President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday slammed Washington for refusing to share intelligence with Russia on Syria, and accusing it of muddled thinking.
"I believe some of our partners simply have mush for brains," Putin said, expressing some of his strongest criticism yet of Washington's handling of the Syrian crisis.
Late last month Moscow launched a bombing campaign in Syria, saying it needed to target Islamic State jihadists before they cross into Russia, which has a large Muslim population.
But Washington and its allies slammed Russia's intervention in the conflict, saying Moscow was also targeting Western-backed moderate rebels
"Now, we often hear that our pilots are striking the wrong targets, not IS," Putin said
"Then we thought again and asked another question: then tell us where we should not strike. No answer too," he said, adding: "That is not a joke. I did not make this up."
"How is it possible to work together?" he asked.
He also took issue with a decision by a US-led coalition to parachute in ammunition to rebels in Syria, saying the weapons could end up in the wrong hands.

“He looked and acted like a man out of touch with reality on 60 minutes interview”
Absolutely. I couldn’t believe when asked about his leadership in Syria, he said his leadership was in climate change. He looked like he had never heard of Syria, knew nothing to say about that question, so brought up climate change. The whole interview was like that - he looked like he did not want to be there, he was hesitant saying words like he didn’t know what to say.
Sometimes I wonder, everything seems to be the opposite of what it should be. 3000 people die on 9/11/01 from Islamic terror and a Democrats elect a guy who empowers and helps spread Islamic terror.
