Oh, and not to mention SYRIA. Russia's ally Syria, where Russian troops are actively deployed, received more than 60 precision guided US Tomahawk cruise missiles in retaliation for a sarin gas attack.
I'm sure Putin was thrilled to hear Trump had decided to deliver major ordnance to his ally, in direct violation of his warning about doing just that. Trump trumped Putin, because Putin did nothing in retaliation. It showed Obama's cowardice to be just that - cowardice. Exactly why Obama never confronted Russia on one single issue. Opting instead to engage in sneaky espionage/sabotage activities and quietly foment coups they laughingly called "regime change"
Victoria Nuland, for instance, under Obama's direct is directly responsible for the coup in Ukraine that led to Poroshenko's installation as President of Ukraine (Nuland and a US ambassador picked him)
But keep pretending Trump hasn't already retaliated against Russia. This isn't the type of incident you use military force over, or something you continue to attack another nation over. It's over and done with. We won't be responding with the force of the US government at this point because the left has turned it erroneously into a criminal matter instead of an intelligence/political matter Therefore, left the courts handle it (isn't that what you wanted? With a special counsel?)
You aren't getting buyers remorse with Robert Mueller are you? Since he cleared Trump of conspiracy and all.....
When a leftist's faux outrage backfires...it is the tastiest form of tears.
FOR THE LAST TIME...The Russians were ALREADY sanctioned for their role in the election.
The Trump administration said on Monday it would not immediately impose additional sanctions on Russia, despite a new law designed to punish Moscow’s alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, insisting the measure was already hitting Russian companies.

This little song effectively summarizes what the OP and the majority of those pushing the "assault Russia" narrative are pushing us towards.
In 2016 you had a bad day, don't crap down our necks and call it "patriotism..." tantrums aren't patriotic.
Meanwhile, several states reported the “scanning” of their voter databases — which American intelligence agencies also attributed to Russian hackers. But there is no evidence, American officials said, that Russia sought to manipulate votes or voter rolls on Nov. 8. Mr. Obama decided not to issue sanctions earlier for fear of Russian retaliation ahead of Election Day. Some of his aides now believe that was a mistake. But the president made clear before leaving for Hawaii that he planned to respond.

republicans only love rich Americans
My experience is rich people pretend to be poor when they are around poor people.
Like jumping in front of everyone - to show how common you are - to ride the subway?

Your responses almost always involve some utterly petty childish retort that serves nothing but their (Russia's) objective...
I'm at the point that regardless the Russian influence, these people in their quest to believe they can remake America into some christofascist authoritarian paradise for their "kin" are just as dangerous as an any Spetsnaz squad.

“First from the Fox News deck this Monday afternoon, the president spent the weekend defending himself, misrepresenting the truth and attacking others — from his phone in Florida,” Smith observed.
“The president attacked the Justice Department, FBI and his National Security Adviser, H.R. McMaster. He attacked Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), Democrats and the DNC. He attacked Hillary Clinton, President Obama, the previous Congress and the news media before going after Oprah Winfrey,” Smith listed.
“He did not attack Vladimir Putin or Russia,” Smith reminded. “Nor did he express concerns that the Russians attacked the United States.” “Nor did he pledge in any way to measures in place to stop future attacks,” he continued.
Van Der Zwaan allegedly lied about his last communications with Gates and deleted emails requested by the special counsel's office, according to the indictment.
The new charges come as Gates is reportedly nearing a plea deal with Mueller, and will testify against former Trump campaign head Paul Manafort.

I suppose Mueller just decided to take a break from Trump and go after Manafort for the 11th time (good for him). I bet this is eating you and silly up though.
Since the Russian indictments none of the scared weak republican scum who took that dirty money can call for the end of the investigation or the firing of Mueller now.
Sanders attempted to note that the interference began under the Obama administration and said that there will be consequences under the Trump administration, Karl appeared to have enough.
“He hasn’t even called out Putin!” Karl exclaimed.
“He criticized Obama, the FBI and didn’t even criticize Vladimir Putin.”
.. Kushner has been operating under a temporary clearance for the past year while the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducts a background investigation.
Under an order issued on Friday by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Kushner will lose the temporary clearance in less than a week.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, can continue in his role as a senior White House adviser even if he does not obtain a security clearance, the White House said on Tuesday.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters that Kushner will continue the work he has been doing the past year whether he gets a full security clearance or not. He has been trying to get the Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table.
