Russia calls U.S. order an ‘UNPRECEDENTED act of AGGRESSION!’

Russia is pretty angry that the U.S. has warned them that they’re going to search the Russian consulate in San Francisco. They’re calling it an “unprecedented act of aggression.”

Here’s RT, which is basically Putin’s personal propaganda machine, on it:

Maria Zakharova calls it in an “invasion”!! Which is, technically, I guess, correct. Go whine to the Ukrainians about illegal invasions, Ivan.

Here’s a mainstream media view of the act:

Trump says the closing of their consulates is a retaliation for Putin kicking out our diplomats. And the Russkies say they reserve the right to retaliate to THIS act too…

And as an aside, people were joking yesterday about this fire at the consulate in San Francisco:

Now why would the Russkies need a fire in their fireplace when it’s over a hundred degrees in San Fran? Hmmmmm…. could it be that they’re DESTROYING EVIDENCE??!

The answer is yes.
