4. "we suspend the work of our permanent mission to NATO,"

Whatever. The "mission's still there; no doubt it'll be a headache for someone, but Russia's a headache everywhere it is, and supposedly isn't. NATO'd also cut the number of Russian reps in half in response to what was apparently finally unacceptable ramping up of its constant espionage hostilities.

5. Putin and Trump are like identical twins emotionally and intellectually. They cannot

not commit crimes. They don't know how to get along with others.

In a just world they would both be imprisoned in the same cell and have to share a toilet.

But they are both sociopaths, yes.

Trump most likely disgusts Putin who would make sure Trump got a Russian cocktail before he shared a cell with him.

..."expulsion by NATO of eight members of the Russian mission. NATO says they were secretly working as intelligence officers."

Well, that's a good reason to expel them.
Does Putin do anything but infiltrate & spy on the good of this world just to destroy it?

Russia isn't part of NATO. They have some alliances and agreements, but so what.

"Russia's harsh reaction..." Hah hah hah! I'm surprised NATO had the balls and ovaries to kick them to the curb. They won't be missed.
