Discussion: US Retaliates Against Russia With Closure Of Consulate In San Francisco

Given the apparent aggressiveness of Russian hacking, closing the San Francisco consulate seems like a good move, and not one driven by the adminstration’s Russian moles.

Retaliates? That’s what they say. But my sources, who attended a meeting where video and audio recording were not allowed, tell me it went down like this:
“These consulates are nothing but nests of spies devoted to stealing our most important secrets and passing them directly to the Kremlin”, the President declared. “So for them, it’s Mission Accomplished. Congratulations, guys! And I have it on excellent authority that soon you’ll be given another country to subvert.”
Through a spokesman, President Putin announced a three-year contract with Trump to handle all Western personnel matters for the FSB, formerly the KGB. “He likes the idea of being paid in a hard currency”, Putin explained.

The Trump administration said the move constituted its response to the Kremlin’s “unwarranted and detrimental” decision to force the U.S. to cut its diplomatic staff.

In case no one checked with The Boss, this was a cost-cutting measure that reduced the size of the government. I’d call that beneficial to the US. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Well, I kind of wish the US would “retaliate” by securing our national voting infrastructure and guarding against the inflow of Russian backed propaganda.

Call me crazy.

Since Trump gets his “intelligence” from FOX and Friends we can also shut down the CIA, NSA and the whole $60 billion dollar intelligence gathering effort.
