Our ruling class has looked at Russia with undisguised hostility and fear for almost a century. We profoundly misjudge the Russian people and their government. The USSR was a nasty bit of work, although nothing like the threat posed by Hitler's Germany. We've recovered from the Nazi nightmare completely but despite the lack of Russian aggression and the generation that has passed since the USSR folded its tent, we still see Russia through a Cold War squint.
It sounds to me like Putin is saying that the US is the bad guy- they have military bases all over the world, they spend more money than Russia on defense- so shut up about what Russia is doing!
