CNN: These are all the countries that are expelling Russian diplomats
London (CNN)It's the biggest collective expulsion of alleged Russian intelligence officers in history, according to British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Diplomats are being kicked out of at least 21 countries -- 16 European Union states, the United States, Canada, Ukraine, Norway and Albania -- in a coordinated effort that represents a significant diplomatic victory for the UK, which blames Russia for poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia.
The UK has already expelled 23 Russian diplomats. Moscow retaliated by sending the same number of UK diplomats back, and by shuttering British cultural institutions in the country.

CNN immediately wrote: "Putin doesn't care about 60 diplomats expelled".
Really, CNN, really?
Idiots. Those diplomats are not only spies, which is normal, but they are rich diplomats, very rich often with friendly ties to Putin, sometimes close friends, and they do enjoy staying in the US and Europe. Being kicked out like that will annoy them and they will go cry to Putin about it. And yeah, Putin not only cares because of that, but also because Russia takes another hit in PR. He cares about that.
So, please, CNN, please ffs shut up with your "whatever trump does, it's always unimportant and not working". why the f do you think Kim is now for the first time in China? Certainly not to talk about the weather. He went like a sweaty school boy in his special train to Beijing. And they just told him they won't back him. Why? Because of Taiwan and Trump's threat of a trade war. See how fast that happened?
