The Russian government Thursday announced sanctions against several advisers to President Obama as well as a number of lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid -- retaliation after President Obama announced economic sanctions against Russia.

The sanctions ban Boehner, Reid, and Sens. Mary Landrieu, Daniel Coats, Robert Menendez, John McCain, as well as Obama advisers Caroline Atkinson, Daniel Pfeiffer and Benjamin Rhodes from entering Russia.

The announcement came after the lower house of the Russian parliament voted Thursday to admit Crimea and the metropolitan region of Sevastopol into the Russian Federation, putting some of the final procedural touches on Moscow’s controversial takeover of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine.

Be careful Vlad. Barack might blow some of that smoke in your face. He's been blowing it up our asses for years now and is very, VERY good at it!

No. A few Soviet citizens is all the excuse Putin needs to claim mistreatment and take action.

They're Russians, not Soviets (I know a lot of Russian women and none of them are Communists! They like capitalist materialism...), and besides....let Vlad claim Brighton Beach.

Give us an excuse to go after him militarily instead of this "it isn't our problem" namby pamby crap.

None of them get it. They’re “uniting”. Putin is laughing his ass off. Next he’s going to tell them “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but.....obama doesn’t have any stones.”

They are stupid for publicly announcing these bans and not waiting for a chance to turn these losers away in person.

If the Russkies really had any sense they would only openly have banned President Valerie Jarrett.

Vladimir versus Valerie———————Putin versus Rasputin

“Can we get Russia to extend the ban to the U.S.?”


You’d rather punish everyone for the absolute stupidity of just a few?

Pelosi’s not on the list, so pets are probably still OK.
