Russia Responds to Sanctions, says Obama’s ‘Aggressive Foreign Policy’ Designed to Hurt Trump

Under normal circumstances, the President-elect Trump and President Obama would discuss the proposed sanctions on Russia and issue a joint statement. After all, Obama doesn’t have to deal with the ramifications, Trump does. But in this fucked up political environment we live in, the incoming President and the one sitting in the White House agree on virtually nothing.

Obama and the democrats believe Russia won the election for Trump. As a matter of fact, many republicans like McCain and Ryan most likely believe the same. As such, we have a delicate situation playing out where Russia is being punished and publicly humiliated, in spite of the wishes of the President elect.

The spokesman for President Vladimir Putin says Moscow regrets the new sanctions that the Obama administration imposed on Russia on Thursday and is considering retaliatory steps.

Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Kremlin, said Obama’s actions were both “unpredictable” and “aggressive foreign policy.”

He furthered:

“Such steps of the U.S. administration that has three weeks left to work are aimed at two things: to further harm Russian-American ties, which are at a low point as it is, as well as, obviously, deal a blow on the foreign policy plans of the incoming administration of the president-elect.”

Peskov said Putin was working on methods to retaliate.

Konstantin Kosachev, head of the Kremlin’s upper house’s international affairs committee, told Interfax  Russia “needs to consider the circumstances of the transition period and a possible reaction of the U.S. president-elect.”

    Putin’s retaliatory measures will be to LOL and ignore the destructive children behind the curtain. And behind the scenes, via back-channels, much like JFK and Khrushchev, Putin will work his bromance with Trump and establish a peaceful, friendly relationship to commence in 3 weeks time.

        Nice to see you are not Right Winged at all, since you bash liberals constantly. How did anyone ever get the idea you were Right Winged?

          You’re making the assumption that liberal and libtard is one and the same. The false dilemma is a logical fallacy… libtard.

        Obama knocked himself out to try to work with the GOP. They would not even give his SCOTUS nominee a hearing. It is the Right Wing that constantly refused to work with Obama. The GOP was the my way or the highway group.

          As uncooperative as the Republicans were with Bill Clinton, they were even more uncooperative with Obama. There was no way for Obama to deal with them. They would not deal with him. The GOP just demanded to have everything their way completely.

          When he came into office, the Right Wing Congress members said things like “My goal is to make Obama a one term president.” Nothing about helping citizens of the U.S. in any way. Only stopping Obama. How can you work with someone like that? Promise to be a one term president and not run for office again? Is that what you would want Trump to do, under the same circumstances?

          Jesus Christ could not have negotiated with the Republican Congress as a Democrat. The GOP has gotten more and more obstructive over time. To be a great negotiator, there has to be some opportunity.

          The country has gotten more and more polarized. Just like I can’t seem to talk to most Right Wingers without them insulting me, neither could Obama, and neither can any liberal. How does Obama negotiate with people who believe he is a Muslim terrorist sympathizer born in Kenya? Could you negotiate with someone who thought that about you?

            You are a waste of a cum stain. Your parents did you dirty.

            There would be no Supreme Court justice until the election. That’s a fact.

            Obama did negotiate at all. Except when they bribe congress members with deals to vote for the health care fraud. Do you want to count that?

            I don’t think so.

            No- wing talk either.

          Obama knew they wouldn’t confirm/hear him. He put up a pristine nominee. He is brilliant and you are stupid Frog for saying everything is an Obama bash. He was playing chess knowing gop would automatically say no confirmation and look stupid. Obama is brilliant, and that’s different from being in America’s interest. That’s -my opinion- he was playing chess but what I would bet

          Showtime, my IQ is twice yours. Yes, peak polarization has been a long term goal of Right Wing media, and it has been very successful. Teaching Right Wingers to bash liberals, keeps useful discussion from ever happening, and keeps the U.S. public Divided and Conquered– just where the crony capitalist welfare queen corporations want it.

      All the chess pieces that have been moved, were by other parties, Putin has been on the defense side of the moves almost Bar-None.

      You haven’t been watching the chessboard. Your reference to kgb is discrediting. Yeah we know he was Kgb, that was relevant maybe 10 yrs ago.

      No evidence all the implications of a kgb label has any relevance whatsoever over the last several years. The shady folks have proved to be on the globalist team, not BRICS

    We’ve been tracking the desire to draw Russia for a few years. If more people were awake, or had believed us, the absolute zombie acceptance of Bho consciously drafting steps of contention now escalation, unfounded to begin with, might not be happening.
    Suspicious assassination of Nato member ambassador. Suspicious downing of plane with cherished choir going to Syria. Other shooting. Hacking election when they said it wasn’t a problem then assured us that Dhs would be monitoring. How dumb are you US A?
    You are now being formally duped you have an enemy – most likely forcing that non enemy to action to merely halt exacerbating – while at the same time puncturing vulnerable antagonistic openings in the Jewish/Muslim central regional state –

    IN THE FINAL 3 WEEKS OF 8 YEARS OF POWER IN WHICH THEY WERE UNSEATED
