“The plane took off, everyone has left,” RIA quoted the embassy’s press service as saying.
Obama ordered the expulsion of 35 Russian suspected spies and imposed sanctions on two Russian intelligence agencies over the hacking of U.S. political groups during the 2016 presidential election.
Russian President Vladimir Putin decided not to expel anyone in retaliation, saying he would consider the actions of President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, when deciding on further steps in Russia-U.S. relations.
Trump doesn’t know it (of course) but colluding with an enemy state (Rooshia) is an impeachable offense. They only have 20,000 nuclear warheads aimed at us. His love for Czar P-Utin is based on that dictator’s hatred of human rights, a free press, democracy, stalinism, plutocracy. 500,000 Soviet Jews living in Eretz Yisroel ran from his ilk.
I’m surprised that not one reporter could figure out that obamas expelling those Russian diplomats is to spite Putin for he;ping Assad in Aleppo . Obama picked the side of the rebels fighting there and Assad did win that battle with help from Putin.
I still think it is better to be at peace with Russia, than Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. etc.
Good riddance to those Ruskies; they were nothing but spies, who hid under the blanket of diplomatic immunity.
