Putin Says US Officials Have 'Mush for Brains' As They REFUSE to Help Him Destroy ISIS

Vladimir Putin has hit out at Washington over the Syria crisis

EXPRESS: VLADIMIR Putin has accused US officials of having "mush for brains" after they refused to cooperate in his bid to wipe out the evil Islamic State.

The Russian president claimed Washington had shunned a request to provide a list of terrorist targets in the country.

He said: "We asked on the military level to give us the targets which they consider to be the terrorist ones for sure, 100 per cent. But the answer was: 'No, we are not ready to do that'.

"Then we thought and asked another question: 'Then could you tell us where we should not hit?' Again, no answer. So, what should we do?"

Since Putin launched airstrikes in Syria last month, Washington and its allies have suggested Russia is seeking to prop up Bashar al-Assad's regime.

But he hit back, saying his country wants to "contribute to the fight against terrorism" which threatens "the whole world".

Speaking in Moscow, Putin added: "I think some of our partners simply have mush for brains. » | Tom Parfitt | Wednesday, October 14, 2015
