Sharp:

However, the truth about the White House-orchestrated provocation is bound to surface sooner or later. In fact, this is already happening. On December 8, US media quoted Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp as saying that the local authorities tracked down the origin of a hacker attack on his voter registration database after the election. The attack was traced to an IP address of the Department of Homeland Security. This was followed by an attempt to quickly cover up this information by a flood of new anti-Russian accusations that did not contain a single piece of evidence.

I learned something new.

“après-nous-le-deluge”:

It’s a famous French sentence; allegedly, this was said by Madame De Pompadour (King’s Louis XIV’s mistress) to her lover to comfort him after France was soundly defeated in a battle.

Its literal meaning is something like “After us, the deluge” (if you need a definition for “deluge” go here or think of Noah’s deluge): she meant that everything would get worse after the reign of Louis’s, but she wouldn’t care about what was going to happen to French people.
Similarly, in your sentence the ruling class doesn’t care about the public good.

(Full statement)

Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova on new threats of sanctions from the United States

2454-28-12-2016

The outgoing US administration has not given up on its hope of dealing one last blow to relations with Russia, which it has already destroyed. Using obviously inspired leaks in the US media, it is trying to threaten us again with expansion of anti-Russian sanctions, “diplomatic” measures and even subversion of our computer systems. Moreover, this final New Year’s “greeting” from Barack Obama’s team, which is already preparing to leave the White House, is being cynically presented as a response to some cyber-attacks from Moscow.

Frankly speaking, we are tired of lies about Russian hackers that continue to be spread in the United States from the very top. The Obama administration launched this misinformation half a year ago in a bid to play up to the required nominee at the November presidential election and, having failed to achieve the desired effect, has been trying to justify its failure by taking it out with a vengeance on Russian-US relations.

However, the truth about the White House-orchestrated provocation is bound to surface sooner or later. In fact, this is already happening. On December 8, US media quoted Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp as saying that the local authorities tracked down the origin of a hacker attack on his voter registration database after the election. The attack was traced to an IP address of the Department of Homeland Security. This was followed by an attempt to quickly cover up this information by a flood of new anti-Russian accusations that did not contain a single piece of evidence.

We can only add that if Washington takes new hostile steps, it will receive an answer. This applies to any actions against Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, which will immediately backfire at US diplomats in Russia. The Obama administration probably does not care at all about the future of bilateral relations, but history will hardly forgive it for this après-nous-le-deluge attitude.

Did I read somewhere that Putin’s response was to ‘tweet’ a picture of a duck with the word “lame” on it?

OK Russia, release to US Hillry’s bleached emails. Rumor is ol bj and Hillry are in secret negotiations for pardons. ‘We the people’ have a right to know what crimes these two crooks are guilty of committing.

We owe an apology to Russia for the embarrassing stain our country has delivered courtesy of the Obama monkey troop.
