Actually a lot of them are Russians who work for the embassy. They will lose their jobs. The Foreign Service Officers will just be sent to other assignments.

Which will be very expensive to taxpayers

You should have thought about that before you supported the 24/7 news cycle. We'll find out on 9/30 how much this Mueller investigation is costing us. These numbers will add up. And I have a hunch the already ticked-off voters will not be pissed at the Republicans.

The cost of Mueller's investigation will be money well spent.

No, it was not. He repeated it three times.

Also, do you find diplomatic tensions hilarious?

DP. Oh shut up. You want it both ways? You want to accuse them without evidence of hacking our election, disenfranchise our POTUS and then get pissed when we don't have any diplomats in Russia? FFS? This is the cake you baked, Democrats. Oh - the stock market is down also. Short-sighted, pathetic Democrats created this and are crippled.

Most Americans do not own stock, so it is a barometer of how companies are doing, but not how Americans are doing. And yet you are blaming Trump on Democrats? Uh GOP voted for him in the Primaries and general elections. Own it.

If you truly believe at this point in time that there is no evidence of hacking, you are half baked. Don't put this on the Dems. You wanted the antithesis of Obama now you have it. It's your cake. Eat it.

I'm the PP you are respinding to. The Russians have hacked and are known for spying. Our IC expected this and should have protected our candidates. We got gamesmanship this election. And frankly your Admin infringed upon our civil rights and then couldn't even stop an expected hack. Talk about sucking.

Can you imagine if Obama had said this, even in jest? We'd still be finding pieces of the exploded heads of Republicans.

Would you rather he cry about it, instead? Trump knows that this was an impotent "retaliation" by Russia for the recent sanctions. It's actual better to play it off as we aren't all that concerned.

This explains so much. And you didn't comprehend the rest of my post properly but, since you don't "do economics" I'm done.

This should be done a long time ago. State department staff are enormous. You can easily cut 50% of them and DOS still will be functioning very well.

[Anonymous]

You all realize these people aren't fired from being DOS employees, right? They are just being expelled from Russia. Trump gets this wrong too.

They will just be reassigned to some other open position in the Agency.

[Anonymous]

Do we credit the backers of the sanctions bill for this at all? Seems this discussion entirely elides over this action as a response to the coordinated scare-monger campaign.

I would rather he condemn it forcefully. Words matter in diplomacy.

I bet you are one of those who thought Obama was weak.
