By the way, there's further evidence for my assumption that the main reason why those countries are expelling russian diplomats is because they feel pressured to, not because they really really want to get rid of russian diplomats:
As mentioned in the OP, Germany is expelling four russian diplomats.
But what's not so well-known is that the german government has already ruled that russia may simply send four others in exchange. A quite clever move: By joining in on the "expelling russian diplomats"-trend, they are not upsetting Washington; the NATO war-mongers can proudly claim that yet another country has decided to expell russian diplomats.
But at the very same time, by allowing that these diplomats will simply be exchanged with four others, they ensure that this is mainly just a PR stunt, and are reducing the unnecessary additional tension with russia to a minimum.
