Putin Calls U.S. Economic Parasite

Don’t expect to see Russian President Vladimir Putin invited to the White House for a sleepover in the Lincoln Bedroom anytime soon.

Vladimir Vladimirovich has committed the unpardonable diplomatic sin of speaking bluntly. Like Sherriff Woody from the Pixar movie “Toy Story,” Putin has declared “there’s a snake in my boot,” only in this case, it’s the U.S., which he labels a “parasite” on the global economy.

Addressing a gathering of the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi at their summer camp near Moscow Putin commented, "They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy. They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar. If there is a systemic malfunction, it will affect everyone."
