That's a whole 'nother conspiracy, but in that one the deep state scores a big loss in Syria because russia isn't part of that deep state, and Russia wins here.
So, while possible, I'll go with unlikely.

UK prosecutes people for 'dirty looks' (intimidating facial expressions), and catcalling. And I think I saw a new twist on that line of BS not too long ago along the lines of bullying.
So nice try.
What world do you live in?
can you explain why your President has said nothing about the diplomatic expulsions?

Fair enough for what?
He hasn't challenged Russian sanctions with veto.
Your argument is kinda moot.
Yes. He was forced he got spanked. If he had vetoed he would have been humiliated within a few days when republicans overload his veto.
Fair enough?
Care to cite the specific sanction resolution you are referencing?

What is Common Assault?
Under Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act the offence will be committed when a person either assaults another person or commits a battery.
A battery is classified as the application of unlawful force. This could be anything from a push or slap.
An assault is when the one person makes the other fear that immediate force will be used against them. This could be anything from shaking a fist or running a finger across a throat. No force needs to be applied in order for it to be an assault.
Will there be a prison sentence?
Common assault carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison and/or a fine.
If someone is being charged for the first time it is unlikely that they will go to prison with a fine the usual outcome. If the offender has previous convictions or if they were proven to have had a particular motivation for the attack, specifically if it is racially motivated this could however lead to a prison sentence.
Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
What is Actual Bodily Harm?
Assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH) is a criminal offence which is governed by Section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act.
In this case the assault or battery needs to cause harm to the person’s body. The harm is not necessarily serious but it would need to be more than a shove which would remain common assault. Harm such as bruises, scratches and bite marks is sufficient.
What needs to be remembered when dealing with ABH is that there only needs to be intention to apply unlawful force not the intention to cause actual bodily harm. If someone pushes another he will have intended to apply unlawful force. If the person who was pushed then bangs his head this will be charged under Section 47 even if the defendant did not intend the victim to hurt their head.
Will there be a prison sentence?
ABH carries a maximum sentence of five years.
As with common assault, if someone is being charged for the first time it is unlikely that they will go to prison with a fine the usual outcome. Again, if the offender has previous convictions or if they were proven to have had a particular motivation for the attack, specifically if it is racially motivated this could however lead to a prison sentence.
Well, we're four pages in and not one person has explained why Donald Trump has not uttered one single word about the diplomatic expulsions.

I'll challenge you.
Can you show us the response from every leader that has expelled diplomats?

I said it several times.
This isn't something the president tweets about

Why is this particular subject the only one he does not tweet about?
