US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has expressed doubt that the Ukrainian conflict is a point of interest for US taxpayers, his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault has said, Reuters reports. According to Ayrault, Tillerson openly questioned why American taxpayers should be concerned about the situation in Ukraine. The US official gave his opinion during the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Lucca, Italy, on Tuesday. The French FM told reporters that his answer to the US top diplomat was: "It is in the interests of the US taxpayers to have a Europe that is secure and is strong politically and economically ... You don't want a weak Europe, broken into bits and feeble.” Read more Residential buildings in Shakhtyorsk, destroyed by a Ukrainian military artillery attack. (RIA Novosti/Mikhail Voskresenskiy) Over 10,000 killed in Kiev’s punitive op - Ukrainian MPs Ayrault didn’t specify if Tillerson, who flew to Russia right after the Italian meeting, responded to his comment. According to Russia's RIA news agency, when questioned about the exchange, State Department spokesman Mark Toner stated that he had no knowledge of it, and that Washington remained committed to supporting Kiev, and the ongoing peace process. In its closing communique earlier this week, the G7 stated that the Minsk deal, reached between the warring sides in Ukraine in 2015, hasn’t been implemented in full. The Western powers claimed that Moscow wasn’t doing enough to settle the conflict, saying that “Russia's behavior is not consistent with the rules-based international order.” “We remain united in using a wide array of foreign policy tools, including restrictive measures and sanctions, with the goal of persuading Russia to return to a path of shared respect of those principles,” the G7 statement read. Moscow has repeatedly stated that Kiev is not fulfilling its obligations by violating the agreed ceasefire. Around 10,000 people have died in eastern Ukraine since the military conflict broke out in Ukraine in spring 2014. Back then, the new government in Kiev sent troops to Donbass to quell the population, which rejected an earlier coup in the capital. READ MORE: E.

Poster Comment: Admittedly running a company as massive as Exxon can keep one preoccupied with company affairs. But maybe just like Joe Sixpack Tillerson is oblivious to neocon antics of using US resources to stage a coup in Ukraine so Israeli Khazars can establish a beach head in what once was Khazaria, then gain entry into NATO and use it to fend off Arab attempts to kick the thieving Jew out of Palestine. Of course Ukraine is of no interest to taxpayers; it's a liability. But US Congress critters depend on Jews for success at the polls. The thousands Tillerson donated to Republican campaign was probably canvassed by a Jew who kept one third as commission. But Tillerson's question shows he's an intelligent practical man when it comes to business organization, straight forward and simple; not a Rube Goldberg concoction wherein we have to support Israel with money from taxpayers, etc., so its lobby then "finds" candidates for Congress which then makes grants to Israel from taxpayers funds, millions of which can go to the lobby, Jew MSM plus having to spend trillions to fight Israel's enemies.
