Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom blasted the Obama administration on Thursday afternoon after it was announced that the U.S. was imposing sanctions on Russia as retaliation for its cyberattacks that interfered in the U.S. presidential election. “President Obama expels 35 [Russian] diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, including [American] people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless [administration],” the embassy’s official account tweeted, along with an accompanying image with the word “lame.” Earlier, the editor-in-chief of Russia Today, which is frequently criticized for pro-Kremlin and pro-Putin bias, mocked the U.S. for the sanctions, saying sarcastically: “Oh, I’m afraid.”

2. They are naive if they think this is the only action Obama is taking.

Some will be overt...other decidedly covert....and I suspect the covert actions will hurt a lot more.

4. Seriously?

Did anyone really think the Russian Embassy was going to send a tweet saying, "35 of our diplomats got PNG'd because we got caught screwing around with the US election. Good. We deserved it."?

5. The only people that know exactly what went down are: Trump, the CIA, and the FBI. All classified.

So who is to know the truth? If sanctions are implemented they will be canceled after Jan.20. What you want to bet?
