Jan. 25: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a Cabinet meeting in Moscow.

SELIGER, Russia -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday accused the United States of acting as a "parasite" on the world economy by accumulating massive debts that threaten the global financial system.
"The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite," Putin told a group of pro-Kremlin youth in central Russia.
He also suggested that Washington may have been flirting with the idea of a default in order to weaken the dollar "and create better conditions for exporting their goods."
"But they had enough common sense and responsibility" to avoid a default, Russia's former president added.
Putin has repeatedly criticized the United States' recent foreign exchange policy and its tendency to cover budget deficits with treasury bills and bonds held by sovereign clients such as China and Russia.
The value of that paper will shrink if U.S. debt is downgraded by a major Western ratings agency and Putin was insistent Monday that the world should be seeking new reserve currencies for trade and savings.
"If the U.S. encounters a systemic malfunction, this affects everyone," Putin told the youth gathering. "There should be other reserve currencies."

Well that's one way of putting it. Sadly I don't think I can totally disagree.

[doublej95]

Fuk Putin

[Emily_Haines]

He's right!

[k13]

He's half right. The parasites are in the U.S. and leaching it dry.

[Darkside Magick]

All great nations/empires have fallen. America on its last legs!!!!!!!!

[Monitor-Tan]

He's right, get rid of SS and all the shitty benefit for lazy as f*ck witts who leach off of our tax money and half the problem will be solved.

[Mr KLC]

Putin would probably win a few votes against Obama with that speech.

All personal income tax money go to the federal reserve.

[SportsMushroom]

it is true the US is not living within its means and needs to borrow massive sums to cover the budget

I think the US would be ok though, if it downsizes its foreign military operations the savings would be enough to shrink the deficit

[jarvol]

59% of federal spending go towards entitlement programs and welfare programs and that number is growing. HTF can anybody see that as a good plan past, present, or future?

[big joe 1212]

put all the worthless welfare fukks an island and have them fend for themselves!

problem half solved!

[vitalyo]

Putin is not an idiot he smells blood . He doesn't make statements like that just to gain home votes . He never even criticize US for been in Afghanistan Iraq and Libia he even helps US troops to transport there goods trough russian rail roads to Afghanistan when Pakis don't . I think he sees something similar to former USSR fiasco .Putin doesn't speak out of the blue unless he has a reason . He is not Obama nor Bush or Boris Elzin . He has brain .



My 2 cents .

[kickenchicken]

stop importing from the rest of the world, keep our jobs in america and stop illegal immigration where people come here having babies and doctors care for free

[wtf]

putin=genius , ran kgb for years, yes he is up to something

maybe this is his play to get the world off the usa currency standard, chinese been pushing this for years now

[pavyracer]

Reagan bankrupt the Soviet Union with an arms race and the Tea Party will bankrupt the US without assistance from Russia.

Putin is a genius.

[cant call it]

Pretty accurate

[King Mayan]

Americans agreeing with Russians.

[iceminers26]

Its true though, can't hate on the guy for speaking the truth

[jarvol]

Americans agreeing with Russians.

Nothing wrong with that. The American government scared the ignorants in America into believing a bunch of lies and propaganda about Russians decades ago in order to instill more Christianity into government and build up the imperialistic war machine.

[JR007]

Putin's grandfather was Stalin's COOK

[obamaismyuncle]

He's half right. The parasites are in the U.S. and leaching it dry.

[ABEHONEST]

He's right, get rid of SS and all the shitty benefit for lazy as f*ck witts who leach off of our tax money and half the problem will be solved.

Wow! Please sell me some of your tonic for anti-aging you dumbass. So your going to be one of those independent fellows who doesn't need the government for any security? Hmm, well if you "loan" your beloved government your hard-earned money for 45 /50 years, do you not expect to be paid back?

Also, your type will probably be the first in line when "Fate steps in?" That would be after you lose your "hard-earned" money and your aching, creaking bones start failing you. The nursing home is full of morons like you who thought they could beat the system. Oh, the system? It's unbeatable. Man lives about 80 years now, but fate has a big surprise for you ,fellow. Your body is synchronized to only last about 60 years.

Good luck on your last 15 years being nurse-fed and diaper changed!

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

[Brock Landers]

commie bastard

[wtf]

[DwightShrute]

the Tea Party will bankrupt the US without assistance from Russia.

that's like saying McDonalds food will cure the US's obesity problem

[sweethook]

to much lipstick in the army

[DwightShrute]

America's politicians used to set the standard by which others emulated. Now, they've turned into a bunch of fukking pussies who rather kick the can down the road for someone else rather than dealing with the problem. Sadly, many of it's citizens also find that acceptable.

[forsberg21]

LOL AMERICA!

Here's a man as corrupt as they come calling the USA parasites! And he's 110% correct!

Your founding fathers are turning in their graves through witnessing what a COMPLETE UTTER DISGRACE THE USA HAS BECOME.

Enjoy living in this lost generation you bunch of dim witted, ignorant rednecks!
