“Also, Forbes magazine is to being used only for spanking Trump.”
Well, I guess that means the list gets buried, since Uncle Vladdy doesn’t like it…
Comrade Cockholster has to kowtow…
Not Pravda?
Does anyone really believe Putin is worried about this? Its like Lavrov said, (paraphrasing) “its like they took their list from the Russian phonebook.” Putin knows that the list isn’t operative. He gets the news and I’m pretty sure he still has a backchannel to tRump if he had any questions. All that list amounts to is just a list for show. I believe it was submitted at around 10 minutes to midnight yesterday…so basically 10 minutes before the time was up on the deadline created by Congress. Not a serious attempt at doing even the basics. Its not even like studying for the test, because you’re pretty confident you already have the teacher’s edition to cheat from…I think its safe to say, the corruption continues unabated. Russia still owns tRumpp and to hell with our national security.
“But the U.S. surprised observers by announcing that it had decided not to punish anybody…”
Brer Putin’s eyes got very large: "Oh, please, Brer Trump, whatever you do, don’t throw me in the briar patch!"
“We were waiting for this list to come out, and I’m not going to hide it: we were going to take steps in response, and, mind you, serious steps, that could push our relations to the nadir. But we’re going to refrain from taking these steps for now,” Putin said.
If he thinks this is a hostile step, just wait till the next administration comes into office.
“Ordinary Russian citizens, employees and entire industries are behind each of those people and companies, so all 146 million people have essentially been put on this list,” Putin said at a campaign event in Moscow. “What is the point of this? I don’t understand.”
though its refers to a different topic
“We were waiting for this list to come out, and I’m not going to hide it: we were going to take steps in response, and, mind you, serious steps, that could push our relations to the nadir. But we’re going to refrain from taking these steps for now,” Putin said.
At this very moment, White House aides are frantically scrambling to figure out just how it is that Ralph Nader figures into any of this.
At least they stole it from a reliable source?
Putin & the oligarchs can just not buy any of the 1.5 Trillion imaginary Dollars Treasury has on the market now to fund the 5 Trillion in tax giveaway to American oligarchs. Raising the bond yield rate to sell off bonds causes interest rates to go up. Higher interest rates retard bull markets. Big fun if the stock market took a dump on the day of the SOTU pep rally.
Long as the oil flows.
