Trump admin orders Russia to shutter consulate, annexes

 By Morgan Chalfant - 08/31/17 12:30 PM EDT   

The U.S. government is ordering Russia to shutter a consulate in San Francisco as well as annexes in Washington and New York, the State Department announced Thursday.

The move was positioned as a response "in the spirit of parity" to the Russian government's order that the United States cut down the number of diplomatic personnel in Russia, which a State spokesman described as "unwarranted and detrimental."

Moscow is ordered to close the facilities by Saturday.

It seems the Democrats have intentionally sabotaged international relations and that is terrible. I'm no fan of Russia but we have to live with them and they are the 2nd most powerful country on earth and the biggest one.

The intelligence community believes Russia hacked Democratic groups and leaked information with the intention of helping to get Trump in the White House.

There was no hack!

What a clown show. Disgusted with the lot of 'em.
