President Barack Obama on Thursday vowed retaliatory action against Russia for its meddling in the US presidential election. "I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing," Obama told National Public Radio.
Describing potential countermeasures by the US, the President said "some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be." He said he directly confronted Russian President Vladimir Putin about a potential US response, and said his counterpart acknowledged his stance.

If there were any real reporters in DC the first question would be: “Which was the most damaging DNC email which the Russians revealed?”
I heard him on a live microphone, promise that once he was elected the 2nd time he would give away the candy and the store to Putin.
So would he be willing to be bitchslapped by Israel for meddling in their election?
0bama interfered in the Israeli election.
0bama interfered in the Brexit vote.
0bama had Muammar Gaddafi brutally murdered, he was the legitimate head of state of a sovereign country. He has veen repeatedly trying to do the same to Assad, another head of state of a sovereign country.
And this sorry excuse for a president wants to throw stones and threaten war with Russia over a loss of face for the Demonic party?
What's he going to do? Toss out all the Russian Vodka in the White House?
Ba bam.
Where’e the Putin Laughing GIF?
The hatred they are whipping up against Russia at the end of Obama’s term, for political reasons, is bizarre and dangerous. These are very corrupt evil politicians.
The BASTARD knows he’s going to prison and throwing every monkey wrench at this country he can...
Yes, he is.
Get tough, Bammy. Tell him their borscht smells.
WAG THE DOG!
“another red line in the sand”
But with the additional weasel word qualifiers: “we will take (undefined) action - at a time and place of our choosing”
anything or nothing - likely the latter.
And, those who would be "under oath" either carefully parse their words or in the recent case, refuse to appear before Congress to answer questions. That is going to hopefully change after January 20th.
He’s going to start a war with Russia in the six weeks remaining to his term in office, and destroy all life on Earth, so as to punish Putin for being a scapegoat for the late Seth Rich and “save” us all from four years of Donald Trump. Psychotic. Is this how he’ll belatedly earn his Nobel piss prize? Alas, Babylon.
This can’t be. The left told us Trump was the reckless one
I’m so confused. Russia’s alleged meddling in the US election is cause for retaliatory measures, but the US’s meddling in, say, Israel’s elections is A-OK? Same for Brexit?
