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.

He better hush
Screw the Russian government. We shouldn’t glorify this country in the least
Calm down Lloyd, Jesus loves you too! Hopefully you will feel his presence in your heart one day
How stupid are you people? Do you not know I’m only laughing at you for even attempting to change me or my mind? O.o
He says things, n will back it up.
Good muslims got to learn that their igion is subject to scrutiny too if they wanna live in the west here christianity is$#%&!@*on
Jason, the so called invasion of Crimea had a death casualty of 0. Some invasion. Furthermore, the bombings in Syria were at the request of their legal and in recognized government who sought aid and help from an ally (Russia).
Quit posting liberal drivel spoon fed to you
Rachel, over 90% of Crimeas population is pro Russian and wanted to rejoin the Russian federation. So they are indeed very fond of Putin.
Dino Omeragic lol you’re an idiot considering the fact that I’m not a liberal and I don’t watch or read “liberal” news sources. Yea cool the invasion of Crimea has 0 casualties, it was still part of Ukraine before. Putin has stated that he wants to Pretty much bring back the USSR. Also, it’s common sense that the bombings were at the request of an ally, we do the same$#%&!@* What I’m saying is that he doesn’t want peace. How bout you learn to read before you make assumptions. If Putin wanted peace he wouldn’t be testing our military or our government, he wouldn’t have state sponsored hackers trying to hack into our security systems 24/7, he wouldn’t support China with what they’re doing in the South China Sea, etc. yes he’s a somewhat respectable leader, but he’s also a war monger just like Bush was, Obama, etc.
I agree
