President-Elect Trump Praises Russian President Putin Amid Hacking Expulsions


BBC: Russia-US row: Trump praises Putin amid hacking expulsions

US President-elect Donald Trump has praised Vladimir Putin after the Russian president ruled out a tit-for-tat response to the expulsion of diplomats in a row over hacking.

Mr Trump tweeted: "Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!"

Mr Putin had earlier said Russia would not stoop to "irresponsible diplomacy".

Washington expelled 35 diplomats over hacking related to the US election. Moscow denies any involvement.

Mr Trump emphasised his statement on the row by pinning his tweet to the top of his account.

It was unclear exactly what he was referring to with the term "delay".

Gotta love the Real American's(TM) celibration of the US's humiliating defeat at the hands of the Russians.

"Humiliating defeat?" I'm a bit confused. Russia has chosen to delay a response to Oba a's stupid and reckless actions. I'd view this as a victory for the incoming Administration and most importantly America.
