They Lied: McConnell And Ryan Just Blocked Expanded Russia Probe To Shield Trump From Impeachment

41. Rex Tillerson -former CEO of Exxon (world's largest petroleum conglomerate, and...

...one of the world's richest corporations which most of the time acts as it own nation-state, even when contrary to US national interests), was just confirmed as the tRump* Secretary of State. Exxon has agreements with Russia to develop potential Russian petroleum reserves valued at multiple billions of dollars. The United States imposed sanctions on Russia for hostile actions, including threatening AND ATTACKING it's neighbors. So sanctions in place, no Exxon petroleum dollars.

Russia, whose economy is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT on it's petroleum revenues, needs to develop its petroleum reserves in the worst way to alleviate its cash flow problems. Russia is broke. Set aside for the moment that Russian probably WOULD NOT HAVE its current cash flow and monetary issues had Putin and his accomplices NOT STOLEN THE WEALTH OF RUSSIA. Forensic accounting experts estimate that in reality, Bill Gates is not the world's richest man. It's Vladimir Putin, whose purloined fortunes are rat-holed around the world in hidden bank vaults, secret accounts and dummy corporations.

Long story short: Expect sanctions to be lifted as soon as possible. Tillerson's appointment to SofS serves a higher purpose, and that purpose IS NOT THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
