Darn. I was hoping they’d just recall Trump.
“Sergey Lavrov said U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, where he was given notice that Russia is responding quid pro quo to the U.S. decision to order 60 Russian diplomats out.”
I think Lucky Cat speaks for all Americans with his special message for Sergey:
(Apologies to @jeffrey)
Being expelled from Russia is a blessing. The place is a fucking shit hole.
This administration doesn’t do diplomacy anyway.
He doesn’t even traitor good, the talent-free zone.
Yes, but won’t this be hard on Backchannel Boy? He has to keep taking time away from selling U.S. visas to set up new backchannels.
I suspect that was handled before any of this was.
Priorities.
I’d really love to see Russia get its comeuppance in the near future. Mueller is going to name names at some point and lay the whole conspiracy out. And provided the Democrats can take control of congress this year things can actually get going removing that stain on the country.
I’d also like to kindly suggest a return to actual alliances and diplomacy. As in a huge boycott of Russian goods and services, restrictions on Russians wanting to travel to the west, a massive seizing of every dollar of Russian government and oligarch assets worldwide, INTERPOL arrest warrants for all top Russian oligarchs and their minions. We should squeeze Russia economically until they cry uncle. Then we should launch a massive cyberattack and crush all of their critical infrastructure and knock their dicks in the dirt while they are down.
