Reuters: Russia expels No. 2 American official in Moscow, U.S. weighs response
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russia has expelled Bart Gorman, the No. 2 U.S. official in Moscow, the State Department said on Thursday, with Washington warning that it would respond to the "unprovoked" move amid heightened fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Gorman was forced to leave Moscow in response to what it called the "unreasonable expulsion" of a senior Russian official by Washington, accusing the United States of unleashing a "visa war."
Gorman, who had served as U.S. deputy chief of mission, left Russia last week, a senior State Department official said. It was unclear why the expulsion was not announced until Thursday.

The schizo is making some sense for once
Good! He is a foolish and detestable person for supporting Biden and the rest of the clowns.
If he were brave, he would have retired and then launched some blistering editorials against the fools.
We were regaled with idiots such s Colonel Vindmann during the Trump presidency. Now we have a much worse presidency and and all these idiots do is cash their paycheck as we go to Defcon 2.
What has Joe done?
Red lighted Keystone XL and the Israeli pipeline as he greenlight Nordstream 2. Ignored Algeria, Nigeria and Morocco.
Put Federal land off limits for new oi and gas exploration.
Cut the military budget.
Engage in race baiting and gaslighting Pulled 160 Florida national guardsmen out of Ukraine. At that point Biden might as well turned around, bent over and parted his cheeks.
Whatever troops we send would be backed up by 200,000 Ukrainian troops. At the very least Joe could send a few thousand troops to Odessa to change the Putin's calculation and skew the cost benefit analysis.
Odessa is very close to Romania and the Romania could send troops of have troops stationed as back up.
I am glad Gorman got kicked. Now, he can be just as useless in DC.
Agree with some of your points.
Which ones do you disagree with? The parting cheeks? Joe is the one with the over the top pick of Sam Brinton, so what would be the problem of Joe bottoming for Putin?
