Elijah Macias- "Dispute over Russia reflects growing Republican resistance to Trump"

Summary: There is much debate over President Elect Trump's choice of Secretary of State, Exxon Mobile's Chief Executive, Rex Tillerson. Tillerson has ties to Russia, after he received the "Order of Friendship" from Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2013. This only exacerbates the Russian involvement in the Presidential Election situation, which the CIA thinks that Russia had something to do with Trump's win. Many Republican lawmakers have stated that Russia is not our friend and that, Putin is a criminal. Trump has stated his mistrust of the CIA.

Analysis: Wow, never thought that a crazy thing like this would happen...... If this is indeed true, that trump is a Russian Puppet and Putin is the Puppet master, i think we should be a little scared; We don't need the Russians controlling us. I really hope Trump doesn't have any Russian influence on his win, because many many problems would arise..... and he may face impeachment. Americans do not like Russia..... at all. This can be synthesized with the Corrupt Bargain, when John Q. Adams promised Henry Clay the position of secretary of state. which is eerily similar to our current situation with Tillerson.
Russia are not nice and friendly people, they have committed many war crimes In Ukraine, and should be held accountable. But also, i don't think we want to be on their bad side.
