Putin expels 755 US staff and Trump’s response is his nuttiest yet
Vladimir Putin retaliated to new US sanctions imposed on Russia for interfering in last year’s presidential elections by expelling nearly 800 US staff.
And how did Donald Trump react? He thanked him. OF COURSE HE DID.
Q: Thoughts on Putin expelling US diplomats?

We can’t work out if Trump is being sarcastic or stupid. Actually, we can work it out.
Our diplomatic corps are eyes and ears and an essential part of US intelligence. Trump is a clear and present danger to national security. pic.twitter.com/Fr0LNSHhfK

Over to you, Garry Kasparov.
Incredible. If Russia sank an American Navy ship, Trump would thank Putin for saving the US money on payroll and ship maintenance. https://t.co/DhvSH1opJk
