Just for if they decide to remove this post below from the Embassy site?
The USA Embassy located in Moscow, Russia has post something on official website, that is totally off the wall and most likely could be construed in the normal world as being drunk and or on drugs at the time it was posted…

Even McFaul is confused about this official statement…
This is very unusual. I can’t ever remember a message like this (except one time when there was a demonstration outside of our residence at Spaso House, and we told people to avoid the area.) https://t.co/DNZDmRZ4PS

I really hope that this is not a sign of a desperate USA and its shenanigans?
