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

LOL! Bigly!
Well done.
Putin learned by watching Trump and his advisers no doubt did too.
This is combining chess with master trolling.
Now Putin is no nice guy. He’s playing to the end game when there’s no middle game even laid out on the chess board.
Real hacking which the Russians and Chinese are vastly adept means real results.
Russia hacked an electrical grid in Ukraine and brought it down. They did it again and took out power in part of Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. Also did the same thing to a government agency delaying issuance of checks for seniors.
We’re going to need to elevate the standard playbook that’s for sure.

It keeps getting harder to tell if Obama is purposely trying to start WWIII, or if he’s just that incompetent.
Ironically, Putin comes off as “the bigger man”.
Post of the day!

Although this is likely what he’s referring to.
Nobody "Hacked The Election", Rather "Democrat Election Rigging Exposed By Hack."
The hack was not of the election's voting machines or voter databases, nor was it of any federal government database or national security secrets.
It only targeted the dirty secrets and mob operations of the DNC and its fixer Podesta. Yet Obama responded more forcibly to this hack than he has to more serious acts directed at the federal government or its national secrets.
Hackers, earlier in Obama's presidency, stole the confidential personal records of millions of federal government employees - including military, law enforcement and intelligence members. The records stolen included the very confidential background checks of those employees that would be most valuable in blackmailing or targeting in other ways those employees. Obama had no response.
Many other instances of state cyber-attacks, by foreign governments, on federal computer systems and databases containing national secrets have similarly provoked no or minimal Obama response. Yet we have Obama's massive response to a hack of the Democrat Party's dirty political secret of extensive election rigging (candidate selection, media coverage, debates, polls, etc.) as if that was a national security secret.
And then, in order to delegitimize Trump and cover-up their own sins, the Obama Regime and its liberal media and RINO politic collaborators falsely proclaim the "Hacked Election" narrative - rather than the truth: "Democrat Election Rigging Exposed By Hack."
I hope the irony of a Christian response to Obama’s slap here is not lost on everyone
Chess vs checkers
Putin, you magnificent bastard!
Bwahahahahaha!
Obama and Putin had a falling out over something. I wonder if we will ever find out what caused it. A far cry from “tell Vladimir that after my election I will have more flexibility.”
WOW! ‘kitchen’ really...kind of like what Bill Clinton said to Ted Kennedy...
I would NOT want to be Barky right now, Putin just totally disgraced Barky, his pResidency and everything about him...
Then what China did, made him exit the plane in the rear...Barky is NOT a respected person...
Bingo.
But the Podesta was not likely “hacked” by the Russian Government.
Assange says it was an inside job.
I said yesterday Putin wouldn’t take the bait. He essentially told Obama.....you don’t matter. lol
Mr Putin should send a Personal Gift for Obama’s Going away party, a Box of Pampers and a case of Pacifiers.
Obama is a joke. Even the president of the Philippines publicly calls Obama the “son of a whore.”
I’m not saying Russia did anything, but whether or not Russia did - my points about Obama, the Democrats and the hack stand.
“It keeps getting harder to tell if Obama is purposely trying to start WWIII, or if he’s just that incompetent.”.....
Unless he actually orders bombs to start dropping on the Kremlin (highly unlikely even for a desperate “man”) it shows that he IS INCOMPETENT. Odumbo is dealing with people and countries HIGH ABOUT HIS LEVEL.
