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.

Russia doesn’t have muslim problems? Why do you say things when you don’t know?
I know, right?
All you gotta do is line a few up then kill 1 with a bullet annointed in pigs blood. You’ll never have another problem.

Josh Craft Who do you think Armed ISIS and AlQaeda?
Putin is the man.
Michael Chad Sellers Obama and Hillary Armed AlQaeda and ISIS in Syria from Benghazi. Look at the Wikileaks Hillary Clinton Emails. In the search Bar put in Libya. After you read them put in Syria. Obama watched more than 500,000 Christians being killed in Syria and Millions fleeing into other Countries. Didn’t you ever wonder why Obama wouldn’t Arm the Kurds? Didn’t you wonder why when they were only 800 in Syria he didn’t go after ISIS? They could have been destroyed in 2012. Now they are in 50 Countries.
