Russia's ambassador to Washington has been recalled to Moscow for "consultations" to determine how to move forward with relations with the U.S., the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.

Why it matters: The news came hours after an interview aired in which President Biden agreed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "killer" and pledged to hold the Kremlin accountable for interfering in the 2020 election.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova did not provide specific reasons for the recall of Ambassador Anatoly Antonov, but she said relations with the U.S. "are in a difficult state, which Washington has brought to a dead end in recent years."

Don’t countries pull their ambassador just before an attack?

Why doesn't Biden have anything to say about Xi Jinping - you know, the guy who operates actual concentration camps and is busy committing genocide right now?

I hope it does not develop too much.

I am not sure I want to find out how bad things have to get before the democrats admit they are all, everyone of them, idiots.

Yes. Democrats. The Masters of World Politics at it again. They just love to start wars. Too bad our military is on a 60 day hiatus to purge all the non-woke from its ranks.

So if the Russians invade, do we fight back or hail them as liberators?

Did Biden read those words off a teleprompter or were they ad lib out of his mouth?

Gotta give it to Democrats. They play the news-cycle game so much better than we do. Last night, even NBC & ABC News were forced to briefly cover the debacle at our southern border. The networks and national newspapers were practically were begging Biden for anything to turn the page. So, Biden gives it to them.

First, he gets his buddies at CIA to leak a BS story about even more ‘Russian interference,’ then he calls Putin a name and then Putin recalls our Ambassador. This is a win/win/win for Biden...and Putin.

I guess it’s easy to manipulate the media when they’re willing participants.

Biden is an idiot. By driving up the price of oil, you are putting billions into the Russian economy. They are borderline third world without oil profits. With oil profits, they can actually DO things.

Excellent question!

With these incompetents running things perhaps being a Russian-American wouldn't be a bad thing.

He did. He said China doing genocide was a cultural thing.

I guess Biden did worse in Diplomacy School than he did in Law School.

Biden needs to see the “cultural norms” that Putin is exhibiting in his actions. Then Biden can rest in peas. Or corn, maybe Brussels Sprouts for the EU, or baloney?
