Putin's "exceptionalism" line was clearly a misunderstanding of what that term means to Americans, and was ill-considered. Blame his translator, or perhaps the NYT editors, who hate America more than Putin ever has.
It was clear he has no clue of our concept of "American Exceptionalism", and meant that the U.S. must abide by the U.N. Charter the Senate ratified in 1945 just like every other country, which bars the use of military force except in self-defense or with UNSC approval.

America is exceptional, not because of blood, skin color, foreign policy, or military. America is exceptional because for a long time (til recently) they were the Free-ist country on earth
