Looks like putin and trump have reached an agreement on who should keep their bags packed BUTT if trump doesn’t toe the party line " Russia retained the right to punish U.S. diplomats in the future. " :2wave:

<MOSCOW — In a rare break from the diplomatic tradition of reciprocal punishment, Russian President Vladi*mir Putin said Friday he would not deport U.S. diplomats in a tit-for-tat response to U.S. hacking sanctions, as Russia looks to cultivate relations with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump. >
<“We won’t create problems for American diplomats,” Putin said in a statement released by his press service Friday afternoon, adding that Russia retained the right to punish U.S. diplomats in the future. He said he would “plan further steps for restoring the Russian-American relationship based on the policies enacted by the administration of President Donald Trump.” >
<Putin’s surprising decision came just hours after the Russian Foreign Ministry suggested that Putin expel 35 U.S. diplomats and close two properties used by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow as part of a growing diplomatic slugfest over Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. >
<Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a statement carried by the Interfax news service, called for 31 employees of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and four diplomats from the U.S. Consulate General in St. Petersburg to be declared “persona non grata” and forced to leave the country.>
<"Countermeasures, which are typically mandatory, should be weighted in this case, considering the known circumstances of the transitional period and the possible response of the U.S. president-elect," said Konstantin Kosachyov, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of Russia’s upper house of parliament.>

Its expected. Putin knows Obama's a lame duck President and also knows whats motivating him.
Responding in kind would just legitimize Obama's tantrum and since a new president is coming in shortly, Putin wants to leave the door open for normalizing relations between the super powers
Any other news in your crystal ball on the deplorable’s best bud Vladimir?:2wave:

For decades the Left has been bending over for Soviets, and Obama has bent over for Putin, going so far as to tell Medvedev... "tell Vladimir I'll have more flexibility after the election".
As Obama held his ankles, what do you think Putin would do?
If their game was chess, Putin would be considered a rated player, and Obama a pure novice... just learning how the players move. He's made Obama look the fool for years... and now Obama and the Left have been having tantrums, turning over the chess board.
The child-like amateurs are leaving very soon... let's see what happens.
Odd and funny to see the Left finally be confrontational to the Russians... it only took more than a half century!

Lol ! The Democrats have lost over 900 State legilsator seats since 2010, 12 Governorships, the Senate and the House and now the Presidency.
Putin had NOTHING to do with it. Putin also had nothing to do with Hillary's decision to creat a rogue Email server and then feed the American people a bunch of lies about it.
Or do you still believe that she did it for the conviene of using one device or any of the other lies she fed us ?
No, this is all on Obama and Hillary and the Democrats, Obama and his supporters just dont have the maturity to accept it.
Putins not my " bud ", I just dont think starting another cold war becuse the Democrats lost their asses and have been exposed as a bunch of low lifes is the answer

I like that a lot. Now, what could make it perfect would be if he would meet with our security people and straighten this out... if they're innocent, of course.
I'm actually impressed. He's acting more mature than our president.

Look like a thread that would get a couple of nibbles...might start a thread on it.
So now it is the right's turn to bend over for Russia?
Wow are you really that naïve?

You think Trump, a pro-American... vs. Obama the anti-American who did everything possible to knock America down, is going to bend over for for anyone?
ROTFLOL...
This is going to be a fun 8-years watching the Left spinning like a top, chasing their own tails.
So now it is the right's turn to bend over for Russia?
Looks like Fenton shared his crystal ball with you eh?Its nice to share some things BUTT I wouldn't touch it.:2wave:

Biding his time till his home boy Trump is in the office.
This is the consequence of Americans losing faith in their leaders. And the media. You call it naive. I call it hopeful.
No this is Putin not legitimizing Obama's tantrum.
