Moscow school must survive US-Russia showdown

Before today, the last time I opened my 1991/1992 yearbook from the Anglo-American School of Moscow was 15 years ago when I changed houses. I searched for it again Friday morning under a stack of university stuff, after a frenetic 24 hours of activity between Russia and the West. Amid the flurry of activity -- President Barack Obama's announcement of sanctions and expelled diplomats, Trump's assertion that the US should "move on," and Putin's declaration that (despite the recommendation of his Foreign Minister) he will not retaliate in kind against US diplomats in Russia (yet) -- reports reached me in Rome that the Kremlin would allegedly take steps to shut down the school as retaliation against Obama's moves against Russia.
