Vladimir Putin is pretty infamous for his no-nonsense approach to politics. He’s also known for not giving a damn for anyone’s sensitivities. Ever since Muslim-controlled Turkey shot down a Russian jet last month, Putin has been upping his rhetoric against the religion. After announcing his thoughts on imposing some stricter sanctions on the country, he said something that is likely to draw some ire from more sensitive Muslims.
Putin said during a press conference that he was not interested in “saber-rattling” with Turkey. He promised stronger sanctions on the country. After Putin’s statements the Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak announced that Russia would be ending the talks on the Ankara Turkish gas steam pipeline, a move designed, he said, “to emphasize the strength of Kremlin anger.”
Between Putin’s relatively gentle chiding and Mr. Novak’s more aggressive announcement to halt energy discussions with Turkey, it’s clear that Putin wishes he could do more. And perhaps he would, if the NATo countries could be convinced to coordinated their attacks with Russian military.

Abraham is the patriarch to both religions.
Gotta love this guy !!!
Religion sucks$#%&!@*
Well considering he’s a fascist…. Many right wingers now are fascist war mongers so it makes sense that you all like him. Lol neo cons.
Randall Lyons because it’s America and you can be whatever religion you want. There are a lot of Muslims working in the public sector.
Raymond Konkel he wants peace?? You must be high or something, invaded Crimea/Ukraine, bombing Syria, those who oppose him die of “natural causes” etc.
…. The Russian president of Russia is more American than the American president of America? Putin is absolutely worth respecting in the sense one would respect any adversary or contender. With that being said though do you honestly believe a former KGB agent who wants to bring back the USSR is more American than an albeit marginal U.S. president?
John, that’s what I’m saying lol. So many right wingers don’t understand how crazy Putin is. I’m not a liberal by any means, but it seems the right has been hijacked by fascists and left has been hijacked by socialists, atleast in the US. I honestly can’t stand discussing politics with my leftist friends or my family members who are republican because they’re completely neo cons.
No mass shootings in Russia.
Jason Filley Right!? I’m all about consevative sensibilities, I lean more right than I definitely do left on most issues. I’m not sure I buy that Russians “stole” this election or even affected it in any significant way, but these folks have to be on drugs and/or wholly misinformed if they believe Russia has even a small amount of America’s best interests at heart on any level.
