U.S. Expels 27 Russian Diplomats

New York Post: Russian diplomats told to leave US as tensions mount over Ukraine 

Russian diplomats departed the US on Wednesday after the State Department told them to leave as tensions soar with Moscow over the ongoing threat of an invasion of Ukraine. 

The Russian Embassy in the USA posted a video of the emotional departure of diplomats, part of 27 people who were supposed to leave by Jan. 30. 

It wasn’t clear if all 27 departed in the video, which shows people hugging and boarding a bus while others wave goodbye. “Today is a very bitter event at our embassy,” Russian Ambassador Antoly Antonov is seen telling a reporter in the video, according to a translation of his comments.

I understand why the Russian ambassador is being told to go die to Russian intransigence over the visas for his bodyguards.

Maybe there is a good reason to explain these 27 Russian diplomats, but I have not heard one. I have not heard a reason period.

When Trump shutdown the Chinese consulate, they gave a reason. They accused the Chinese of helping to foment unrest after George Floyed OD'd. Of course the Democrats thought it was beyond the pale t close the consulate. But really nothing is legal nor moral unless they bless it.

Why expel diplomats form the embassy and not start with a consulate?

Is it to cover for Joe, the Democrats and the midterms?

Locally radio station played a clip of Joe Biden talking about how much fun he had driving a hummer. It was about 5 mangled sentences long. God help us.

Been trying to find the clip of course YouTube & Google are trying to make it hard to find the clip.
