BBC are such hypocrites - @10pm news bbc russian correspondant said Russian tv flippantly portraying the evictions just like the eurovision results ... well, that is also how the bbc took great glee in presenting them too.
BBC also suggested that absence of Trump tweet's suggest he does not back the evictions - division in the ranks/media ?
and, that EU response is very much an obligated joint foreign policy response, as opposed to a free vote decision by the component nations (the other nations will put this IOU ticket in the bank for the brexit negotiations)

Given that they want unified responses in the first place and are keen for the UK to carry on with defence/security co-operation I'm not sure this has much to do with Brexit or owing them etc... likewise the UK will carry on defending Eastern European nations as part of its NATO commitment.

I found this hard to read can you try again please.
nice to see a coordinated response from other nations. I think it might of given the Russian government a surprise. I listened to the first 15 mins or so of that youtube video from #970, doesn't seem to be anything new, just stuff already in the public domain and here say.
The coordinated response does several things:
* It sends a message to Putin that the western allies are still coordinated and supporting each other. I suspect with Trump and Brexit he had gambled on there being more division.
* It dismantles a large part of the Russian spy network. Leaders of the SVR will be quite angry about that and will probably be asking Putin whether the poisoning of one man was worth the impact if has had.
* Being a 'diplomat' in the west is probably a nice job. They won't be happy being sent back to Russia and with some of them being fairly influential they may collectively put pressure on Putin when he didn't expect it.
No doubt Russia will also expel a similar number of western 'diplomats'.

I'm sure he will, I also read that the US had closed Russia Seattle consolate, which was suspiciously close to boeing and a US Naval base.

I did it right then.
I would still like to know what percentage of diplomats this represents - it is the obvious question that none of the media could answer
an old telelgraph article suggested worldwide we had 1400 (most did not speak target country language - the articel raison d'etre) -
so if they had a similar number you're heading to 10%... but maybe there are multiple levels of diplomat and even the UK total is larger.

similarly - it was nothing new - I looked at some of the guys other videos too,to try(jury's out) and establish credibility

Why ?
Because it's a massive tragedy and yet nothing here.

Nothing to do with this thread though? Nothing to stop you creating a thread as well. People sadly die in fires all around the world every day.
This thread is about the nerve agent poisoning in Salisbury and the consequences. If you want a thread on the appalling tragedy of the fire in Russia, and have comments to make, I suggest you start one.
Yes I know it is, but I think it says a lot about the current feelings to Russia as to the fact there is no thread, if it was America I bet there would be one, I chose this thread because it goes along with the narrative.
Kind of confirms it really right there.
So... you can't be bothered to make a thread, yet your think it's wrong nobody else can be bothered to make a thread?

I think the fact that you haven't started a thread says more about you rather than the rest of the forum.
