Putin is set to respond to Obama's sanctions of Russian officials with his own list. Several U.S. Senators and officials will be banned from visiting Russia, including Sen. Dick Durbin.

U.S. senators, congressmen and top Obama administration officials are sure to be on Vladimir Putin’s sanctions list; a response to the Obama Administration’s announcement on Monday that 7 Russian officials and 4 Ukrainian officials would be barred from holding assets or traveling to the United States.

Putin is expected to release his retaliation list as early as Tuesday and while the final list is still being crafted, it will include top Obama administration officials and high profile U.S. senators, in an effort to roughly mirror the U.S. sanctions against Russian officials and lawmakers, according to diplomatic sources. At the top of the list in Congress is Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, who recently co-authored a resolution criticizing Russia’s invasion of Crimea.

Durbin’s inclusion on Putin’s list would mirror Obama’s naming of Valentina Matvienko, the head of the upper chamber of the Russian Duma. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are not expected to be on the Russian sanctions list.

Sen. John McCain, who traveled to Kiev last weekend to meet with Ukrainian leaders, told The Daily Beast that he expects to be on the list and is happy about it.

“You think I’m not going to be on it?” McCain said. “I would be honored to be on that list.”

McCain said he would not be impacted financially by being subject to a visa ban and asset freeze in the Russian Federation.

“I guess I’m going to have to try to withdraw my money from my secret account in St. Petersburg,” he joked.

Other names that could be on the Russian sanctions list, although not confirmed, include Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Bob Corker (R-TN), the leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who are leading the sanctions drive in the Senate, and Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State for Europe, who has been heavily involved in working with the Ukrainian opposition that ousted the Yanokovich government.

I haven't had time to check all of the facts and sources so I cannot endorse, but these seem to be some of the concerns touched upon by Putin. This is the link to the article from which the following video is taken-

Funny how Putin always refers to a "legitimate President" -- LOL 

As if Obama isn't.

Cute and TOOOO funny !!! 

A lot of pertinent info discussed on this video, some of which is about what a loose cannon Putin is, ( for those of you who are falling a wee bit in love with him  )  

 

Putin is KGB through and through, the hammer and the sickle to the grave. It is not at all that I agree with the man's ideology, quite the contrary. What is most interesting to me is the way in which the actions and policies of the West reflect off of an individual strong enough to call an as-, er, a spade a spade, while pursuing and protecting his own nations interests. Both East and West struggle for power and resources -that is age old. What is disgusting to me is the way some present that quest under some benevolent guise, while vilifying the other for doing the same. To me, such a practice is a malevolently manipulative of the masses as it is insulting.

Wake up America, because you're being played a fool. Here is your "vice president" :

"Our intent is that NATO emerge from this crisis stronger and more unified than ever," Biden said at his first stop in Warsaw. "Our commitment is absolutely unwavering and unshakeable."

He noted the United States deployed more jet fighters in the region to bolster NATO air policing, and he called Putin's moves to add Crimea to the Russian Federation a "blatant, blatant violation of international law" and "nothing more than a land grab."

Speaking to reporters at a joint news conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Biden said Russia responded to Ukraine's efforts to realize a more democratic future "with a brazen, brazen military incursion, with a purposeful ratcheting up of ethnic tensions inside Ukraine, with a rushed and illegal referendum in Crimea that was, not surprisingly, rejected by virtually the entire world."

Sounds like sour grapes to me, coming from someone who's own "land grab" in the form of a not so "blatant, blatant" coup has thus far failed. "Nato" you stupid prick? Really!? He must have missed the video above in which the head of our state dept. chided "F*** the EU"; absolutely precious. "Ratcheting up ethnics tensions" ? Oh, you must have meant something such as our state dept. backing that racist criminal organization within Ukraine that you hoped you could have controlled with the intent of installing your latest puppet. I want to puke. THIS is America?

I wonder how Russia's neighbors feel about the two thumbs up blather?
