Moscow decides to expel vocal US Embassy press secretary, as part of tit-for-tat response to American purge of Russian diplomats

One of the most prominent American diplomats in Russia, Embassy spokeswoman Rebecca Ross, has been told to prepare to return to Washington, she has confirmed. The move comes amid a wave of expulsions on both sides of the Atlantic. Russian Foreign Ministry sources said on Wednesday morning that Ross, who has been a vocal critic of the country’s policy, was among 10 US officials who would be henceforth designated personae non gratae. The diplomat herself later revealed to TASS that she had received notification confirming the decision.

Moscow daily Kommersant had reported earlier that the press secretary was at risk of being asked to leave the country, and sources confirmed this to RT. The envoys are said to have been given one month to prepare their departures.

I can’t tell if we are being led by the stupidest people to ever hold office, or just the most corrupt.

We are in a war.

What temperature and against who is still open for debate.

Notice the Atlantic coast has no gas? Wonder who is doing that?
