Spy poisoning: Russia expels 60 US diplomats in tit-for-tat
Moscow has given 60 US diplomats two days to leave Russia and closed the St Petersburg consulate in a tit-for-tat response to US action over a spy poisoning case in the UK. The moves were announced by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, amid a UK-Russian row over the nerve agent attack on a Sergei Skripal and his daughter in southern England on March 4. So far, 27 countries have expelled 140 Russian diplomats in solidarity with Britain, which alleges Russian culpability and which Moscow strenuously denies. The victim, former spy Sergei Skripal, remains in a critical but stable condition. His daughter’s condition is said to be improving.
The west should up the anti on sanctions again. Putin is a thug and his pips should squeak after this arrogant attack that left the UK public exposed to a WMD. He and his cronies must be made to feel the impact personally.
But he did not attack Israel , and is a the only friend Israel really has.
IN THE COLD WAR DAYS THIS IS STANDARD POLITICAL TIT FOR TAT DONT GET ALARMED
PUTEN IS NOT GOING TO WAR WITH THE WEST OVER SILL SHIT HE HAS HIS BILLIONS AND A GOOD LIFE TO LIVE
Where’s the proof?
This is completely stupid, they should have expelled Putin instead.
The western elites wants to break Russia and take its resources and enslave its people and THAT is NEVER going to happen !!! its been tried bu many in history and it failed!!! simple reason cause Russians are tough minded and a total diffirent breed of people to the average western.
Another example of tough people is theTaliban and the Vietkong!!! undefeated by the French, US and Russia.
