They clearly have a tainted political bias and skew stuff. But do they also have a track record of reporting purely phony stories?

Remember the narrative people.

We didn’t like the Soviet Union (although good libs like Ted Kennedy talked to them secretly) but when they collapsed, we had good relations with their drunk PM in the 90’s.

But now, another KGB bad-guy is in power, who doesn’t like gays, and persecutes Wall Street hedge-fund managers, and opposes “democracy” in places like Ukraine, Libya, and Syria. So now Russians are bad from top to bottom, and don’t be surprised if there is a war, which they will have started.

Probably Spy Vs Spy. Real spies in embassies don’t look like James Bond. I can’t read article due to paywall.

Maybe the person’s name is classified and the Washington Post followed protocol to not publish classified info in a non-classified public newspaper. /s

Communazis over there, communarchists there, we conservative Americans right in the middle.

They landed in the northeast, hopped to the west coast, have been slithering down the east coast and into the Gulf. Having come only for the money and against the best of U.S. culture, they obtained degrees and government-connected jobs and are now the voice of bipartisan politics.

The United States of America were not intended to be a regulated up, Prusso-Roman oligarchy. Why are they bringing the worst policies of their homelands to my country—policies that they themselves complained about?

Need to know more about this story. Washington Post isn’t a trustworthy source just a Kenyan circus advertising periodical.

And how often is the name of a genuine diplomat classified? Never, of course - only covert agents have their names classified.
