The Russian diplomats are suspected of being intelligence operatives involved in an explosion at a Czech arms depot in 2014 which killed two people.

Two Russians suspected of carrying out a nerve agent attack in the UK in 2018 are now also being linked to the blast.

EU foreign ministers are due to discuss the accusations.

Moscow has given the Czech diplomats a day to leave, while the Czech Republic has given the Russians 72 hours.

Russia's foreign ministry called the Czech decision "unprecedented" and a "hostile act".

Fortunately for the Czechs, they do not have a common border with the Russians, unlike in 1968, when Czechoslovakia bordered the USSR and Poland, East Germany, and Hungary were obedient satellite states.

A lot of diplomatic expulsions happening right now. I’ve got a bad feeling there’s a war brewing.

Another Biden miracle. That’s all they need, so they can get their dream of bringing back Wilsonian Sedition Acts. Criticize a Deep Stater, go to jail.

Everybody with a bit of brain realizes that the story of bombing is a fake, and uglier that average of them, including Afghanistan bounties.

If you heard the original story, Petrov and Boshirov are blamed - the GRU officers accused in Salisbury poisoning.

I heard attempts to blame the couple for Suez logjam.

Mainstream media and ‘intelligence community’ are turning international politics into Rocky and Bulwinkle.

The targets are obviously the Czech deal for Sputnik V and two nuclear plants by Rosatom, there Westinghouse wants a deal.
