Summary: The US has expelled 60 Russian diplomats as of Monday/today. They are joining other countries such as Ukraine, Australia, the UK,Canada, and those of the EU. This is occurring because of a recent alleged nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter. Sergei Skripal was a former Russian spy who exposed over 300 KGB spies to Western intelligence agencies. Many believe that this is a message to other traitors to the Russian intelligence agencies that no matter where they are, they can be found and attacked/killed.
Analysis: This is the most Russian diplomats expelled since the Cold War began and took place. This is also very terrifying because there is still no solid proof behind this murder attempt, but the evidence on hand points to Russia's involvement. I agree with this because it looks a little too suspicious to be a random attack. A former Russian spy that blew the cover of over 300 Russian spies gets attacked by a Soviet Union developed chemical agent? That seriously isn't related or anything to Russia. (COUGH). My sympathies to Sergei Skripal and his daughter and hope that they recover.
