Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday confirmed that US diplomatic missions in Russia will be cut by 755 people, following a sanctions bill the US Congress passed last week.
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday demanded that the United States cut its diplomatic staff in Russia and said it would seize two US diplomatic properties in a sharp response to the new US sanctions bill.
Putin had hoped relations would improve with the US, but now says it does not appear that will happen soon, according to state media.

(13,924 posts)So it looks like tRump and Putin aren't "really" working together.. It seems like the old tit for tat cold war games.. Now if Putin was "really" pissed he would release the Piss tapes or some other information (?Wikileaks?) that would mess up our dear government...
From what I've heard this just pares down the amount of officials to 450 workers each on US and Russia... Parity..
