| Kremlin to expel 10 US diplomats in response to US sanctions |
| 2021-04-17 |
| [AlAhram] Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow will order 10 US diplomats to leave Russia in a retaliatory response to the US sanctions. Lavrov also said that Moscow will add eight U.S. officials to its sanctions list and move to restrict and stop the activities of U.S. nongovernment organizations from interfering in Russia's politics. He added that while Russia has a possibility to take ``painful measures'' against the American business in Russia, it wouldn't immediately move to do that. The moves follow a barrage of new sanctions on Russia announced this week by the Biden administration. |

| #1 And just what did all this prove? Especially after the US Navy warships turned back from the Black Sea after Putin warned us? Theater all the way down. As others have said, I just hope Joe doesn't do something really stupid that leads to a major (or even minor) war. |
