The United States on Thursday expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to a campaign of harassment by Russia against American diplomats in Moscow, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.
The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the Russian diplomats would be given 72 hours to leave the United States. Access to the two compounds will be denied to all Russian officials as of noon on Friday, the official added.
"These actions were taken to respond to Russian harassment of American diplomats and actions by the diplomats that we have assessed to be not consistent with diplomatic practice," the official told Reuters.

But you seem to know?
Thinking about your response. Would it be a bad thing if diplomats in both the US and Russia who served during O’s administration are replaced? Might help drain the swamp.
You are right — so right. Who was this obama? No one knew him. He had no class mates. He had no grades. How could this nation have been so stupid. The Republications ran dogs against him. McCain was for Amnesty of illegal aliens. Romney was the father of socialized medicine and a Mormon. Those guys had no chance even against this fake man that had no substance.
I recently studied the findings of the official investigation into his birth certificate. It is an absolute photo shopped forgery. Where was this man actually born? Where was the media and journalism during this fraud?
He’ll reopen them and tell the naysayers to go play with themselves.
They’re never going to love him anyway.
They made themselves irrelevant.
The U.S. enacts sanctions against Democrats and expels hundreds of Democrats in state houses nationwide, due to hacking of 50 years of democratic elections.
The Russians are laughing.
I know they’ve beaten Americans, yes. I think the Putin fan club wouldn’t care, though. I think there is a prevailing belief of some here now that Putin is pursuing America’s interest and is a swell fellow, certainly not a former KGB man.
Need to find these diplomats a sanctuary city to hang out in for a few weeks.
Less than one month until the Idiot-President is gone forever.
Let Us Practice. Repeat after me:
It was BO’Bs fault.
That was due to the stupidity of BO’B
That occurred in BO’Bs administration.
BO’B was responsible for that decision....it is his fault
For the diplomats let go in Russia, they won’t be returning. They’ll be out of jobs on 1/21.
You are mistaken. We are not talking about political appointees here on the US side. They won’t be out of jobs on 1/21.

wow
This sure looks like a prelude to Obama declaring the election invalid, doesn’t it?.
Can He ?
Well, it used to be that the Left claimed that fascism was coming to America. Why can’t conservatives enjoy fantasy that support their bias?
[This sure looks like a prelude to Obama declaring the election invalid, doesnt it?.]
I trust nothing from this Manchurian Candidate.
The toddlers are in the WH too long.
Can’t wait for the adults to finally arrive.
I’m just sitting here shaking my head...I cannot believe someone could be as dumb as this person is...really...did they take his brain out and put something else inside there, is that what that big ear to ear scar is on his head???
I thought I had seen ‘stupid’ during this election, but this really takes the cake...
Your comment about the ‘real world’ set the fuse for a good deal of laughter. Thanks for the image.
“American diplomats have been attacked in Russia by FSB agents.”
Correct. And there’s no excuse for it.
This is an appropriate response.
