Putin appoints new Russian ambassador to US

MOSCOW –  A career Russian diplomat, who gained the reputation of a hawk during his earlier tenure at the Defense Ministry, was named the new ambassador to the United States on Monday.

The 62-year old Anatoly Antonov was appointed to the job by President Vladimir Putin's order, according to the Kremlin.

Antonov takes the job at a time when U.S.-Russia relations are badly strained following the approval of a new wave of U.S. sanctions against Moscow and the Kremlin's decision to sharply cut the U.S. diplomatic personnel in Russia.

Almost every Senator, not all voted for those sanctions. The ayes included 90+ Senators, Rand Paul voted against the sanctions.

The Russian scandal is a bit of a joke in my eyes. There are plenty of things to be suspicious of Russia about. No doubt about that.

Someone messed with our diplomats in Cuba; and we need to find out who did that and take appropriate actions.
