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."

ZeroHedge should expend its energy making a list like that for every single one of Putin’s lies...
Plus a list of all of Putin’s kleptocrat oligarch$’ and corresponding assets in their globali$t Western bank accounts and Western homes and real estate.
A list of Putin’s fierce Islamic ties within and outside his country, and his allegiance to Iran. His lies and sabotaging of the Holy Land by way of Syria.
The writers of ZeroHedge seem so in love with China and Russia. If they are self-loathing Americans, they should move. Tyler Durden the writer refers to himself as? How appropriate. Punching himself and bashing the West in style.
Yeah, like who is going to “take down Putin” ?
(stupid troll)
Good, also, some countries like Australia are seriously, looking at boycotting the World Cup. If Germany and France sat out... Spain too along with England, that’d really sink this world cup. I was never a fan of Russia or Qatar getting the WC.
We don’t need to get anything from them. To heck with the Putin trolls, do what is right.
I trust them a lot more than the crappy system of Russia where fast food workers make more than doctors,
https://themoscowtimes.com/news/russian-doctors-paid-less-than-fast-food-workers-57667
an unfree country with no free press. Crappy country that the Putin trolls say Ukraine wants to join.
Crappy country, Russia that attacked a Christian country since Russia could fall to Islam.
Trust them a lot more than an unfree part Islamic nation like Russia.
iirc ZeroHedge posts are banned from FR.
Corrupt nation that let a fire destroy its own citizens, that sent its own young men to be slaughtered against the US.
Russia = Crummy half-Islamic nation known for its high-class prostitutes.
Russian himself says Putin got 10,000,000 fraudulent votes, fraudulent leader.
What a silly wasteful move.
#### England.
I dont trust Putin as far as I can spit, but whatever his motives were, he kept the fight with ISIS going, along with the Kurds, until Trump got elected.
WTF hae the Brits done for us lately?
Except bash Trump since day 1.
OK, but we’re not talking about that.
What we’re talking about is a nation attacking, killing in the case of Litvinenko, people in the sovereign territory of another nation.
Like muslims killing and raping by the 100s in England?
Muslim nationals. What steps were taken against those governments?
Which governments ?
I agree with you about muslims, but, which governments ?
In 2009, shortly after the blog was founded, news reports identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian-born former hedge-fund analyst who was barred from the industry for insider trading by FINRA in 2008, as the founder of the site, and reported that "Durden" was a pseudonym for Ivandjiiski.[9][10][11][2] One contributor, who spoke to New York magazine after an interview was arranged by Ivandjiiski, said that "up to 40" people were permitted to post under the "Durden" name.[9] The website is registered in Bulgaria at the same address as that of Strogo Sekretno, a site run by Ivandjiiski's father, Krassimir Ivandjiiski.[12] Zero Hedge is registered under the name Georgi Georgiev, a business partner of Krassimir Ivandjiiski.[13]
In April 2016, the authors writing as "Durden" on the website were reported by Bloomberg News to be Ivandjiiski, Tim Backshall (a credit derivatives strategist), and Colin Lokey. Lokey, the newest member revealed himself and the other two when he left the site in April 2016. Ivandjiiski confirmed that the three men "had been the only Tyler Durdens on the payroll" since Lokey joined the site in 2015.[2]

Craig Pirrong, professor at the Bauer College of Business writes that "I have frequently written that Zero Hedge has the MO of a Soviet agitprop operation, that it reliably peddles Russian propaganda: my first post on this, almost exactly three years ago, noted the parallels between Zero Hedge and Russia Today."[6][23][7]

BS....
Why do we need to be “getting something from the British” for this? We condmen use of that sort of weapon no matter who uses it or where they use it - Russia stepped over so many lines it’s insane. What kind of idiot wants some of our nation’s core values to be dependent on other nations “giving us something” for practicing our values?
