Donald J. Trump wins Presidency

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-23/putin-slams-us-democratic-party-shameless-losers-says-russia-alone-believed-trumps-v

Covering numerous topics, from foreign politics to the Russian budget, the price of oil, sports doping allegations as well as the US election during his annual end-of-year news conference, Russian president Vladimir Putin slammed the US Democratic party saying "the party that is called the Democrats has clearly forgotten the original meaning of that name" and added that "the use of administrative resources (by the Democrats) is absolutely shameless."

He continued the rout saying "outstanding figures in American history from the ranks of the Democratic Party would likely be turning in their graves. Roosevelt certainly would be. They (the Democrats) are losing on all fronts and looking elsewhere for things to blame. In my view this, how shall I say it, degrades their own dignity. You have to know how to lose with dignity."

Continuing his barrage against the Democratic Party, Putin said it is "losing on all fronts" and that it is wrongly trying to blame President-elect Donald Trump's victory on external factors. "You need to learn how to lose gracefully," he said.

He added that "losers always look for someone to blame, but they should first of all look at themselves.

Putin then said that "the most important thing is what was revealed. It's not like people invented this information - what they reported is true. It showed how the Democratic Party manipulated the system against Bernie Sanders. Instead of apologizing, they began to look for people to blame."

Putin added that the question of who hacked the U.S. Democratic party was not important, but that the hacks revealed that public opinion in the United States was being manipulated.

Putin also mocked the "archaic" U.S. electoral system, which he said "is a problem" and that it’s up to U.S. people to sort it out, however he conceded that the "U.S. is great country, will draw conclusions from vote.''

Putin also spoke about Trump, lauding the President-elect for his win, and said it was no surprise. “Right up to the end, nobody believed he would win — except us." He credited Trump’s victory to his ability to keep his “finger on the pulse of the mood of society" adding that Trump “went all the way, even though no one believed that he would win, apart from you and me."

The Russian president said on Friday he wanted constructive relations with the United States under President-elect Donald Trump.

Putin also acknowledged his own rising support among Republican voters in the US: “I don’t put it down to me, the fact that a large part of Republican voters support the Russian president,” he said. “It means that a large part of the American people have the same idea of how the world should be, of our common dangers and problems.”

Additionally, Putin addressed Trump's comments about the need to boost the U.S. nuclear arsenal, saying they were perfectly normal. Trump's comments, made in a tweet on Thursday, seemingly in response to Putin's own comments earlier in the day. But Putin said he was surprised by the fuss Trump's tweet had caused and how it had been linked to his own statements about Russia's plans to modernize its own nuclear arsenal.

Putin said on Thursday Russia's military was "stronger than any potential aggressor". He made clear on Friday he did not regard the United States as a potential aggressor.

"I was a bit surprised by the statements from some representatives of the current U.S. administration who for some reason started to prove that the U.S. military was the most powerful in the world," said Putin.

"Nobody is arguing with that."

He made clear on Friday he did not regard the United States as a potential aggressor.

Smelling salts for Traitor McCain.

Great message.  

Like so many people, Putin probably has a calendar, marking off the days till January 20th....

The official told Breitbart Jerusalem by email:

“President Obama and Secretary Kerry are behind this shameful move against Israel at the UN. The US administration secretly cooked up with the Palestinians an extreme anti Israeli resolution behind Israel’s back which would be a tailwind for terror and boycotts and effectively make the Western Wall occupied Palestinian territory. President Obama could declare his willingness to veto this resolution in an instant but instead is pushing it. This is an abandonment of Israel which breaks decades of US policy of protecting Israel at the UN and undermines the prospects of working with the next administration of advancing peace.”

Now, I have no great fondness for the current Israeli government, but that sounds like EXACTLY the sort of sh*t-stirring Obama is so keen on. He hasn't caused enough trouble in the Middle East, so why not cause a bit more in the dying days of his administration?

I cannot actually think of a single positive thing Obama has acheived, at home or abroad.

A Loser's Malice: What's Behind Obama's Attacks On Putin

Well worth reading. It's fortunate that the Obama regime is in its dying days, not least because they are very close to driving Israel into Russia's camp, along with many other countries.

All of whom have noticed that Putin stands by his allies, unlike Obama, who backstabs every single world leader foolish enough to trust him.

I can't wait for January 20th to be honest.

Obama is now scaring me, with his pettiness, and deliberate sh*t-stirring - I don't recall any other departing US president behaving so childishly.

And if all President Trump manages to do is kick-start the economy, tighten up the border, and return to friendly relations with Russia, he will have done miracles, after the mess Obama has left behind.

That IS how he is acting Bonny.  Like a spoiled petulant child and no, no other past president in my memory has behaved so badly.  

He is such a disgrace and thankfully Trump will be able to turn the country around.

Incidentally, one of his latest wonderful acts before leaving is this.  May he rot in hell for this.

He's got nearly a month to do even worse, unfortunately. There's a lot to be said for the UK custom of sending the removal van round the morning after the election, and evicting the loser from Number 10.

