The Kremlin has hit out at a video promoting the US presidential hopeful Donald Trump, complaining it demonises Russia’s image.
“I saw this clip. I do not know for sure if Vladimir Putin saw it. [But] our attitude is negative,” the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
The video posted to Trump’s Instagram account attempts to cast doubt over the Democratic party frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s ability to deal with Putin and the US’s opponents in general, showing the Russian leader easily throwing an opponent in a judo bout.

Well they also complained about a Wendy’s ad too.

So....they obviously have way too much time on their hands.
Lol - even Russia is willing to look like a bunch of wusses in order to pile on and stop the Trump Train.
Oh no! Russia is offended. Someone get Bill O’Reilly to confront The Donald about being so rude to such good friends!
Maybe they found being in same ad - with Hldabeast - offensive.
Peskov can go Pissov.
Meanwhile, in the backrooms of the Kremlin, they are STILL laughing over it!
Please Trump will use his position as president to advance his Russian property interests.
We are seeing the first turn of the media against Trump. They will simply NOT allow effective attacks on their liberal heroes. Such attacks on Trump will be subtle, but relentless. He will soon be relentlessly painted as a juvenile buffoon. If the shoe fits, he’ll have to wear it.
Message to the Kremlin: Your days on easy street with Obama are nearly over. Be ready.
I think this denial helps everyone. The Russians can say they are not a threat, while the fact that the Russians are “upset” by it (which they really are not), show that Trump is not aligned with Putin (which he really is). A win-win all around (except for Hillary, lol).
Yeah, if the news cycle is Trump standing up to Putin (with a barking hillary ad no less) it elevates Trump to the world stage and leaves the wannabees behind.
I agree, it does deamonize Russia unnecessarily. They could be a future ally. It would have been better to find some laughing Iranian mullah. But it was funny nonetheless.
