Putin: Russia promises retaliation as Senate passes sanctions bill (Insolent Americans!)

Putin: Russia promises retaliation as Senate passes sanctions bill
Putin says US behavior ‘destroys international law’ as bill is passed for Trump’s signature after going through Congress

Vladimir Putin has accused US lawmakers of “insolence”, and promised Russia will retaliate if the latest round of US sanctions against Russia are signed into law.

The House of Representatives voted by 419 votes to three on Tuesday to pass the new sanctions bill, which targets Russia as well as North Korea and Iran.

The US legislation was passed overwhelmingly by the Senate on Thursday, and will now go to Donald Trump for his signature. Trump, who enjoyed two warm conversations with Putin at the G20 summit earlier this month, is likely to face a major backlash if he attempts to veto the legislation, with his administration already embroiled in a Russia scandal.

Can you imagine how frustrating it must be for Putin? He set all of this up and is being foiled by some meddling people, long dead, who wrote the Constitution.

Just wait for what is to come. Your Russian bear woke a sleeping American giant. As a pro-active step, take you blood pressure medication now.

crucify him, which will make even his most ardent supporters, squeamish.
