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.

Look Middle Easterners are not from Russia. So to him they are there by his blessings. You cause trouble and this ex KGB LEADER will erase your existence with extreme indifference to human life. I respect and admire the way he deals with RADICAL ISLAM
Religion is the biggest crock of c**p anyway. Since the dawn of man anyone that didn’t agree with someone else’s way of life was destroyed. Been that way forever, never gonna change.
He invaded Crimea because the CIA was rigging elections in Ukraine. The US has killed hundreds of civilians due to collateral damage by airstrikes under Obama.
They haven’t been angry for the last 2000 years. This comment is what did it.
