Relationships are hard… The compromising, bickering, sleepless nights, attempted assassinations… Yes, the fallout from a particularly tough break-up can be catastrophic, and Russia and the West are no exception. The two have always suffered from what many would label a “fickle” relationship at best, but could the recent expulsions of over 150 Russian diplomats from 27 different countries be a new low? The alleged poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter on UK turf has provoked quite the response from the UK and its allies, and although seeing friends supporting each other during complicated relationship troubles is heartwarming, we should probably take a neutral stance until we have personally examined the “facts”. To help you decide which team you’re on, we’ve compiled a list of headlines documenting the break-up so far!
