In the last 48 hours, two American ambassador's have been expelled from foreign lands. When minute and powerless "Bolivia" takes such an action, it is a sure sign that the U.S. is no longer a vaunted superpower. I would say that these two actions are just part of Putin's new plan to form a Russian sphere of influence around the U.S.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela said Thursday that he was expelling the American ambassador, Patrick Duddy, giving him 72 hours to leave the country. Mr. Chávez took this step after he said his government had discovered an American-supported plot by military officers to topple him.
He also recalled his ambassador to Washington, Bernardo Álvarez, and explained his decision by expressing solidarity with Bolivia’s embattled president, Evo Morales, who on Wednesday expelled the American ambassador there, Philip S. Goldberg, accusing him of supporting rebellious groups in eastern Bolivia. The State Department responded by saying it was declaring Bolivia’s ambassador to Washington persona non grata.
