I I am not so sure this is not an orchestrated expulsion with trump having first called Putin for the names of diplomats to be expelled with Putin's approval.

Bolton wants to go to war against Iran and NK pre-emptively. Russia committed an act of war against us and crickets.

Trump has Putin’s approval for these removals for useless positions, more important Russian spy’s are closer to WH. Why not impose sanctions approved by congress. Close Russian facilities he reopened in SF. What trump is doing is for show

Forgive me if I suspect his is all for show. CYA for GOP running this year.

We are so indebted to to the foeign whistle blowers like Steele and Wylie who have helped us to understand the results of several years of scheming and exploitation. I salute your integrity and intrepidation.

Don't be fooled, there probably is an agreement that this is for optics, to take the heat off of Trump, they will be allowed back in when they think this has blown over

Without the Congressional sanctions enforced, this is relatively toothless.

Sanctions and financial punishment is all Putin understands. Hit him in the wallet.

I will believe it’s meaningful when we affect Putin’s revenue sources
