PM Vladimir Putin has some nasty words about the USA after its protracted and embarrassing ordeal to pass a debt ceiling.
"They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy," Putin told the pro-Kremlin youth at a rural retreat...in what some speculate may be the beginning of his campaign for the presidency
"They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar."
AND: A bear famous for entertaining in the 1980 Moscow Olympic...is now locked-up in a bus outside St. Petersburg.
Katya the bear has been caged in a bus...despite protests...since its retirement in 2009.
