Rudy Panko — Putin Explains Subtle Difference Between US and Russia: 'We Don't Do Stupid Things'

During a panel discussion with CNBC's Geoff Cutmore, Icelandic President Gudni Johannesson and Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, Putin explained a subtle difference between U.S. and Russia policymaking: "We never do stupid things that would harm us. We never shoot ourselves in the foot."

I guess Putin picked up on Obama's, "Don't do stupid stuff."
