Putin Outplays “Angry and Shallow-Brained” Obama ….. Again

What a mess Obama has made on the world stage. There are not enough media lapdogs and sycophants to following behind to clean up the after Obama the circus elephant.

Blaming Russia for the election rout in November is the very definition of fake news. The indisputable fact is the Democrats were routed because of Obama’s numerous and catastrophic failures both foreign and domestic.

RUSSIANS MOCK ‘POLITICAL CORPSE’

Putin Will Not Expel US Diplomats in Retaliation for 35 Banished Russian Agents – Prefers to Wait for Trump
By: David Israel, Jewish Press, December 30th, 2016

After an announcement by Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that Russia on Friday declared 35 US diplomats persona non grata – 31 embassy personnel in Moscow and four in the St. Petersburg consulate, President Putin decided to let them stay, because, he stated, he prefers to just wait for January 20, when President Trump will take over. This negated Putin’s foreign minister, who stated earlier: “We, of course, cannot leave unanswered insults of this kind – reciprocity is the law of diplomacy and foreign relations.”

The Russian initial announcement followed President Obama’s expelling 35 Russian intelligence agents and sanctioning five Russian entities and four individuals for the cyber attack on the DNC and on individual Democratic Party officials during the 2016 presidential campaign.

This is the earlier version of our story.

“The outgoing US administration of Barack Obama are accusing Russia of every kind of mortal sin,” Lavrov said, suggesting that the White House is “trying to blame us for the failure of its foreign policy initiatives, among other thing. [Obama] has put forward additional accusations without any grounds whatsoever that the Russian state was behind attempts to meddle in the US election campaign, which led to the defeat of the Democratic candidate.”

“Yesterday, the US administration, without providing any facts or evidence, announced a new wave of sanctions against the Russian Federation,” Lavrov continued, noting that “Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), some other Russian agencies and individuals were sanctioned. The sanctions also covered our diplomats. Thirty-five people working in Washington and San Francisco have to leave the US before the end of the day January 1st.”

“Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election,” President Obama announced on Thursday. “These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior.”

“I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama stated. “Using this new authority, I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is designating two Russian individuals for using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information.”
