Discussing a recent flattering letter sent by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Donald Trump, an entire MSNBC panel agreed that the Russians are laughing at the U.S. because they can see Putin treating the president-elect like “a fool.”
Asked by host Sheinelle Jones about where Trump described Putin’s thoughts as “so correct,” Russia expert Nina Khrushcheva said Trump is playing “right into Putin’s hands.”
“I was just in Moscow and the Russians are saying ‘Look at those fools, look at their their democracy.’ Absolutely,” she said. “‘How could America lecture us on any development, institutions, human rights, democracy, rhetoric when they just elected Donald Trump. He’s such a fool. He’s such a bully. That’s what America deserves and we’re going to take advantage of it.’ And that’s how Russians feel about it, and now it’s taking shape with letters from Vladimir Putin to Donald Trump with their exchange on potential nuclear armament and whatnot.”
Asked to chime in on whether Putin’s relationship with Trump will hinder an investigation into Russian hacking of the the election, intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance said of course it would and laughed at how easily Trump can be manipulated.
“I don’t think there will be any accountability with the regards of the Russian hacking against the DNC or even violating the entirety of the U.S. electoral process. He has benefited from that,” Nance explaiend. “He’s going to shut down any investigation if it implicates him or his campaign.”
“However, Nina is right,” he continued. “We are being played as fools by a spymaster-in-chief, a former KGB officer, Director of Russian Intelligence. He’s laughing at us in his letters which stroke Donald Trump. ‘His excellency!’ We haven’t had a letter like that in the United States since King George III. As long as Trump is manipulated, Russia and China will take our market share from the international markets out there, and the United States will be relegated to a third class country.”
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Tibs, man. What is the big deal?
In 2012 Obama and the Democrat party told us that Russia was not to be feared. Romney was stuck in the past.
I don't recall you eviscerating Obama over that. You were quite silent.
Oh no does this mean that the entire congress and senate don't support Obama's actions to expel?Little Barry's dick got stomped into the dirt by Trump winning - that's what this is all about. Petulance. Obama figured he was going to stay in power if Clinton was elected.
Poof
GOP Rep Slams Obama, Says Russian Sanctions Meant to 'Delegitimize' Trump's Election
Rep. Trent Franks slammed President Obama on Friday for imposing sanctions on Russia for political reasons, arguing that Obama’s “primary motivation is to delegitimize the election" of Donald Trump.
In an interview with MSNBC, Franks noted that Obama failed to act when it came to other Russian transgressions, such as standing behind Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s bombings of civilians in the country.
"Now he suddenly finds his tongue when he sees an opportunity to try to use Russia to, quote, 'delegitimize' the election of Donald Trump to be the president. I find that stunning," Franks said.
"I am completely convinced that Barack Obama's primary motivation here is to try to delegitimize the election here."
Franks's complaints echo those from Trump's camp. Transition officials have blasted the Obama administration's focus on the Russian hacks into Democratic organizations as an attack on the legitimacy of Trump's win.
While hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta may have had an impact on the election, there's no evidence to suggest that Russian hackers breached the vote tabulating process itself.

Fitting image Spike, living in a cartoonish, fantasy world. Perfectly sums up the Trump phenomena, regardless how short-lived it is. Happy New Year!
Comrade deljzc, I didn't have a problem with Comrade Spike's cartoon. In fact I praised it, saying it perfectly summed up the fantasy world Trump's supporters currently reside in. It was a compliment. Do you even bother to think before you type anymore?Tibs, you're one to talk.You've posted as many cartoons on this site as anyone. Do you really even bother to think before you type anymore?
No, Putin - and all of Russia - are laughing at Trump and his supporters for how gullible you are. Not in a thousand years did they think the GOP will be transformed into a bunch of yelllow-bellied walkovers by a reality tv show mogul.Putin is laughing at Obama and Hillary.
