I was curious about that yesterday, too. But, I took a couple minutes to search for coverage and found nothing other than pretty straight up reporting of it....doesn't seem as though anyone there lost their minds over it.
I couldn't really care much less about the call. Diplomacy takes lots of forms and requires a ton of words and actions that are unsupportable out of context.
I have a little trouble with Trump's apparent reluctance to call Putin/Russia out on actual serious crap like Syrian involvement, usurping Ukraine and completely unjustifiable annexation of Crimea. I don't know what that's about.
I do think the leak was abhorrent, if not criminal....someone should be fired immediately.
As to the assassination attempts....I don't know all the details. But, on the surface, I'm not sure how troubled I am. Probably indelicate do try it on British soil, but the target(s) were Russian traitors, weren't they? A nice, quiet accidental death wouldn't transmit their 'message' to other potential traitors. Maybe there's a lot more to the story, but spies that get caught have a short life-span, and that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
