Considering this is a response to being publicly outed so hard your party lost the election, I'd say kicking out the diplomats is just as adolescent. |
How is it adolescent if the diplomats had direct involvement in the cyber-attacks. You cannot do anything with anyone foreign diplomats than kick them out of the country. You cannot try them in court or make any direct action against them. In other words, what exactly do you do when foreign diplomats do things that are damaging to your country. You kick them out. You shut down their embassy and you remove their ability to enter the country.
You make this seem like some type of revenge from the President for Russian involvement in getting Trump Elected. Instead this should be the action any President does when a foreign power attack the US and attempt to influence our government. Make no mistake that Russian is not doing this out of the kindness for Trump supporters.
Just leaving diplomats in the country after they were shone to be in collusion to cyber-attacks makes us look like complete idiots. What do you think the Russians would do if the shoe was on the other foot.
