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.

More fake news so the media won’t have to talk about Obama’s direct involvement in the screwing of Israel.
Do you think that Putin has no idea what the Obassturd is trying to do and also just how any retaliatory act will be met with an even harsher one from the brat?
Cooler heads will prevail.
By the way, Ryan is on board and says the action is long overdue.
An attempt to make fiction a reality.
Far be it from me to say “We told you so” This was on many minds of American Citizens when he was first elected. He would find any way possible to stay and NEVER relinquish the power of the WH. President Trump will certainly have his hands full. Attempting to keep the dog off his leg and cleaning up the dung left by the pooch.
>> CNN is calling the expelled “Russian Operatives”
CNN conspired to throw the election.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Certainly no surprise to actually see him burn down our White House as he marches thru the door.
I so want Trump, Putin and Mossad to neuter all the unreasonable, narcissistic and pathological politicians, talking deadheads and brainless media hacks of any political persuasion across the Western World and beyond. 2016 exposed the gravy train lushes on both sides of the political equation. Now, it is time for the genuine business of “We the People.” There is rebuilding needed all over America and in every city. Given the chance, a new and more logical world awaits in 2017. Just gets us to January 20th and thereafter safely!
At least he thinks he does. . .
Pray that Obama’s dirt will soon be known to one and all. Perhaps the walls in the White House will start talking or a few brave patriots will expose eight years of treachery and treason.
Putin does know this indeed. However, he still combats severe stress and the inability to sleep over the unfortunate situations in Ukraine and Syria as well as other serious matters also very much involving the same Obama-orchestrated American-European/NATO policies.
For me, if I could not have President Trump, I would be okay with President Putin. They both share a particular genius or two. ;D

Can you form an intelligent reply or can you only make snarky, middle school masturbation references?
Diplomacy is about deal-making. This puts PE Trump in a disadvantaged position, at least in the short term.
If he doesn’t reverse the sanctions he is all but admitting they were justified.
If he does reverse the sanctions he risks appearing to not place faith in the intelligence agencies he has to rely on to provide him with assessment of what is going on around the world and what threats the US faces short and long term. He could also come off as not caring if our diplomats are harassed by the governments, and operatives of those governments, in the nations where they serve.
You are probably the only person on FR who agrees with what Obama is doing with the Russians.
When Putin collides with Trump, I hope you choose America and Trump over Putin.
“Obama is seriously trying to start a war on his way out.
I don’t know what the deal is, because the Russians used to be besties with the Dems.
Leading up to the election, Hillary was ‘nuke’ rattling. Basically, she challenged Putin to a nuclear war. Had she won, I strong believe we would be in a ‘hot’ war with Russian by now.
Now, Obama seems to be doing the same — trying to stir up something with the Russians.”
This is ALL ABOUT OBAMA, as EVERYTHING IS,......and I’ve been afraid of this ever since he was re-elected back in 2012, that “stompie foot” would pull something that would give him the authority to declare martial law so that he could stay in office. Trust me, stompy doesn’t want to give that up. How many times over the past LOOOONG 8 years when he has been at some conference and he has wiggled his way in the front of the picture taking to make sure everyone sees him???? Too many for me to remember.
That POS is out of office as of noon on January 20, even if the United States is hit by a nuclear strike or is invaded. If he tries to stay in office past that point, he's putting himself and his family in grave danger.
