Russia, Russia, Russia

[Black Orchid]

Just calling it the way I see it Sprint. Do I think Putin could ever be trusted? NO!

Do I think Putin denies the blood on his hands and tries to hide his accountability behind a flimsy curtain? YES!

Do I think he should be held up and revered? NO!

Do I think he is probably the only person to lead Russia right at this moment? YES!

Why? Because he kills his opposition

The Turnbull government will expel two Russian officials from Australia, joining more than a dozen British allies in a global response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter.

The nerve agent attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Britain has deepened the rift between the Russian government and western powers, with the Trump administration on Monday night announcing the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats and intelligence officers.

The United States expelled 48 officials from the Russian embassy in Washington and 12 from Russia's permanent mission to the United Nations in New York, and ordered the closure of the consulate in Seattle. Canada and many European Union countries have joined the action.

"Two Russian diplomats identified as undeclared intelligence officers will be expelled by the Australian government for actions inconsistent with their status, pursuant to the Vienna Conventions. The two officials will be directed to depart Australia within seven days," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in a statement.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Australia is standing in solidarity with the United Kingdom and its allies after banishing two Russian spies back to Moscow.

Australia is set to expel the "undeclared intelligence officers" along with the 21 countries who have sent 130 diplomats back to Russia in what the UK has declared the largest collective action in history.

"We are standing in solidarity with the United Kingdom that we will not tolerate this type of reckless undermining of international law, this reckless assault on the sovereignty of nations," Mr Turnbull said in Canberra this afternoon.
