WNU Editor: Hmmm ... contrary to what the U.S. State Department is saying, they did break the locks .... Russian Embassy Issues Footage of US Intrusion in Diplomatic Facility (VIDEO) (Sputnik). Russia also still owns the deed to the property .... and until that is resolved it is Russian property/territory. And on a side note, that Russian consulate building is worth a lot of money. It is in a prime location in San Francisco, and I can only imagine the condo opportunities (and the money to be made) if such a project is pursued. If the U.S. wants the property .... the compensation is going to be stiff.
