U.S. Orders Closure Of Russian Consulate In San Francisco by omusiliyu(m): 12:43am On Sep 01, 2017 |
The U.S. has ordered Russia to close its consulate in San Francisco, the U.S. State Department said on Thursday. The order was in response to the Kremlin’s decision to shrink the U.S. diplomatic mission in Russia. The U.S. also required Russia to close its two annex buildings in Washington, D.C. and New York City. In July, Moscow had ordered the U.S. to cut its diplomatic and technical staff in Russia by more than half to 455 people after Congress overwhelmingly approved new sanctions against Russia. “We believe this action was unwarranted and detrimental to the overall relationship between our countries. “In the spirit of parity invoked by the Russians, we are requiring the Russian government to close its Consulate General in San Francisco, a chancery annex in Washington, D.C., and a consular annex in New York City.“ These closures will need to be accomplished by Sept. 2,” State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a statement on Thursday. However, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed regret during a phone call with his U.S. counterpart Rex Tillerson about Washington’s move to close down Moscow’s San Francisco consulate and the other annexes. “Moscow will closely study the new measures announced by the Americans, after which our reaction will be conveyed,” Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/u-s-orders-closure-of-russian-consulate-in-san-francisco.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C3571438319 |

Vladimirovich Putin - Thou Siberian Tiger of Moskow; Shut down the Amerikan consulate in Moskow and evict all the Amerikan Spying Cockroaches within 24hours. The irunmoles have anointed you as the saviour & defender of the helpless. Your exploits in Syria - and now Libya & Afghanistan against the Amerikan-backed Terrorists have been documented & written in 72karat Gold - they shall never fade. For those who do not know, Russia now has a strong presence in Libya - providing political & military assistance to Libyan General Khalifa Haftar who controls a significant chunk of the Libyan territory. The real driving forces behind Russian involvement in Libya are a mixture of ambition, opportunism & anti-western sentiment. Funny enough, Amerika & her bastard vassal states are all of a sudden so much more interested in working with General Haftar - considering he is emerging as a significant Libyan figure & Russian client. Amerika is also concerned that Russia is injecting herself into Afghanistan (again), as well as increasing her military cooperation with Pakistan. And just few days ago, in an unusual show of force, Russia flew her nuclear-capable bombers close to the Korean peninsula at roughly the same time Amerika & South Korea were conducting their annual military exercise - but ofcourse, you will never see this on CNN & BBC.

US has become the bully of the world, I wonder how many wars they can sustain at the same time. Trump just threatened military action in Venezuela over an internal political dispute. The US led coalition acting illegally in Syria are killing more civilians in Syria than ISIS and Al Nusra combined with indiscriminate bombings in Raqqa. US just increased its troop numbers in Afghanistan to 11,000 and they have been 'fighting' terrorism there for 16 years. They are overflying the Korean Peninsula creating tensions between South and North Korea and making it more difficult for the brothers to reconcile. They are threatening China in the South China sea leading to an arms race. They just finished the destruction and destabilisation of Libya after killing it's leader Gaddafi coming after killing over a million Iraqi's and losing over 5000 troops to remove Saddam Hussein who hitherto worked for them against Iran. They are helping Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen to install a pro West Govt there while cholera epidemic is killing thousands there. They have military bases in several countries including Niger Republic along our border. They see themselves as world policeman. They have succeeded so far because of a strong western media such as CNN, Fox, CNBC, Washington Post, New York Times etc and Hollywood who have consistently sold wars to American gullible citizens as good for the people on whose heads the bombs are being dropped. Now it's the turn of a resurgent and rising Russia with a strong leader Vladimir Putin who have succeeded in pulling his country out of the doldrums to a world power since collapse of the former Soviet Union. 15 Likes 5 Shares

Forget it! These two world powers carry other countries dey play Ludo. It is all for their own selfish interest they are fighting for. Without Russia,America will be flogging every country like children in school and without America Russia will convert every country to slave camp like Siberia and Ukraine. They should slug it out there and leave us out of their battle of interest and mineral resources. 17 Likes 1 Share |
