Russia recalls ambassador to U.S. for "consultations" after Biden calls Putin a "killer"

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."

Putin might fake an attack, and prompt the idiot in chief to do something stupid.

This would be a good time for our military to step in... eh.?

Good observation. Hopefully more Americans are becoming more savvy.

Btw, from my perspective the media is nothing more then the communications division for deep state. They’re experts using the media to destabilize and compromise entire countries.

I miss President Donald J. Trump.

Yeah? Well guess what? If you’re not already one of the majority of people on the planet who feel that way, you soon will be because even the kiddies in their mommy’s basement are starting to get wise to what the ‘rats are doing to destroy our once-great country!

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

No. Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, the Japanese ambassador to the US visited Secretary of State Cordell Hull to deliver an ultimatum on December 7th, 1941. He was unaware of the Japanese attack that morning on Pearl Harbor. Many of the various ambassadors in the European war tried to remain at their posts, but most were evicted by the Germans. Historically, the ambassadors from belligerent countries are ordered to leave. But, they are not arrested. The Germans held the British ambassador and his staff until the German ambassador returned home, then they allowed the ambassador and his staff to leave.

I have, on several occasions, worked for a boss who was like Biden. One was suffering severe dementia. I was quite often put on the spot by people in the companies we dealt with over insane things he had done. I always tried to do whatever I could to even things out and it was made easier by the fact that the people insulted or slighted or who had lost money because of him actually understood what was happening. I suspect that’s the case here.

But if it gets too bad, I’d imagine we will see a few ambassadors resign.

What military? The collection of transgender, gay, pregnant, woke critters in uniforms we have now? Odungo started and BozoJoe is finishing transforming our once mighty military into a clown squad.

Biden’s diplomacy is failing far too soon. His handlers have let him off the leash so that even the MSM starts talkin’ about 25th amendment and putting Kameltoe Harrass in charge. It’ll take some time for this to overwhelm prez* Biden so that it’s good and proper when he steps down soon after the 2year +1 day goalpost.

We all have a pretty good idea what Putin is. Shooting your mouth
off and hurling slurs at him is not going to be productive.

It’s as if the Biden team has determined to drive Putin as deep
as they can into China’s camp. A lot of good that will do.

If conflict comes about at some point, some of our troop’s ill lose
their lives to Russian forces, if they are on the other side.

Actually, yeah.

They were supposed to have presented the DoW just before the attack began. Decoding apparently took way longer than expected (our decoders by some accounts finished before the Japanese embassy staff did) and so forth.

Good point.

The Left has no grasp whatsoever of global dynamics.

Never thought those lines would be blurred but here we are.
If they came to restore the constitution and leave, my choice is clear.

With Biden in power, liberators.

It's Putin and Russians that kicked out their evil London-based central banksters.

Biden is fully on-board with the FEDsters and the Central Banksters.

My guess is that the Biden Crime Family is harvesting lots of $$$ from all this stupid crap.

So if the Russians invade, do we fight back or hail them as liberators?
....................................................
Friend, that question is not as outlandish as it sounds. I’ve been saying since the demise of the USSR that Russia just may turn out to be the last refuge of those “white devils” of the West. You know, all the ones who refuse to get “woke”!
