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.

Putin is NOT the worlds enemy, he’s been fighting the devil a long time.
Hell, he was easy on them. What’s the problem ??
Who cares about Islam it’s a cult.
Well ever heard, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We’ll that’s Putin to me.
Michael Chad Sellers You are right. The problems in the Middle East will be solved by the master chess players….not guys that like to play Whack A Mole.
Now that we don’t have a muslim president maybe the muslims will abide
I believe Obama was on the right track. The solution won’t be seen in our lifetime. The solution is a long term process of education and understanding that slowly modernizes the medieval environment that is required to sustain such medieval belief structures.
It will make it easier on Trump… Putin will be killing off the Muslims and Trumped an concentrate on rebuilding America
It will be painful. Many will die. In the end we will have peace. The Whack A Mole strategy is a never ending short term extinguisher.
