The headline vs the story

The headline:
Wow! What is going on in Moscow to make the US Ambassador flee? Threats of violence? Assassination?
Nope, retirement:
The United States Ambassador to Russia will retire, the US Embassy in Russia announced Sunday:
U.S. Ambassador to the Russian Federation John J. Sullivan has concluded his tenure as U.S. envoy and departed Moscow today.
"Ambassador Sullivan was appointed in December 2019 and has served as Ambassador for almost three years. Following his departure, he will retire from a career in public service that has spanned four decades and five U.S. presidents, including service as the Deputy Secretary of State and in senior positions at the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Commerce. Elizabeth Rood will assume duties as Charge d’Affaires at U.S. Embassy Moscow until Ambassador Sullivan’s successor arrives.”

Here's the funny (?) thing: The "headline" is from the same source as the actual article.

From U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Russia:
"Elizabeth Rood assumed duties as the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in June 2022. She is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service with the rank of Minister Counselor.
"Before coming to Moscow, Ms. Rood served as Faculty Advisor at the U.S. Army War College. From 2017 to 2020, she was Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia. From 2014 to 2016, she served as Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan."
Earlier she served in the Army War College, Afghanistan and a bunch of other places I never hoida.

I don't know what you're complaining about, George. The website describes itself as America's #1 Alternative News Source.
This is alternative news. Presumably filled with alternative facts.
