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.

They were probably helping to organize Pride Parades in Moscow.

I was a very uncommon visitor to that area they said. So maybe it was er, like spy country underground.

Over 20 years ago now. But I do remember how amazing it was to be an American at that embassy. They would open the doors in the morning and ask if there were any Americans, and I would just make it through the crowd and past the guard and they shut the door.

1200 diplomats?

Include families and that number probably swells to 3000 or more!

President Trump is severely handicapped in making nice with the Russians due to the media and democrats. It used to be that politics stopped at the shoreline.

With the democrats, they BEGIN there.

If we ever drift into war with Russia, we can say it began with Obama and McCain and their fake narrative of Russian interference in the election of 2016 lapped up by a willing media. Our politicalized intelligence agencies shamefully helped.

Thank you, Vlad!!
A number anywhere between 0-20 sounds more appropriate.

Think how many more countries this is happening in, thanks to diplomatic bloat - we are paying thousands of people to hang out and do what?!

Congress created this mess, by treating Russia the same as North Korea and Iran when it comes to trade.

This is coming from the same clowns always saying they are for free trade.... The irony!

Yet they want to punish Russia and risk war with because Hillary lost. Never mind their is not a shread of evidence.

That is the insanity of our congress.

Well how bout this??

Overwhelming majorities in both the House (419-3) and Senate (98-2) voted for sanctions. There’s always an agreement when it come to starting a war…but how about repealing Obamacare? No way, can’t possibly do that.

How many of the 755 are loyal to the swamp/deep state?

Is Russia doing Trump a favor? Collusion?
