Apparently Vladdy isn’t too happy with Obama’s sanctions today and the dismissal of the 35 Russian diplomats from the US:

THE HILL – Moscow is considering retaliatory measures against the U.S. following the announcement of new sanctions on Russia, an official said Thursday.
The Associated Press reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said Moscow regrets the new U.S. sanctions announced Thursday and will consider retaliatory measures.
“You realize, of course, reciprocal steps will be made and the U.S. embassy in Moscow and, quite possibly, the consulates will be cut down to size as well,” Vladimir Dzhabarov, the deputy chairman of the foreign policy committee in the Russian Duma told Tass News News Agency after the sanctions were announced.
Putin claims he’s done nothing wrong here, which is apparently why he’s so upset by the move.
But don’t worry, I’m sure Trump will make Vladdy happy when he gets into office.
