Kristen Welker of NBC News seemed to have a problem understanding why expelling Russian spies is good, and why Russians spying in our nation's capital is bad.

After already having answered in detail questions implying any action supportive of Ukraine and/or retaliatory towards Russia would "escalate" the war crimes Vladimir Putin is already committing, NBC News' Kristen Welker brought up this hairball breaking news.
"The U.S. has expelled twelve diplomats, twelve Russian diplomats. The Russian ambassador said just a short time ago that that move was a hostile step towards Russia," Welker said. "Can you give us the thinking behind the decision, and again, following up on some of the lines of questioning you've already gotten, could there be a backlash from this step? Does this escalate things?"
I love how the inference considering the dirty bombs Putin is already dropping on Ukrainians, his army taking control of Chernobyl, holding its staff hostage, and his missiles targeting civilian apartment buildings is that it would be WE who would be escalating by sanctioning him. WE are the ones who should be concerned about backlash from PUTIN?
