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.”

With one statement, Obama lost the diplomatic war to Putin

“kitchen” diplomacy.” ?
More like Middle School playground diplomacy..............
Wow! Bet they didn’t see this coming.
OUCH!
Stick in the knife and TWIST it.
Way to go Putin.
And Happy New Year to you, too.
Pooty Poot wreaks a cunning stunt on the Pussy Of The US.
“Wow! Bet they didn’t see this coming.”
Bet they don’t care.
Ping
Putin and Trump are clearing the ring of the lightweights in preparation for the main event.
Actually, BRILLIANT move by Putin and Russia. It goes to show they know what obama is all about.
They could not have humiliated him more.
That one is right out of PEOTUS playbook. I’d bet they talked. They didn’t have to, though. The Obama move was so JV and anybody could see a way around it. Leaving Obama to look like a petulant, irresponsible child.
When they go low, we go high, or something like that.
If Putin had bitch-slapped Obama any harder Obama’s tampon would have fallen out.
The homosexual Muslim was hopelessly outmaneuvered by Putin.
What is driving Barry to be so irresponsible? Cover up for the real crimes laid out the WikiLeaks e-mails, and make trouble for President Trump - yes.
But there has to be more behind Hussein's tantrum.
I believe Bathhouse Barry knows that Putin has the goods on him, and he is horrified that Moscow will release them.
The entire world is laughing at Obama right now .
A very shrewd move by Putin. By not sinking to 0bama's level and retaliating, he further exposes 0bama to be the imbecilic amateur he is, but also makes it MUCH easier for Trump to reverse 0bama's actions without as much blowback as he would've had.
Kitchen diplomacy, for those never having seen it, is the chef throwing knives over tantrums to distract from his embezzling cash and product while sleeping with all the waitresses.
IIRC they don’t have playgounds in middle school...right?
That’s more of an elementary school thing.
Which is what we are dealing with. It’s rather fun to watch Obozo just disgrace himself in the last few weeks. I have decided that it does not reflect on us as Americans but on Obozo, and on Obozo alone. Such a small and petty man, getting smaller by the day.
