Russia is warning the U.S. not to take action against their government-backed media outlets like RT or Sputnik and threatening retaliation, CNN reports.

"When it comes down to a fight with no rules, when the law is twisted and turned into an instrument for the destruction of a TV company, every step against a Russian media outlet will be met with a corresponding response," said Russia Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Thursday.

"And whom this response will be aimed at, that is what Washington needs to figure out as well," she added. "The clock is ticking." Zakharova did not how Russia would retaliate to protect its media outlets.

The spokeswoman has previously threatened that Russia would take "reciprocal measures" against the U.S. if it did not return Russian diplomatic facilities seized last year.

1. Russia needs a taste of it's own medicine....

Perhaps we should bot their country with fake news about Putin?

[Merlot]

7. With puttys approval ratings, I'm thinking he's already

botted his own country.

He tried the strategy on russia first, perfected it, got his 90+ approval rating, and moved on to other countries.

9. Their media was under such struck control during the Cold War they thought Americans were starving

Living a much worse version of their limited and oppressive lives. Putin decided he needed to lower out profile again and has been doing it internationally for many many years. Apparently Africa was flooded with the idea that we started their AIDS crisis.

2. Who in the hell do they think they are?

We have every right in the World to clamp down on their invasive activities.

3. Agree, just who do they think they are. Russia is doing this cuz they know their man is in the WH

and there will be no repercussions.

4. In my opinion, Trump is a defacto Russian agent and as so, will

go to great links to protect them and himself.

[iluvtennis]

5. Indeed.

6. Russia warns US not to take action against its invasion

[forgotmylogin]

11. "We attacked you, but you better not attack us!"

"You can't retaliate because then we will retaliate!"

8. When the Traitor gets his ass thrown out of office Pence better remember

who the hell is supposed to be in charge and it ain't Pooty Poots. He better start kicking these sons of bitch's out of the country and seizing all of their properties once and for all. They are done and need to go and not come back until they can play nice.
