The United States, European Union countries, Canada and Ukraine expelled more than 100 Russian diplomats on Monday in response to Russia's alleged use of a nerve agent to poison a former Russian spy living in the United Kingdom.
President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats the US identified as intelligence agents and the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle, the most forceful action Trump has taken against Russia to date. Of those being expelled, 48 of the alleged intelligence agents work at the Russian embassy in Washington and 12 are posted at the United Nations in New York, senior administration officials said.
Russia and the United Kingdom have been embroiled in a bitter diplomatic fight since Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter, 33-year-old Yulia Skripal, were poisoned in the English cathedral city of Salisbury on March 4.
British Prime Minister Theresa May called the broad move "the largest collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers in history."

“And the hits just keep on coming ! “
America’s most sweeping expulsion of Russian diplomats since the Cold War may have seemed like a dramatic escalation in Washington’s response to Moscow, but the groundwork for a more confrontational U.S. posture had been taking shape for months — in plain sight.

An audience with the Queen.
Trump needs to publicly release all the evidence for Russian involvement in this alleged nerve agent attack.
Then, Trump needs to explain why Conservatives should trust any information that comes from the FBI or USA intelligence agencies.
While he’s at it, Trump should also release all the evidence for alleged nerve gas attacks by Assad in Syria.
Then, Trump should declassify and release all the FISA Court documents related to “Russia Collusion.”
Until I see some hard, verifiable evidence, I will not believe any of this crap.

And they will expulse ours. Just a lot of show.

That’s a good thing.
Yeah, right.
After all these decades you think the Russians have not learned how not to leave any fingerprints ?
cui bono ?
Thanks for agreeing that there is no evidence.
Re: “Cui Bono?”
Everyone in the world who wants to take down Putin?
In a strange way, Putin IS saving Western civilization, by uniting us against him and reminding us what we fought so hard in the 20th Century to save and protect in the first place.
And why we won.
Yes. Using a nerve agent that can be easily traced back to the creator. Doesn’t sound very bright...does it? Unless it was a false flag operation.
Trump needs to publicly release all the evidence...
What evidence? The Brits are good at making things up.
Good. They were spying on our sea port!
O1) Moscow wanted to test the personality of the British prime minister who had to be forced to pursue the Litvinenko case but now is prepared to be more forceful, something that in this case fits in with the Kremlin’s plans.
2) Pre-election move on Putin’s part timed to ensure Russians that they are in fact a besieged fortress under attack and need Putin to defend them. Putin *benefits* from these hostilities. As one Russian analyst points out:
“Life in a besieged fortress is filled with enthusiasm when the enemy it shooting at it. But a fortress which everyone has forgotten about … is a sad spectacle.” To ensure that attacks keep coming, the master of that fortress must continue to launch attacks of various kinds in order to get a reaction.
Putin thinks the West will ultimately fold “out of fear of a nuclear war...
