Putin: We can reduce the US diplomatic mission even more

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow could further reduce the staff of the American diplomatic mission by 155 people. He announced this at a press conference of the BRICS summit in Xiamen, China.

Putin explained that 455 of 155 Russian diplomats in the United States work at the UN.

Strictly speaking, they are not diplomats accredited by the State Department.

- said the president.

If we talk about full parity, then it [should] not be 455 US diplomats in Moscow, but minus [more] 155

- concluded Putin.

He also said that he instructed the Russian Foreign Ministry through the court to challenge the decision of Washington, which banned Moscow from using consulates and trade missions. According to Putin, this violates Russia's property rights.

Quite weak! We were whipped on the cheeks, and we are running to court !! You need to do absolutely mirror or even more cool - then they may understand something !! I would love to look at the faces of the Americans if they were put out of Spasso House, and then they would search all the premises by the FSB!

You are doing verbiage. Comparing the state with a gopnik is a figurative metaphor reflecting the inner content of the United States. And if you answer a gopnik on the street in his own style. for example, take a knife, and even cripple him, then you will be jailed for exceeding self-defense measures.

That's right, let's see what the court says. If he says that the Americans are right, then we are acting in the same way. And if he says that they are wrong? Indeed, the court will say that they are wrong? The situation is stalemate for the court ...

[Simple russian]

Absolutely no stalemate. In the USA, a case-law will be created. They will set a precedent and say that it should be so. And what violates international law is that the problems of international law and the “sheriff” do not care about peace.

[tamnun]

So the United States will reduce - the principle of mirroring.
Until there is an ambassador and a secretary in each embassy.

[Aleks713]

The world geopolitical space is multidimensional. And the responses to certain anti-Russian actions are not just asymmetric, but are applied in other "dimensions." For example, Syria - a swift (and unexpectedly effective, to the sadness of the amers and their allies) breakthrough to Deir zz-Zor with the threat of a ferry to the eastern bank of the Euphrates in the near future - this is also a "response" against the United States. In the future, the Kurds and Americans will find themselves in an enclave, cut off from the exit to Jordan, Saud. Arabia and the Persian Gulf ... You can do something else - for example, a joint Russian-Chinese "scientific" (read military) base not far from Alaska - on the Commander Islands or Wrangel Island - under the pretext of "ensuring the safety of navigation" in the north of the Pacific and on the Northern Sea Route ...

[Thrall]

And the taken rate of reduction of employees of the State Department in Russia pleases.
In Belarus, however, there is a different trend. After the reduction in 2008 of the diplomatic mission in Minsk from 35 to 5 people and the recall of ambassadors, in 2014 the Belarusian side allowed to increase the staff of the US Embassy from five to six people.In Russia, the population is 15 times more than ours. 6x15 = 90.
It turns out that 100 American diplomats are enough for Russia.

Yes Yes. weighed to exchange the Crimea for Ukraine with Belarus. it is weighed to screw up our auto industry and fill the country with imported cars. weighed that half of the country does not have a stable job, and the other half sits on the outbidding of Chinese consumer goods. everything is so very weighed and balanced up to a milligram. everything is so weird and wonderful. we probably live in paradise.

[Muvka]

I understand correctly that you believe that Crimea was before the Maidan?

[34 region]

10.31. Movka! Crimea was there until 91. But how can we explain that we have surrendered the outskirts? After all, there are Slavs, fellow believers! And suddenly so much hatred! Hatred with Muslims was explained by different faiths. And then how to explain?

[Lelek]

Quote: Region 34

And then how to explain

What-what? The stump is clear with the passivity of Ukrainians, the incompleteness of their work by the bodies of the KGB of the USSR, the venality and filthiness of the leadership of the republic for at least a century, the depravity of the former Ukraine with handouts and preferences from the Russian Federation. Yes, what to smear, all this has been said many times. I'm tired of it.

[34 region]

12.05. Lelyok! Passivity of Ukrainians ?! They rushed passively to the Maidan !? I agree with the KGB. The KGB either did not complete it, or they sold out! Corruption and filthiness? Well, Russia is not far from them! Russia, too, was not sickly on sale! Or maybe with the outskirts of the United States, there were simply more buns than from Russia? If you compare the buns of Russia and the United States? Which is more tempting?

[Lelek]

Quote: Region 34

If you compare the buns of Russia and the United States? Which is more tempting?

The question, of course, is an interesting one ... But, wanting to fill their belly to capacity today, people who are friends with their heads think about tomorrow. Having eaten buns from Victoria Nuland, Ukrainians today have an external debt for $ 60 lard, the loss of Donbass coal, insoluble gas problems with the Russian Federation (with the deprivation of transit in 2019), a gradual loss of trust both in "Europe" and overseas, loss of railway transit cargo, and most importantly - the loss of sovereignty and transformation into an openly fascist entity and a dump of radioactive waste. And all this for the beauty of jumping on the Maidan and with the tacit, passive consent of the plebs. Such is the oil painting.

