Russia orders US to cut embassy staff in retaliation for sanctions


The new US embassy staffing level would be the same as at Russia's embassy in Washington.

The Russian foreign ministry also said it was seizing holiday properties and a warehouse used by US diplomats.

The new US sanctions were drawn up in part to punish Russia further for annexing Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

I said a few weeks ago the Senate did not want to pass this bill. They were looking for a way out. The House didn't want to be left holding the bag so they threatened to pass whatever the Senate passed. The Senate caved.

Trump lawst. :blessed:

this whole thing was the pack of dogs chasing the car and finally caught it and now dont know what the f to do.
it was great theater for them to rant against the Black man because they knew the Black man would save them
by vetoing whatever crap they tried to slide.
Now they had Cheeto who was not only gonna sign but was forcing them off the cliff to die so he could stand up on the pile of their dead broken bodies and make the stupid face he always makes while protesting innocence and saying "he always said the bill was too mean!"

they all know good and G d damn well the ACA isnt creating all these "victims" nor is it "not freedom"
or "the same as slavery"

all these stupid fukks had to do is go ahead and make the tweeks that everyone knows are needed.
slap some bullshyt moniker like "Trumpcare" or "RepubRDaBest " care on it or something
and they would have been heroes.

but nooooo....

so fukk em. i hope they all get primaried from the right and challenged in every district from the left.

demons
:pacspit:

Russia demands U.S. reduce diplomatic staff in new round of conflict over election hacking
MOSCOW —

Russia announced Friday it would seize U.S. diplomatic properties and demand that the State Department reduce its staff in Russia, a tit-for-tat punishment that the Russian Foreign Ministry said was spurred by a financial sanctions bill now awaiting a signature from President Trump.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok should reduce the number of their “diplomatic and technical employees” to 455, in apparent parity with the number of Russian diplomatic staff in the United States.

The Foreign Ministry also said it would seize a Moscow warehouse and dacha complex used by the U.S. Embassy.

A U.S. Embassy spokesman could not immediately say how many people worked for the embassy and consulates in Russia, nor what kind of cuts would be required to meet the Russian government’s new requirements.

In December, President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russians described as “intelligence operatives” and seized two Russian diplomatic compounds in retaliation for Russia’s interference in the 2016 residential election. Russia’s Foreign Ministry then recommended that President Vladimir Putin respond in kind by expelling U.S. diplomats. But Putin said he would wait, in an apparent effort to build trust with Trump and hope that the newly elected president would reverse the decision after his inauguration.

Friday’s move by the Russian government, coming the morning after the U.S. Senate approved sweeping sanctions against Russia, as well as North Korea and Iran, signaled that this honeymoon was over. Russia has said it will retaliate against new U.S. sanctions once the final version is signed into law.
