| Subject: Via ANCAPS: US a parasite on global economy, says Putin Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:36 am | |
| Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of living beyond its means "like a parasite" on the global economy and said dollar dominance was a threat to the financial markets.
"They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy," Mr Putin told the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi while touring its lakeside summer camp, about five hours' drive north of Moscow, on Monday.
"They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar," Mr Putin said at the open-air meeting with admiring young Russians in what looked like early campaigning before parliamentary and presidential polls.
