President “Precious”
declared 35 Russian intelligence operatives “persona non grata” yesterday as
part of sanctions he ordered after accusing them of hacking the presidential
election on orders from Vladimir Putin.
He also closed compounds in New York and Maryland while imposing
economic sanctions on Putin’s FSB (Federal Security Service formerly known as
the KGB) and GRU (Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye) spy agencies adding
them to the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.

Foreign minister
Sergey Lavrov fired back at Ol’ Jug Ears’ decision to kick the diplomats out
of the US by banishing 35 diplomats of their own.
According to The Daily Mail, Lavrov’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
claimed the US and American people were “humiliated by their own President” in
the Cold War-style measures against Moscow, intended as punishment for hacking
the US election.
“The people who
occupied the White House for eight years—this is not the Administration. They
are the group of foreign policy losers, angry and shallow-brained. Today
Obama has officially confessed to it,” said Zakharova.
Ms Zakharova claimed
US citizens were let down by the White House, and added: “Not by
international terrorists, not by troops of the enemy. This time Washington got
a slap in the face from its own master and it increased the urgent agenda of
the incoming Donald Trump team to its maximum level. Moscow hopes that Trump's
arrival next month in the White House will gradually lead to a reset of
relations between the two countries.”
“That's all, the curtain
falls. The bad performance is over.”
“The whole world,
from the stalls to the upper balcony, is watching the smashing blow on American
prestige and its leadership made by Barack Obama and his illiterate foreign
policy team that disclosed its top secret to the world—their
exceptional nature was a mask for their helplessness. No single enemy could do
more harm to the USA.”
