Tillerson is a good choice.
For the same reasons, I liked Romney as Secretary of State I think Tillerson is a good choice. I think he will be a countervailing force against moving towards an economic nationalism movement as he was a proponent of PTT. I think we have Putin by the balls so I do not think we should let up on economic sanctions. But I suppose those within the administration have more Putin love and it is going to change.
I am a little curious about Trump attacks on the F-35. From my casual reading and understanding, the Russian Air Force has not been competitive with the US Air Force since the Korean War.
Economic policy is also going to be interesting. The guys Trump hired are more associated with Brooking Institute and Goldman Sachs which are more traditionally associated with Democrats. I think there will be some conflicts with Ryan and the American Enterprise Institute boys.
James Baker said this yesterday and I was thinking the same thing that Trump should stop shooting from the hip (phone calls with the Taiwanese) on foreign policy until he has all the levers under his control. Obama may be unwittingly or purposely taking actions counter to Trump's strategy. There are only 35 more days to wait.
