    Russia arrests alleged CIA agent and U.S. ambassador

    So basically the Russian government has arrested an alleged CIA agent and is accusing the United States of spying on Russia and trying to convince Russians to defect to the United States. In addition, they have taken one of our diplomats into custody and are threatening to deport him from the country. How should the United States respond to these allegations and the arrest of our citizens?

    Tell them to stop being twats.

    nicely.

    We probably are spying on Russia. And Russia is probably spying on us.

    Just, be kind.

    He totally told Blair (I know...) who our spies in Russia were and the UK told Putin to distract everyone from Benghazi!

    How can Russian citizens defect to the US? They know this isn't the Cold War right? That's just called emigration.

    And why would they need spies to tell them this kind of thing when they have American movies and TV to show them that hey, if I live over there I won't get beaten up by skinheads on my way to the vodka mines every morning?

    I'm going to be totally honest. I would be very disapointed if we didn't have CIA spies all over Russia trying to get important or valuable Russians to defect or spy for us. Whether this specific case is real or not, I'd bet we have people doing exactly what this guy is being accused of right now. I just hope they do a better job next time...

    He probably was a spy. If that is the case its just business as normal nothing needs to be said.

    Also, he wasn't an ambassador.

    So he was being pre-emptive eh? I suppose now that you mention it. I could work on tying this to the White House. Although I wasn't previously inclined to consider that possibility.

    Reminds me of John Cleese in Rat Race introducing his lawyer as the man tragically born without a sense of humor.

    Well, stop crying about it. The US spies on Russia, Russia spies on the US.

    That's good, because you if just claim you were testing people when you're proven wrong on basic facts one more time it might stop being funny.

    if this is true then what do you think will come of it? my guess? nothing. while Russia has grown ever more nationalist and xenophobic most it not all of it is directed at the west AKA america. count me amazed that they only arrested them and didn't "disappear". but honestly the spy games did not end with the Berlin wall coming down, it was only forgotten.

    more OT, uh...nagotioate? I mean what else are they going to do? short of something that you would see in an 80's action movie

    Invasion. Bomb the hell out of whatever they call cities over there, and then send in the troops.

    Wait, they don't have oil over there? Well, what's the point then?
