Trump claims that nobody was tougher on Putin than he was. Apparently Vladimir Putin didn't notice. Or maybe Putin just doesn't hold a grudge. Any other explanations for Putin's omission of Trump?
(NPR)Russia's foreign ministry said it was issuing a "stop list" to prevent members of the Biden administration from entering Russia.
"This step, taken as a response measure, is the inevitable result of the extreme Russophobic policy of the current US Administration, which, in a desperate attempt to maintain American hegemony, has abandoned any sense of decorum and placed its bets on the head-on containment of Russia," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The list includes President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, CIA Director William Burns, press secretary Jen Psaki, deputy national security adviser Daleep Singh, USAID Administrator Samantha Power, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo and U.S. Export-Import Bank President and Chair Reta Jo Lewis.
Hillary Clinton and President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, are also on the list.
Gosh, some of the people on this list are former office holders and names I never heard of. Trump's exclusion is an insult!
