Putin to Democratic Party: You lost, get over it

By David Filipov December 23 at 6:04 AM

MOSCOW — Russia’s President Vladi­mir Putin has a message for the White House and Democratic leaders who accuse him of stealing their victory: Don’t be sore losers.

That was how Putin answered a question Friday about whether Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election in favor of Donald Trump at the Russian leader’s nationally televised annual news conference

“Democrats are losing on every front and looking for people to blame everywhere,” Putin said in answer to a Russian TV host, one of 1,400 journalists accredited to the marathon session. “They need to learn to lose with dignity.”

The Kremlin leader pointed out Republicans had won the House and Senate, remarking “Did we do that, too?”

Democrats are an international embarrassment. Their entitlement requires psychiatric therapy. Many should leave this country they hate.

Exactly the thought that crossed my mind reading this. I actually respect the leader of Russia more then the current US President.

Thank God we dodged the Hillary bullet!

In a way, Putin is reacting to Obama similarly to the way Gorbachev reacted to Reagan. We all recall how Gorbachev was forced to concede to the US because the Soviet Union lacked the resources to respond to Reagan's "Star Wars" missile defense system.

Well, Putin has a similar problem. Obama is such a weak and feckless leader, Putin is able to take advantage of Obama's capitulation around the world. Russia has ben able to establish dominance in the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, and in Russia's frontiers around the world. He simply has no more resources to continue this dominance. In fact, he's stretched so thin, he likely will have difficulties simply maintaining his new-found empire. It's obvious he needs a strong and decisive leader in the US, in order to cease his empire building, and stop the expansion.

[pronounced] Di-me Peevo [one of only 4 things I know how to say in Russian] = “buy me a beer” (or so I’m told, I guess it could mean “kick me in the ass” lol)

Morning Pajamas are full of it!

EVERY president since George H. W. Bush has neglected our nuclear arsenal to the point now that it is seriously degraded.

It is so degraded, in fact, that it might fail us when and if we ever reach a stage when we have to use it to ensure our survival.

Russia is not the only opponent with nuclear weapons that can hurt us. China, Iran and North Korea come to mind. Pakistan also has offensive nuclear weapons. What would anyone think of a French or British nuclear force if their countries became Muslim? Far-fetched, but the way things are going, not impossible!

By maintaining our inventory and technical edge, we ensure that a potential adversary would know we have the means to strike back and destroy them utterly.

Weakness only welcomes the idea that they could get away with attacking us.

No, that would be: "пнуть меня в попку": "Pnoot menya v popkoo".
Buy me a beer is: "купить мне пиво": "koopeet mne peevo".

“Some of these rags, and liberals are obsessed with fighting Russia, and everything to do with Russia.”

I often wonder if Russia just happened to still be the 100% Commie Soviet Union, would the left still be hating them?

The question of who hacked the U.S. Democratic party was not important anyway, said Putin, but what the hacks revealed - that public opinion in the United States was being manipulated - was.

Amazing. The current leader of Russia is 100% smarter then all US "Journalists" combined.

Fun fact,

Putin, like Trump, does not drink alcohol.
