"Putin has outplayed him, outwitted in the Syrian and Ukrainian issues, the status of economic sanctions and the "South stream", said the analyst, adding that Obama wants to " hurt Putin as himself, and to demonize him and the Russian Federation on the political and diplomatic levels."

This, he stresses, irritating Washington. First, Press TV reminds Obama that Putin wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Empire, destroying the economy of their country.

"the message about the fact that the Russian economy is in strong decline, fully inflated, this is in reality a product of Western and American imposition, rather than economic reality," said Eric Draitser.
