The United States on Thursday expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to a campaign of harassment by Russia against American diplomats in Moscow, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the Russian diplomats would be given 72 hours to leave the United States. Access to the two compounds will be denied to all Russian officials as of noon on Friday, the official added.

"These actions were taken to respond to Russian harassment of American diplomats and actions by the diplomats that we have assessed to be not consistent with diplomatic practice," the official told Reuters.

Could be a preliminary to declaring the election invalid.

“This guy just keeps on proving to the world what an ass he is. He’s clearly not all there.”

This is jealously for the reception that the military gave President-elect Donald J. Trump at the Army-Navy game, which showed a tremendous amount of respect and joy over his election; that “stompy foot” didn’t get his way with the election on 8 November 2016, and therefore, putting as many obstacles in President Trump’s path when President Trump takes office, and obamas hatred for Trump; Bibi Netanyahu; and absolute hatred for Israel. I have known what obama was back in 2008 BEFORE he ever took office and UNFORTUNATELY, he didn’t disappoint me.

yep.

I can’t believe the panic around here of a WWIII in the next 22 days.

They think obama suddenly has courage.

They think Putin is stupid enough to fight a war with three weeks left to a friendly administration.

The world has gone mad. KGB were evil from beginning to end.

They were the soviet spy agency. CIA the American spy agency.

Their soldiers were Russian patriots to their mind despite the Marxist BS.

We beat the Soviet Union. But Russia remained. Now the former Soviet defenders are Russian defenders. No more no less.

WikiLeaks ‏@wikileaks 3m3 minutes ago Obama's banning Russian diplomats from entering into two diplomatic properties in the US is likely a violation of the Vienna Convention.

Putin knows Obama is a child. He will defer to the next man coming in to pick up the Obama mess.

The crazy thing is closing the two compounds. Russia has operated its spy base in MD for over 40 years and they close it because of a Gmail hack. In theory, Russia could take this as an attack on their sovereignty.

Bonus: Trump will have a hard time revering this EO because it will look like he is colliding with Russia

The Obama Clinton crime families are orchestrating a coup to keep Trump out of office. A very good article on said criminal operation can be found at the Unz, a site that is banned here. The coup involves important US elites, who openly intervene on many levels from the street to the current President, from sectors of the intelligence community, billionaire financiers out to the more marginal ‘leftist’ shills of the Democratic Party.

The build-up for the coup is gaining momentum, threatening to eliminate normal constitutional and democratic constraints. This essay describes the brazen, overt coup and the public operatives, mostly members of the outgoing Obama regime.

The second section describes the Trump’s cabinet appointments and the political measures that the President-Elect has adopted to counter the coup. We conclude with an evaluation of the potential political consequences of the attempted coup and Trump’s moves to defend his electoral victory and legitimacy.
