Yep, Russia says THAT THE U.S. must cut it's consulate staff in Russia by 755 people. At around $4,000 per month that's over 4 million when including travel, expenses, office space, bonuses and incidentals.
No Russians will become unemployed and they can keep their insurance, unless they return to the U.S. [:D][:D]

Everything as far as "government" staff is bloated.
Cut back to the people who actually do the work.
If I do bad things and you punish me I punish you back LOL
As noted good that is 755 too many damn people getting paid to do nothing anyway

I wonder how many of those are Obama holdovers that were likely not advancing the president's agenda anyways. Sounds like a Win-Win
You forgot the Green font. Let's be clear, Putin is no one's friend.
I didn't forget the green font. The "sanctions" put against Russia was the absolute, totally A***** move I've ever seen the U.S. make with overwhelming votes.
It accomplished NOTHING. It did however put a Russia U.S. war one step closer, just what we need !!! Although LOTS of money will be spent on "war mongering" just what the industrial/military complex is most happy with..
If congress was a herd of cattle they'd have run through two barbed wire fences in a stampede to see who was the MOST anti-Russian.
When it comes to taking sides, I have always been pretty selfish and stay here close to home.[;)]

The 755 people are the staffers from our four consulates. When you figure that's < 200 per consulate, that doesn't seem to be wasteful. Consulates have diplomats & translators, sure, but also CIA stations, armed service members, as well as large staffs to issue visas to Russians & help local Americans who are having problems. All of this is just going to hurt working people in both countries, that's all.

Throwing the Russians off of the 2 properties they own in the US for interfering with our elections was a juvenile Obama stunt. Besides, no one has yet found evidence that the Russians did so. Trump had the chance to invite the Russians back, making Obama look petty while, at the same time, making himself look good; but, no, he had to prove that there really is a 12 year old boy inside the body of a 70 year old man.

Not a tough choice for me when considering the likes of Hildabeast and Obama. Bank on it.
Took a while [:D][:D]
