Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the recent closure and searches of Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States.

Now, I am an "artist". I appreciate the controversial and the edgy in most arts. But I hate it when crap is being planned for huge sums of taxpayers cash — crap that is designed to destroy vistas that are not perfect mind you, but there is no point in furthering the damage with deliberate artistic mediocrity...
