Trump administration retaliates against Russia, forces closure of US posts
The Trump administration on Thursday retaliated against Russia for expelling hundreds of U.S. diplomats, announcing Moscow will be required to close several posts in major American cities.

The State Department, in a statement that warned of a “downward spiral” in relations, said Russia must close its consulate general in San Francisco as well as its chancery annex in Washington, D.C., and consular annex in New York City.

“These closures will need to be accomplished by September 2,” spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in the statement.

The decision was in retaliation for Russian President Vladimir Putin kicking out more than 700 U.S. diplomats – after Trump, reluctantly, signed a sanctions law passed by Congress.

Wait....the Russian move made the # of our diplomats in their country equal to the number of their diplomats in ours, after we had booted out about 4 dozen in December. Now Trump is retaliating for their retaliation? He is truly retarded, isn't he?

The State Department is not Trump and in fact the head of the State Department, Rex just recently made clear that the president doesn't speak for them.

Trump did have something to say about Russia expelling 700 diplomats, it was:

THANK YOU, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?

"Hey Vlad, we have to keep up the charade that we're not in cahoots, so I'm gonna "retaliate" by closing a few of your consulates here. Is that cool? It's just temporary, we'll reopen them in a few months when America has chosen to focus on something else. We're still friends, right? We have to maintain the illusion here. BTW, Melania and I will be coming soon to visit our "special hotel." Can you please provide extra bed sheets for us? Things always get a bet wet in there....Thanks Vlad! Kisses"

I wonder if Putin will pull a Trump and thank him for this

We saved a few million a year with him doing that. It helps welfare chumps like you pay your parents to keep the basement light on. Maybe you should thank him too?

 

[AntonToo]

No we didn't, Putin doesn't fire American staff, he simply sends them out of the country. They are career professionals that still work for the State Department.
