Thursday San Franciscos Russian Diplomats kept to themselves after an order from president obama for 35 consulate members to leave the country and take their families with them. No comment. The orders are a direct reponse to obama believing russian operatives hacked the u. S. President ial election. But some members of the Russian Community arent convinced. Im not sure what the truth is. One side says one thin the other side says another so its up to the person to make up their own mind. Olga chervykova, russian tech reporter im not sure whats happening behind the scenes i need proof like a scientist i need facts i dont need emotions. Instead they fear this may be the beginning of many more sanctions i mean this is like sanctions its not good i remember people struggling they dont have enough food i remember those times when i didnt have enough food and i wore the same clothes it wasnt nice and i dont want to repeat that for anyone. I just hope everything, you know, calms down. And hope what is left of the relationship between the two nations doesnt deteriorate further.

The president said thats not all, promising we will continue to take a variety of actions at a time and place of our choosing, some of which will not be publicized. Reaction among republicans on capitol hill was mostly positive. This is sending a message that we will not be pushed around by a country thats basically a gas can in europe wth an economy roughly the size of italy. Donald trump has dismissed the accusations against russia and its leaders. And expressed doubt about the U S Intelligence implicating them in the hack, today he indicated the whole thing is confusing to him. I think we ought to get on with our lives.