I can see this ending very, very badly, because there is NO way Israel is going to hand over the Jewish quarter; it's going to be Crimea all over again. The settlements are a different matter entirely.

Fortunately he is a lame duck president and he will find himself in prison if he keeps going on like this.  

Bonny, he cannot seem to accept the fact that the US has a new President next month and he is grasping at straws.  Jealousy is a dreadful thing.

Then, overnight, Russia also joined the global opposition to the US defense policy bill when it said on Tuesday that a U.S. decision to ease some restrictions on arming Syrian rebels had opened the way for deliveries of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, a move it said would directly threaten Russian forces in Syria.

Why the HELL is Obungle arming the headchoppers? He seems hellbent on causing as much carnage and strife as possible before he is out of office.

Horrible creature.

Is that how he plans on a third term?

I simply wouldn't put anything past him right now, Lily.

I would LOVE to see him stripped of that Nobel Prize; the only lesson his foreign policy has taught the world is that if the Evil Eye of Washington falls on a small nation, that nation had better either have a big, tough, ally like Russia, or its own nuclear weapons, like North Korea.

Oh, and Israel, of course.

There is NO point in co-operating in any way with Mordor-on-Potomac, the way things stand at present.

I would not stop there either, Bonny.  Peace must be an Orwellian term to him.  He should go to prison.

He should have his pension payments and all perks of his office he receives afterwards, stopped and given to the vets.

Iranian Dissidents Pen Letter to President-Elect Donald Trump Seeking Closer Ties

Personally, I hope Trump learns from the carnage Obama has caused in the Middle East and has NOTHING to do with any 'brave rebels'.

I hear you loud and clear, Bonny.  

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/29/syrian-government-and-rebels-have-signed-ceasefire-agreement-says-putin?CMP=share_btn_tw

Lavrov said talks to implement the agreements would take place soon in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, and would involve Russia, Turkey, Iran and possibly Egypt, as well as the parties to the Syrian conflict.

At a later stage other players including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Jordan could be asked to join, he added.

Lavrov said the US could join after Donald Trump became president next month, in order that the countries could work “in a friendly and collective manner”.

That should set Obungle off again.

It sure will.  I mean, how very dare they?

Obungle and his chums sound deranged, quite frankly. Has he forgotten, the entire world knows he's out of a job in three weeks' time?

Is he lashing out like this because he took it for granted that Clinton would win, and now all his misdeeds are about to be exposed, I wonder?

Very possible and if so, we will find out sooner or later......

It's official - Obama has gone f*cking mad, won't accept that he's finished, and is hell-bent on starting a war:

Obama orders sanctions against Russia, expels operatives, in response to hacking

The Obama administration announced sanctions Thursday against Russia’s intelligence services, while ejecting dozens of intelligence operatives from the U.S., as part of a response to what it says are efforts by Moscow to influence the 2016 election.

Using an executive order, Obama sanctioned the GRU and the FSB -- two of Russia's intelligence services as well as other entities and individuals within the GRU.

In addition to the sanctions, the State Department has declared 35 Russian intelligence operatives "persona non grata" in the U.S., and is shutting down two Russian compounds in Maryland and New York.

The Treasury Secretary meanwhile has named two individuals it says was involved in "using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information."

"These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior," Obama said in a statement.

Obama also announced that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI will release declassified information on Russian cyberactivity to help "identify, detect and Russia's global campaign of malicious cyber activities."

Obama also said that the administration will be providing a report to Congress "in the coming days" about Russian attempts to interfere in the election, as well as previous election cycles.

The president also hinted that his administration to do more to hold Russia accountable.

"These actions are not the sum total of our response to Russia's aggressive activities," Obama said. "We will continue to take a variety of actions at a time and place of our choosing, some of which will not be publicized."

U.S. intelligence services have concluded that the Russians interfered in the election to try and help President-elect Donald Trump win. Trump has dismissed the conclusions.


Obungle is a complete and utter ar@ehole - can't the military remove him from office, as the world isn't safe with him in the White House?

Having already made it clear that any sanctions would be met with retaliation, IFX reports that Russian Commissioner Foreign Ministry on human rights, democracy and the rule of law, Konstantin Dolgov exclaimed that "any anti-Russian sanctions are futile and counter-productive."

Via IFX (Google Translate)

Keyed US anti-Russian sanctions in connection with the alleged cyber attacks from Moscow are counterproductive and are intended to cause damage including the future of the process of restoring bilateral relations, said Commissioner Foreign Ministry on human rights, democracy and the rule of law, Konstantin Dolgov, via "Interfax" .

"Any anti-Russian sanctions are futile and counter-productive," he said.

"I can only reconfirm that this hysteria demonstrates the complete lack of orientation by the outgoing US administration," said the Russian diplomat

"Such unilateral steps are pursuing the aim of damage relations and complicate their recovery in the future", - he said.


Congratulations, Obungle, your legacy is going to be complete and utter failure - and turning the US into an international laughing stock.

Nasty, vicious, bad loser.
