Trump will be squirming today though...as at least Obama has the leadership to take action.

U.S. expels 35 Russian diplomats, closes two compounds: official

U.S. expels 35 Russian diplomats, closes two compounds: official


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to a campaign of harassment against American diplomats in Moscow, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

The move against the diplomats from the Russian embassy in Washington and consulate in San Francisco is part of a series of actions announced on Thursday to punish Russia for a campaign of intimidation of American diplomats in Moscow and interference in the U.S. election.

Now let's watch how many on this forum are NOT American patriots...and get pizzed at what Obama has done.

It won't be hard to make the list of those who voted for Trump, because they hated Hillary... more than they love this great nation.

Trump is getting painted into a corner on this one. The republican leadership came out today in support of Obama's actions making it difficult for Trump to rescind the order. If he doesn't rescind it, his pal Putin will be pi$$ed. If he does rescind it he is saying to the world it is okay to interfere with our elections. Rock meet hard place.

And so starts a new cold war. Obama finally grew a pair, on his way out. He won't have to deal with it. And he bit*hed about the mess Bush handed him. If Russia was giving our diplomats a hard time, then it was the only thing to do. It's been a while since we had these type of Cold War dances. Perhaps Putin will back off once The Donald takes office and he realizes he will no longer be dealing with a paper tiger. That's just speculation.

Obama does not seem to be worried about Trump having his finger poised above the button. Remember Obie, there won't be a bunker in the mountain for you to run to anymore.

Why in the world would you be naive enough to think that Trump would wish to "rescind" this? Are you really that stupid to believe all those liberal talking points made for Hillary's campaign to make people believe there is ANY relationship between Putin and Trump?

This stuff happened all the time during the Cold War. It's all about posturing.

Have you stopped beating your spouse yet? Same old baiting, huh? Sorry, but this Trump voter supports the common practice of expelling diplomats when ours are pestered in other countries. It's about time that the "leading from behind" sissy attempted to stand up to the big bad bully. Let's see what happens when Obie throws the stone at the bully and runs home to get his big brother to fight his battle for him.

Yep, I understand how the dance works.

Eight years later (unt...the guy has been in office for 8 years and has had his nuts hammered flat by Putin several times. Now all of a sudden; The DNC believes the hacking was done by Fancy Bear and it is believed to be affiliated with the GRU (you do know the difference between "believed" and "known?) and now Obamma wants to throw people out... Is he having a slow day on the golf course??

If you don't think he is a (unt, why did Obamma lie to protect Crooked Hillary? ("I found out about the personal server the same you all did" = LIE!) A real man would not lie for that ugly bitch!

"It's fair to say that Donald Trump is skeptical of the idea that Russia should be sanctioned for election-year hacking.

"I think we ought to get on with our lives," Trump told reporters late Wednesday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida.

Trump, who has disputed U.S. claims that Russia hacked the email accounts of Democratic Party officials in an effort to help him win the election, added that "I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly — the whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on."

Trump dubious about sanctions on Russia for hacking

Not exactly sure where Trumps head is on Russia. It is ludicrrious to allow this kind of thing without doing anything and dont move the subject here. This is about a President and a pretty unified congress and a totally unified security group agreeing for once and only one person thinks they are innocent, and no sanctions. That is the guy coming into office.

Of course he said this flanked by Don King who spent 4 years in prison for manslaughter so he did it in a classy arena.

Gotta tell you....until he allows his tax returns and which would allow us to see IF, and HOW MUCH and TO WHOM he owes money over there, there is absolutely no way he should be trusted.

Russia is hacking the USA

New President despite ALL and EVERY intelligence agency says it did not happen.

All of congress is for the sanctions and YOU...YOU want to talk about Hillary Clinton

Exactly.


It's been known and obvious that Chump is an intellectual lightweight, but it will be interesting to see if he is actually forced to rescind these sanctions...and what excuse(s) he uses for doing so.

Regardless of what Trump gives for reasons, the blind & ignorant on here...will still support and believe him.

Still harping on his tax return? I had hopes for you, that you were not as naive as the rest of the libtard girls on here. You are the only liberal on here that has a half way decent reply (most of the time) when it comes to discussion of the subject of the thread. But, his tax return...really? It ain't gonna happen and I hope this starts a trend. Trump's financial disclosure has been submitted when he entered the race. Live with it.

To bad this leadership did not start 8 years ago.

Trump is preparing his tweet as we speak. That way he won't have to answer any questions.

The republican leadership is unanimous in their support of Obama's actions. It will be very difficult for Trump to reverse this executive order.

Obama is brilliant!


Trump will be squeezed by Putin and will be scared to death of what Putin has on him, but on the other hand he can't admit to being the Putin puppet that he is...so he'll just go insane trying to tweet himself out of the box he's in.

I can't frigging wait...to watch his head explode.
