he Kremlin lashed out Thursday against Donald Trump’s campaign video mocking Hillary Clinton – saying the ad, which features strongman Vladimir Putin, demonizes Russia.
“I saw this clip. I do not know for sure if (President) Vladimir Putin saw it. (But) our attitude is negative,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, Reuters reported.
The ad, posted on Instagram Wednesday, tried to cast doubts over Clinton’s ability to handle Putin, who is cast as a US foe.
It shows Putin effortlessly flinging an opponent in a judo bout before cutting to footage of Mohammed Emwazi, the late ISIS executioner nicknamed “Jihadi John.”
The video then displays text saying: “The Democrats have the perfect answer…” and Clinton’s is shown barking like a dog as Putin erupts in laughter.
“We don’t need to be a punchline!” the “Make America Great Again” ad concludes.
“It’s an open secret for us that demonizing Russia and whatever is linked to Russia is unfortunately a mandatory hallmark of America’s election campaign,” Peskov said. “We always sincerely regret this and wish the (US) electoral process was conducted without such references to our country.”

Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Ad made sense to me!
Russian’s trying to get on the Trump Train for a little publicity. You know that Putin will really love the spot if he sees it. ;-)
Wouldn’t you love to see Trump and Putin nose-to-nose?
How about that! A Russian without a sense of humor.
Great ad. Trump needs to play that everyday, all day long.
Of course the Kremlin disapproves.
The left in charge is akin to complete and total conquest of America. Having Hillary in charge would amount to unconditional surrender.
So yeah, they don’t like it that we might have a competent leader running things.
eeee...actually, I think Putin sort of admires Trump. Of course the Kremlin is going to have to say SOMETHING regarding the AD, which I like by the way, but it is sort of like anything else, I think Putin actually likes the AD since he thinks Hillary is a pathetic and ineffective and a selfish establishment type.
The ad is actually a good one. And I think Putin likes it, too. No one likes Hillary unless you are a total idiot.
So what?
I agree with Putin. It’s funny.
Being a bit touchy. It is hard to believe the Russians can’t catch the irony in that ad.
BTW, the Post is always on the wrong side of history.
Or maybe Putin thinks it would be fun to get a discussion going man-to-man with Trump.
Actually, this AD by the Trump campaign co-ops Hillary’s ability to use her yapping dogs story she uses against Pubs. Were she to bring up yapping dogs now, everyone would be laughing at her. Checkmate.
Putin and his gang are trying help out Donald Trump by claiming they are outraged. OUTRAGED I TELL YA!!!!! Just more kabuki bs.
Putin knows Hillary is wacko on foreign affairs and prefers Trump who he can deal with on a sane level
They’re being diplomatic. I bet Putin is actually laughing his @ss off. I know I did.
Exactly.
Could be a FR showdown between the Trump and Putin fanboys.
