From Russia, with Truth, love, and humor
Among the countless Tweets mocking Cameron's over-the-top warning about Labour being a 'security threat' was one from the Russian Embassy.
They said:
"Just imagine UK media headlines if Russian President called a leading opposition party threat to national security?"

— Russian Embassy, UK (@RussianEmbassy) September 14, 2015And not satisfied with such world class trolling, the Russian ambassador to the UK followed the tweet up with a full-throated endorsement for Jeremy Corbyn.
Alexander Yakovenko wrote:
"Congratulations to Jeremy Corbyn. Hope for positive change in terms of debate, including on our relations."Mr Corbyn has previously hinted he'd like to see Britain pursue more cordial diplomatic relations with Russia.
He's on record saying the crisis in Ukraine was caused by the west and Nato.
Last year he wrote:
"Russia has gone way beyond its legal powers to use bases in the Crimea. Sending unidentified forces into another country is clearly a violation of that country's sovereignty [...] Still, the hypocrisy of the west remains unbelievable.
"Nato has sought to expand since the end of the cold war. It has increased its military capability and expenditure. It operates way beyond its original 1948 area and its attempt to encircle Russia is one of the big threats of our time."
Does anybody actually BELIEVE that Vladimir Putin has time (or would care to make time) to put "snarky comments" on somebody's "twitter" account?
Putin is never in one place long enough to post anything. He is traveling continually, nation to nation, putting together agreements, economic deals and contracts with other leaders to financially build and strengthen prosperity while unifying peaceful intents.
Anybody who reads this kind of nonsense had better get up to speed on WHO Putin is, and his track record.. (and no it isn't just being high level CIA type employee). and what he has done to pull Russia out of a black hole in a little over ten years.
Wish somebody that dedicated and smart was working for the US.
