Interesting development. I wonder how this is going to play out over the next month or so as Trump takes office. Worrying times

Clever politics to damage the relationship furthermore, leaving the Trump in an awkward position if he is seen to reverse the decision he gets the "Putin Puppet" claim.
Increasingly Republicans have backed this action as well.
Looking at the picture Obama looks like he wants to headbut short arse Putin.
Putin playing the waiting game and no tit for tat expulsions, his mate is in power soon
It's a smokescreen for Obama to pardon all his Crooked mates
I think that the world is in its most dangerous state since the Cuban missile crises and its far more sinister than the hacking of the DNC. I'm no Ruskie lover , and Putin is annoying with his I have the evidence for this and that quotes, 9/11 as an inside job being one of them, however, Putin is way ahead in the leader stakes, his non response to the current POTUS is simple but so effective, can Obama handle being mugged off again by his nemesis, Democrats are suffering only, because of their own interference, I have little doubt Sanders would have walked it.
Great point, but Lardy simply stated the obvious - i.e. 'Trump' appears to be happy to shake a stick at, or offend plenty of other nations, but not Russia.
'Trump' is apparently not averse to making enemies nor being particularly tactful, other than with Russia.
The question is why.
Perhaps he's just copying Bush

I'm glad somebody grasped it.
And he's done it again, this time saying Putin is very smart for not retaliating over the diplomat row. There was once a time when siding with America's biggest enemy (as the Republican Senate majority leader put it yesterday, "The Russians are not our friends") would be seen as unpatriotic. So why is Trump doing it?
Could it be that the self-confessed deal maker made a huge deal with Putin? Did Putin offer to help him get an unlikely victory in return for...something?
Also interesting to guess what Trump does when he's in charge. Does he reinstate the Russian diplomats, knowing that other Republicans back the move to expel them (in fact, they are arguing it should have been done earlier)? Or does he maintain the explusion and risk upsetting Putin?
'.. Tune in to next weeks exciting episode! .. ' as they used to say on US fictional shows .. ;)
I think of Trump (the man) as 'Trump' (the '?') as rather unsure what he represents or who. I'm sure that has been true of most PoTUS since at least Reagan, possibly since Nixon/Watergate, maybe much longer again, but this figurehead seems very different to anything that has gone before.
I'm no strategist, more of an observer, but doesn't it make sense for Trump to go after the Clinton's, Obama, Biden & Podesta if there is any dirt to stick on them. The benefit of this would be the shutting up of the half of the population that George Soros funding in order to agitate the other half. Of course there is the unwritten rule in politics that everybody gets a free pass no matter they do.
Blair to Bush , now trump to Putin, its not a bad match , allegedly both egotistic, don't care for minorities, treat women as second class citizens,don't care for gay rights, like walls and wire fences , like weapons ,restrict movement of people,happy to jump in without hesitation,marriage in heaven ,until they fall out .
