Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a television interview that the U.S. must cut the size of its diplomatic force in his country by more than half, from about 1,210 to 455.
Putin said Sunday that the cut will make the size of the U.S. diplomatic mission in his country equal to that of Russia's diplomatic corps in the U.S.
"The personnel of the U.S. diplomatic missions in Russia will be cut by 755 people and will now equal the number of the Russian diplomatic personnel in the United States, 455 people on each side," Putin said in an interview on the Rossiya 1 network.

Are there no lengths to which Putin will go to collude with President Trump?
By golly he knows how to cut government employees.
Let’s put him in charge of the VA.
Why do we need so many “diplomats” in the first place?
How many CIA Agents do we need there anyway?
exactly
now the number of US diplomats in Russia matches the number of Russian diplomats in the US
Vlad and the President aren’t colluding very well.
Can you go to Colluding school for that?
5.56mm
Besides trying to create fake news in country to attempt to undermine the President, What the hell do all these people do?
How many fake dossiers on Trump do we need?
I’m sure none of them are trying to collude or trying to influence Russians and advance US interests.
Maybe they are trying to swing Russian elections by forming a voting bloc?
Good!
Now can we fire them?
Wow...I’m so confused...
According to the MSM and democrats, Trump and Putin have a bromance and are were collusion to help get Trump elected and deny Hillary the election...
I guess the petals fell off the rose.../ S
They’re spies, not diplomats. I had uncle in that “business”.
Hence the quotation marks around ‘diplomats’.
So how many were there?
“By golly he knows how to cut government employees.”
Yeah, maybe we can get Putin to fire some of our Congress...
When did the US delegation get so large?? Was it during Obama’s time, or before. And what were they doing to collect a government check?? This very interesting. What are they doing?
1200 diplomats? What do these people do? How much are they paid? Questions I sure would like an answer for. I had no idea. So much wasted money.
I think the main reason Obamacare passed, and the republicans wont repeal it, is the revenue its bringing in. Our politicians love to spend on beaurocracy....both parties.
“By golly he knows how to cut government employees.”
Just what I was thinking. Putin is helping Trump drain the swamp. I guess that is collusion. hahahaha
Trump made a very good try at making “nice” with BOTH the Russkis and the Chinks.
It seems its not working out. Chinks won’t help with the NORKS. Kremlin corruptocrats on this..............
Oh, well—time for plan ‘B’.
Good news. Service at the embassy in Moscow was never that great anyway...an entire huge basement area with offices everywhere...never did figure out what they all did.