[papas-57]

`` weighed down to screw up our auto industry. '' You cannot screw up what is not. Our '' cars '' are bought from the inability to buy a normal car;

[bolkodav68]

I agree to sadly realize that we are a gas station only with a nuclear bomb. but for some reason we can squeeze out Ukraine with a nuclear bomb, I think that Belarus is next in line. Yes, in principle, we ourselves once gave Belarus and Ukraine to the West to be torn apart. I don't think you should blame them. they themselves betrayed them and now we call them traitors.

[34 region]

10.59. Wolfhound! What's the use of a nuclear bomb? There were heaps of nuclear warheads in the USSR! And where is the USSR now? They pinned down the Russian athletes, will nuclear weapons settle the dispute? Here are diplomats butting. Will nuclear weapons help them in an argument?

[Topotun]

Forgive me, but the trouble is that for our athletes often such a concept as the honor of a country is very conditional. Remember Arshavinskoe, we did not promise you anything ... And many of the athletes will prefer to compete under the IOC flag, but go to the competition. Not to support the country. It's nothing personal - it's business. Therefore, nuclear weapons may not be considered. Soviet sport was based on a different idea ...
So this is not a criterion. What would the athletes say if the government took a hard line - are you so? We will not go to you! What do you propose to do in such a situation? To sue? So who judges? Fight?

[34 region]

12.13. Stompotun! I have nothing to argue with this answer. About ideas and sports. I meant that nuclear weapons are far from the standard in the dispute. Here the athletes were pressed. Bomb with nuclear warheads? It's like in military affairs. There is an expensive tank (nuclear weapons), there is an anti-tank gun (different sanctions). Which is cheaper and more efficient? Does it make sense to have an expensive tank (nuclear weapon) if an anti-tank ditch is dug (Ukraine)? There is an anti-tank grenade launcher in the form of sanctions, NGOs, non-systemic opposition ... We are shouting here: We have nuclear weapons! Let's dust them all! Whoever comes to us with weapons will die from weapons !!! Those who came to Russia with weapons were successfully buried. But then we invited us with money. Who of those who came to us with money died from money? If the United States attacked the USSR with an army, I would have gotten the most of it! And the USA came to the USSR with money! What did the USA get? And what did the USSR have? Suing? The result of the trial is visible in Saddam and Gaddafi.

[Topotun]

Are we shouting that we will erase everyone to dust? By the way, Russia's policy is the most restrained. Including according to the statements of the leaders of the country. Have you ever heard threats against other countries from VVP? Honestly, his "our partners" just really do not like many on the forum (Yes, and me too, well, they are not our partners). But also not having the Armed Forces capable of repelling aggression is the way to the same Gaddafi .... In fact, now there is a war of worldviews - consumer society against Russia (as long as we retain the vestiges of the imperial / Soviet mentality. When the interests of the country and society prevailed over the interests of an individual) For an American to fight in complete encirclement, knowing that there will be no help. Knowing that this fight may mean nothing in the war is nonsense. In general, this is a confrontation between mentalities. And to be honest, I'm not sure that it will go on without a hot phase.

[34 region]

16.29. Stompotun! We shout that we will erase to dust in case of military intervention. But we cannot oppose anything against economic, political pressure. Even with nuclear weapons. They have already chopped off the outskirts from us. Tatarstan and Siberia are next. The outskirts were recaptured without an invading army at all !!! If the consumer society is called an army, then the army of consumers defeats the army of the interests of society. Therefore, the thesis that Russia is fighting against an army of consumers is incorrect. We are trying hard to join this army. There is no opposition of mentalities at the highest level. Against. Above are the marshals of the army of consumption (this can be seen from the consumed in the Forbes lists). And the war goes on without a hot phase. Purely at the level of psychology. Although the hot phase is more of a way to utilize the * extra * population. Here's a look from London.

[Topotun]

Alas, there are moments in your statement that are difficult to dispute, we didn’t win an idiological war. If earlier the country held the core in the form of idiology, after the collapse of the USSR, everyone rushed to destroy this core. But in its place what kind of rubbish does not climb ... Here you are right - alas. And yet, personally, I have the hope that we will build a new pivot. Here is a view from Russia!
Good luck to you. Thanks for the discussion.

