Russian Spokeswoman said Obama’s Sanctions Targeted ‘Ordinary People’ and Their ‘Simple Human Joys’

Oh this is good. The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman painted a picture of Obama kicking over wooden bowls, filled with gruel, from the hands of working class plebs — just trying to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

Meanwhile, this is the Russian compound in Maryland that is being closed.

Not exactly spartan living.

She said the sanctions affected 96 people, forced to leave the United States on short notice. Some had to remove their children from pre-school.

Due to the holiday season, finding an airplane to Moscow proved to be a difficult task, so the Russian government sent a plane to pick everyone up. I’d love to be a fly on the wall on that plane heading for Moscow, filled with angry and very drunk Russians.

“One can only hope that this was the last thing that the current administration does to spoil bilateral relations – the last strange, unwise decision, which targeted, among other things, ordinary people and their simple human joys,” she added.

She twisted the knife in a little deeper, explaining why Moscow didn’t expel US diplomats in Russia.

“We took into serious consideration how our American colleagues and their families would feel. Especially their children, who are now preparing for the New Year and are on their Christmas holidays,” Zakharova explained. “They would have been cut off from their school programs and forced to pack their things and go back to their homeland in 72 hours. So we decided against it.”

Yesterday, Zakharova went apeshit on her Facebook page, criticizing Obama. This is a fucked translation by Facebook. But you’ll get the gist.

    Obama has forgotten all about the pursuit of happiness.

    Putin should have thought about the ordinary people of his country, before he hacked the U.S. If you do stuff like that, you can’t expect retaliation toward your country.

    As for Obama’s supposed foreign policy “failures”, let’s compare them in four years with what Trump does. It’s easy to criticize, and that is all the GOP has been doing these last 8 years. Let’s see Trump and the GOP Congress accomplish all those wonderful things that they imagine Obama could have and didn’t. Obama at least sent a lot fewer soldiers into war than GW Bush did. He may have done the best that anyone could have done, with the hand he was dealt.

      What’s with you and the straw man? Are you romantically involved?

      You continue to compare Obama’s actual track record to that of Trump, whose term in office has yet to begin.

      Only a simple minded idiot would conjure such an argument and you won’t find many here at iBC to buy the bullshit you are selling.

        If it’s not the false dilemma then it’s the reductio ad absurdum. All the hallmarks of a cognitively impaired intellect. We need these people in life. So we can point to them and say “see, don’t be like that one”.

      Let’s see if in four years, Trump has done anything worthwhile, if he’s made everything come up roses in the Middle East, like people expected Obama to have done. Criticizing is easy. Accomplishing things is hard.

      Talk about a cognitively impaired intellect. My IQ is easily higher than metaleg’s and derp’s combined.

      I am not comparing Obama’s track record to Trump’s track record that hasn’t begun. I am saying that criticizing is a lot easier than achieving something. Wrap your tiny little minds around that concept.

    Thanks for insulting me, so that I know you can not make any arguments to support your opinions, and so you have to resort to insults and obscenities, like the barn animals you are. Since you are incapable of arguing any point you may have, you are conceding that that I am right.

      Opinions and such are the realm of judgemental people. I don’t have an opinion and I don’t want to judge people or thoughts. It is a waste of time.

        Interesting how some people like you think they are above the fray of humanity somehow– the superior nonjudgmental one. Now that is an interesting opinion.

        I don’t need everyone to have an opinion. But if they have one and can’t defend it and resort to obscene insults, that is no defense at all. They are just beneath the level of civil human beings.

      That’s a non sequitur. Yet another example of fallacious reasoning. It must be exhausting to be a legend in your own mind.

        LOL, there is nothing fallacious about my reasoning. You have no reasoning at all, even fallacious. You sound like you just picked up a book on logic and are randomly throwing the terms of it around as if they applied to what I am saying.

    Poor little Right Winged creatures here want their Safe Space echo chamber bubble, where no one can ever disagree with them. If they don’t get that, they cry and make obscene noises. This is not Fox News or Breitbart here, where you just get people agreeing with you over and over again. Poor little snowflakes can’t handle the truth, because they can’t make their case for their point of view.

    You have no good arguments for your side. Obscenities do not make your correct. In fact, they prove that you have nothing worthwhile to communicate.

      Jesus, don’t you ever shut up. You’ll never be the man your mother is. Is your family tree a cactus, because everyone is a prick? If you were twice as smart as you pretend to be, you’d still be half as stupid. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out something smarter than you are. Crawl up a chickens ass and just bide your time, you’ll get laid.

        Really stupid people tend to just spew out obscene insults in response to normal conversation. Isn’t that interesting how they do that?

      Frog,

      You just said wing again

      What’s wrong with you? Get a different act, your vomit is old and doesn’t even smell bad anymore. Just annoying , hence the reason your being abused.

      You’re just a retard on a fag box saying nothing at this point. Take the dick out of your mouth so you can speak better.

      Learn some new terms and words for 2017. Doesn’t that sound good? Make sense?

      I trying to help your sorry ass out so the kids on the play ground stop fucking with you.

      Regards

        The kids on this playground fuck with me because they can’t stand to hear a different opinion or to hear the truth.

        I am not talking about Wings to irritate you. I am talking about them because the Right Wingers have been taught by Faux News, Breitabart, Drudge etc. to habitually bash the Left Wing. This keeps America Divided and Conquered, which keeps meaningful discussion from taking place.

        I will not cave in to people’s demands that I not discuss things. Someone has to be an adult and discuss the problems of our country, even if it scares some kids.

    Mr Soros figures the fourth estate will be strong enough to contain Donald Trump, in his latest letter. The traditional media plus all the money pulling and shoving I think he considers himself to be the fourth estate?

        Wikipedia says that the fourth estate most commonly refers to news media. He doesn’t own any big media companies, as far as I know

          Soros doesn’t own tv stations nor does he have to.

          What do you mean, he doesn’t have to? If he owned Fox News, it would be saying very different things, HRC would have won, and he’d be a happier man. Of course he has to. Perhaps he will buy some now and make up for the error of his ways.

    For 2017 I think “frog” should finally post up a real cool avatar instead of using the generic one around here. It would be interesting to see what it will be. What does frog and y’all think?

      Hi, Cancel. I tried to do that once before, but I couldn’t figure out how to choose an avatar but not have it follow me around everywhere on the Internet. Some places I post, I don’t want a picture of a frog or whatever there.
