If there ever were swamp dwellers, they'd be some of the landlords.

They want even stronger sanctions on Russia.

I guess these asshats haven't learned their lesson yet.

Putin won't expel anyone.  What a tough guy.  He's bowing down to Obama's BBCuck!  Hilarious!

[SaintAnger]

President Obama rarely went to his Intel briefings.

So Obama = Trump?

STUNNING Move by Putin

STUNNING Move by Putin By S. Noble - December 30, 2016

Putin refuses “to sink to the level of this irresponsible “kitchen” diplomacy.”

In a stunning move, the Russian President Vladimir Putin will not retaliate against Obama’s sanctions. They took the high road. Russia, they said, refuses “to sink to the level of this irresponsible “kitchen” diplomacy.”

The cagey President got all his licks in yesterday through his foreign minister and spokesman who talked of Obama’s “paranoia”.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that he would recommend an equivalent response to Obama’s retaliation for unproven allegations of hacking. The Russian spokesman Peskov said that the Russians would mirror the response and “make Washington officials feel very uncomfortable as well”.

This morning, the Russian President took the road Obama never takes – the high road!. A Kremlin statement said that Russia will not expel any Americans in retaliation to U.S. moves.

The only thing that could make Obama look more irrelevant than calling him a lame duck as the Russians did yesterday is to ignore his 11th hour attack.

In the Kremlin’s statement Putin said that Russia won’t cause problems to U.S. diplomats or deport anyone, adding that Russia has the right to respond in tit-for-tat manner, but it will not engage in irresponsible diplomacy.

The punchline was striking. “It’s a pity that the current U.S. administration is finishing their work in such a manner”, adding that Russia refuses “to sink to the level of this irresponsible “kitchen” diplomacy.”

Putin ended by congratulating U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and the American people on the New Year and invited the children of U.S. diplomats to a holiday celebration at the Kremlin.

With one statement, Obama lost the diplomatic war to Putin

No he should not.     He needs to stay off my island and go back to his hometown of Chicago.

No he should not.     He needs to stay off my island and go back to his hometown of MOOMBASAA, kENYA.

you're the idiot....Saint Anger is right..it is fake news in that it was orchestrated by Putin and his lackey, Lavrov, ...they choreographed that whole thing but you're so anti-Obama you can't see it....you've actually become dumber than Soul Crusher

They choreographed maturity, world class diplomacy and positive spirit  

American diplomats can stay, Putin wished you all happy new year and invited your kids to party.

[andreisdaman]

They orchestrated maturity and positive spirit 

yes to make themselves look magnanimous you stupid idiot...do you actually think a lackey of Putin is going to come out AHEAD of Putin and contradict him???.......Putin calls the shots

President is higher in hierarchy than foreign minister so of course he makes the final decision.
But I doubt Putin would know every foreign diplomat in Russia or their positions. Naturally it's someone else preparing the suggestion for him.

[bike nut]

Obama's "response to hacking".

Too funny.

The incompetent clown cuts off internet access to Assange in Ecuador in October and the next day a group of school kids take the entire U.S. internet backbone down.

Two months later and Obama still has no clue what happened or who was responsible.

Here are a few clues Barry; Hillary lost because she leads a lying, thieving criminal organization and represented a continuation of your failed policies

Amazing how you guys support a communist regime just because your man child leader does.  What a bunch of traitor fucking cucks!

I can't understand that either.

How can anyone believe they are more patriotic by backing the leader of Russia over our own President and Intelligence agencies.

[Kazan]

I can't understand that either.

I don't think it is backing Putin, it is simply not believing what .gov is trying to sell. If this is such a big deal, so much that diplomat's become PNG's, the American people need to see the proof, simple

How do you equate disagreeing with Obama's petulant, childish temper tantrum he is throwing with backing the leader of Russia?

You're the same person who said you can't support Trump as POTUS, but expect blind loyalty to Obama. Anyone with half a brain can see that obama's final actions as POTUS are meant to cause issues for Republicans and the incoming Trump administration. He has never put the good of the country above his own personal agenda.

you are arguing with a retard.

let it be; his political views are determined by which way the wind is blowing

[Las Vegas]

Yeah, but imo that's exactly as it's meant... Howie said "how can you believe Russia over our own Intelligence and President" (similar)

That's it, right there.  Everyone is supposed to stop thinking right after arriving at that point.

Problem is, we're dealing with known liars.  It puts us in quite a spot.

[Yamcha]

Trump is getting destroyed by SJWs on social media for this tweet:

[Primemuscle]

This has nothing to do with National Security otherwise he would have taken some kind of action years ago and not 22 days before he gets evicted.

The left..including Obama has never accepted the results of the outcome of this election because he knew  putting Clinton in would have been an extension of his presidency but instead he/her got rejected because people didn't want a repeat of the last eight years. They've blamed everyone from Comey, to Huma Abadine and as one last ditch effort, the Russians. Please, their ego's can't accept this.

Just to add, his "legacy" is fucked as if he ever had one.

The Russian hacking in question didn't happen "years ago" it happened this year. It's difficult to take action against the Russians before they've supposedly committed the offense.

Russian hacking was suspected months before the election, so this is hardly a last ditch effort. Besides that, even if there is absolute proof the Russians hacked the DNC at this point discovering it would not change the anything, unless of course it could be proved that Trump was in collusion with Russia (Putin).
