Russia And Britain Getting Testy

So Britain asked for extradition of the suspected killer of the "poisoned spy". Russia gave them a polite "fuck you", so Britain expelled 4 Russian diplomats. Now Russia has returned the favor.

However, their response is quite troubling:

Russia announced that it would also stop issuing visas to British officials and cease cooperation on counter-terrorism.

But Whitehall sources claimed cooperation with Moscow on terrorism issues was fairly limited, and revealed that Britain had told Russia privately earlier this week that it would not longer have contact with the FSB - the successor to the KGB.

This has absolutely nothing to do with counter-terrorism, so it makes me believe that the Russian government really did have a hand in the death of this man and they really aren't that reliable a partner for other areas of international relations.

Not a good way to "rebuild your empire" now is it Mr. Putin?
