It’s not about what the Russians did or didn’t do.
It’s about what people on Twitter feel they could have potentially done.
RT:
The Russian Consulate in San Francisco, as well as two annex buildings in Washington and New York, will have to close by September 2, the US State Department announced in response to Moscow ordering the US to reduce its diplomatic personnel in Russia.
“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,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement on Thursday.
Stating that the measure comes “in the spirit of parity invoked by the Russians,” the US State Department said that now both countries will have three consulates each.
Russia will still have more diplomatic and consular annexes than the US, it added.
While saying it had “fully implemented” Moscow’s decision, Washington called Russia’s move “unwarranted and detrimental to the overall relationship between our countries.”
However, it said that “the US hopes that… we can avoid further retaliatory actions by both sides and move forward” with improving relations and cooperation between the two nations.
This isn’t what we voted for and it clearly isn’t what Donald Trump wanted to do.
So what exactly was the point of the election?
And now Trump supporters are just being kicked off the internet by a cabal of multinational corporations.
How can any of this end well?
Is backing the masses this far into a corner really the most logical thing to do?
Could it potentially backfire?