Yesterday, 03.09.2017, the US Ambassador arrived at the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The guards were warned about this in advance. Two cars were launched into the reserve, the ambassador arrived safely at the Khlebny House and parked at the service entrance.
The unsuspecting ambassador opened the service entrance doors and introduced himself in all his glory to the guard at the entrance. It is not known whether the guard had any personal dislike for the United States or for the ambassador of this state in particular, but he knew that the ambassador would be at the museum.
So, as soon as the person in the position of the US ambassador tried to penetrate further through the service entrance, the guard stopped him with a question:
- Who are you and where?
- I am the US Ambassador, such and such, such and such.
To which the guard opened a book with a list of people allowed to pass through the service entrance, ran his finger for a long time, did not find the ambassador there and said:
- You are not on the lists, sorry, go around the building and enter like all visitors.
The not salty ambassador turned around and walked like everyone else ...
But according to the instructions ...

It just so happened historically that US diplomatic missions in Russia have practically no property of their own - everything is on lease. Do you propose to select the embassy building and the ambassador's residence? So they will answer it in the same way! So we have to invent other measures. In addition, they - so far - have banned the use of property, but - so far - they are not alienating it, not confiscating it. They have a right to that. And this, in general, does not contradict the traditions of diplomacy. And so far, no one has forbidden to sell this property. Moreover, they might not have prohibited the use, for example, of the same dacha in the United States - the new rules on the possible movements of diplomats simply did not allow them to travel to this dacha - it’s all about a dozen kilometers away from the embassy complex there, only practically to housing - and that's it! Our rules are approximately the same. Any travel by diplomats around the country must be coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Regarding the building of the trade mission - this building was officially included in the list of Russian diplomatic buildings in the United States that enjoy immunity, but was used by Russia not for diplomatic purposes, but for the operation of the trade mission. Here, Russia somewhat "pricked" the United States - the diplomatic immunity of the building was used by those who, according to their status, were not entitled to this immunity. The employees of the trade mission are not diplomatic personnel, but only the head of the trade mission and his deputies. The Americans were hooked on this, but they themselves violated all the rules of diplomacy - first it was necessary to change the list of "diplomatic" buildings approved and agreed upon by the parties, which was not done. We cannot answer in a similar way - we do not have similar buildings. So, we must answer differently, asymmetrically!

The boss cannot afford to be guided by emotions, such as pleasure or gloating, and feelings, such as a sense of justice.

And yet, yes, the leader must weigh the risks arising as a result of his decisions and possibly sue, and not wave his fists, and perhaps even run away. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU ARE NOT JUST A BAD LEADER, YOU ARE A SCHOOL.

Moreover, there are always statements from the United States that visas will be issued exclusively in Moscow. What, then, will the diplomats of the consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekatirenburg and Vladivostok do? In addition to espionage and "nurturing" the Americans, there is nothing else in these regions ... But I don't think there are too many Americans there - there are many more of ours in the United States. This means that only espionage remains. We definitely don't need this - it means that the reduction of American diplomats by another one and a half hundred will be just right!

This is quite understandable - the ardent Russophiles in the United States did not rush. But many of them do not cease to be citizens of Russia from this and, therefore, they still need consular support.

which they were deprived of through the efforts of YUS. The American policy may well be perceived as aimed at confrontation until complete victory. Like France in the late 60s of the last century. There are apparently no prospects for improving Russian-American relations. I hope for the prospects for improving relations between the Russian Federation and what will remain on the territory of the YUS. Therefore, the reaction of other countries is important, both having completely surrendered their sovereignty to the YUS and retained to varying degrees. Russia's emphasized observance of even the customs of international relations against the background of the main bully in the saloon is now fully justified.

In this case, apparently, the GDP and the Foreign Ministry have a good margin of safety. In addition, we do not have all the information that VVP and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have. Next, going to court is already a political step, a win-win. In any event, no court will approve the US action. This will be a publicly exposing step, disarming them in front of the whole world. Along with the diplomatic war, there is a political struggle, which will further aggravate the position of the "hegemons". And after the court's decision, it will be possible to publicly submit the question of AI to the session of Gen. UN Assembly. And the remnants of the diplomats can be expelled at any most suitable moment. The process of stratification is already underway and is gaining momentum in the world. BRICS added energy to this by making very painful decisions for ai decision. Therefore, from now on, the United States will have to start fighting the BRICS as well. And this is all against the background of all that is happening in the United States itself, in the DPRK, in Syria, in Egypt (quite recently, after all, the Egyptian President turned his "shafts" towards the United States, and suddenly, urgently wanted to meet with GDP), Venezuela, Guatemala, Brazil, the Middle East (Turkey, Iran, Iraq). A "mess" began in the EU. Thinking leaders of many countries see the detrimental effect of AI, including for their states. Thus, filing a lawsuit is a very effective step by the Russian Federation, the benefits of which will be much more than just the expulsion of diplomats.

The United States agreed with Russia to lease Spaso House until 2053, at a price at the time of signing (1985) - 72 rubles a year. Taking into account the denomination and the growth of the dollar exchange rate, it turns out a little more than $ 500 per year. And the Americans refuse to revise the payment, since the agreement does not contain a clause on changing the ruble exchange rate. Here's a "ce la vie".
