Wahh, I'm taking my crayons and going home lol.
it's just phase 1.
this is the "rub the dog's nose in it" so everyone can see how CLEARLY the "Russians stole the election" ( Democratic meme).
++
now that we're in our righteous ( read HYSTERICAL) mode- we can really show Putin how tough we are!!
( while he retaliates cold war style).
John McCain's blood thirst is slacked for a day, and the Dems are all warm and fuzzy they showed Putin. It's all good.
do you not pay attention to the news?oh ok. if theres a phase 2 then i will judge when that comes. So far its pathethically weak.
You don't read fine print do you?but what are the sanctions.... 35 expelled diplomats where the head is not even expelled is next to nothign.
Yes...even though we haven't heard the particulars of all the new sanctions, and cyber retaliations, this is just meant to set Trump up. I love it. He has to weigh his business interests against national security.
I believe stock in popcorn is through the roof.
You don't read fine print do you?
Those are just some of the retaliations. Losing 35 diplomats is essentially losing 35 spies. Yea...that hurts and it's probably a good bet more sanctions are coming and other's on the way.
But hey. I get it. Anything Obama does is wrong and couldn't possibly work cause we all know how much he hates America. Particularly white America. Particularly white Americans who don't have that fist clue about the world 2 miles down the road from them.
you said it forces trump to drop these sanctions. How will he drop it when its against 35 random guys that can just get reassigned?
35 guys have 72 hrs to depart this country. It's mainly intended to embarrass.
The real embarrassment will be having no evidence for the actions.
They hope to avoid it by saying it's really really secret stuff. Internationally that's not flying.
Just when you think BO can't look look more childish....
Just as Obama's sanctions 'did nothing'. Russia is broke. US now has many allies who are ready to impose more sanctions on Russia.again if theres a phase 2 ill judge it on that too. but so far it does almost nothing.
Do you naively think that's the entirety of it?

we can make further judgements once we see the rest. so far this is it.
Hackers based in Russia were behind two recent attempts to breach state voter registration databases, fueling concerns the Russian government may be trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials tell NBC News.
The breaches included the theft of data from as many as 200,000 voter records in Illinois, officials say.
The incidents led the FBI to send a "flash alert" earlier this month to election officials nationwide, asking them to be on the lookout for any similar cyber intrusions.
