Russia Retaliates To Obama's Sanctions, CNN Reports by Everfrank(m): 6:28am On Dec 30, 2016 |
Russia isn't expected to waste any time in retaliating to fresh sanctions imposed by President Obama's administration, potentially resulting in a quid pro quo game of diplomatic punishment. Moscow appears to have already taken action. CNN reported late on Thursday that Russian authorities ordered the shutdown of the Anglo-American School of Moscow, which primarily serves children of Western embassy personnel, as well as the closure of a U.S. embassy vacation house in Serebryany Bor, near Moscow. The Russian embassy in Singapore told CNBC that it was not placed to comment on the CNN report. The closure of an international school would be unusual for Moscow, but not impossible, Douglas Paal, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told CNBC on Friday. Earlier on Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova already warned of payback after the White House penalized Moscow for alleged interference in the U.S. 2016 election. "We can only add that if Washington takes new hostile steps, it will receive an answer. This applies to any actions against Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, which will immediately backfire at U.S. diplomats in Russia. The Obama administration probably does not care at all about the future of bilateral relations, but history will hardly forgive it for this après-nous-le-deluge attitude," she said in an official statement. Washington sanctioned two Russian intelligence agencies, four officers of its largest intelligence agency, GRU, and three companies that supported GRU's operations on Thursday. Obama also expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland. Going forward, Paal expects the U.S.-Russian conflict to play out in a more subtle fashion. "The U.S. is going to mete out sanctions quietly without publicity and Russia will be watching closely how to react. So we may not necessarily see the exchange in the headlines, it's going to be more of a 'Spy vs. Spy' situation." http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/29/russia-retaliates-to-obamas-sanctions-cnn-reports.html 5 Likes 1 Share

Obama is butt hurt for two reasons: Hillary losing the election and Russia tactifully isolating the US from the peace talk in Syria (as it stands now Russia has a solid grip over the situation in Syria). All Obama is doing now is to make life difficult for Trump. Obama could have focus on his handover and allow the incoming administrator to decide on how to carry on with a diplomatic relationship with Russia. 77 Likes 3 Shares |

Russia under Vladmir Putin is waxing strong everyday; that shows that what any country needs to become great is just one great President! Russia ended Syrian civil war! Russia flushed out ISIS and about to bring ISIS terror to an end, all hail the almighty Russia, the new World Power! Another country that is about to become great is Philippines, the newly elected President Duterte is determined to root out corruption and drug trafficking from his country, and guess what He is starting with his own cabinet....he has warned all his cabinet members that are corrupt or have any corruption allegation to resign and be ready to face corruption trial! Recently, Philippines president pushed out a top member of his cabinet from a chopper just because he embezzled public fund meant for developing Philippines, and he has vowed to kill all corrupt politicians in Philippines even if they are his own blood relations, that's what's called FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION! I don't know when Nigeria will be blessed with leaders like this 183 Likes 14 Shares |

No, they haven't retaliated. If you call this retaliation, then be glad Trump is the incoming president. Had it been it was Clinton that won, it would have been much more severe. The Russians, like the Israelis, are waiting for Trump to assume office. In the hope that his policies will be more favorable to them. Although in the end, both countries would have lost. No nation can live in isolation. Still I find it ironic that Trump and Putin are acting like two lovers who are on honeymoon, which is maybe a good thing. But trust me, the relationship won't last. The two of them have big egos. They won't last as friends. My only hope is that they don't draw us into another arms race and subsequently a war that is needless. 4 Likes |
