ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Russian President Vladimir Putin just insulted your geography skills.
A few months back, a Russian video promoting new weapons technology showed missiles raining down on the Sunshine State. The video depicted Florida, of course, with Lake Okeechobee in the lower right corner and Tampa Bay in the center.

"It -- that was not signed Florida. There was not a caption saying Florida. They could -- take a more careful look at it. There was never a caption, 'Florida,'" Putin told Fox News' Chris Wallace during an interview Monday.

Reaction to President Donald Trump's summit with Putin has ranged from "bizarre" and "shameful" to skepticism.
