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.

What a fucking horrible person
This dude shits on his people’s freedom and maintains power through death threats. He is about as close to a dictator as you can get. If your into that then leave our democracy alone and join the Cubans and Russians
Put in maintains his power by limiting his people’s rights and death threats of his opponents. If your into that then leave our democracy alone and join the Russians and Cubans
Much guts,
No buts.
Who was in charge of USA, when all of what you just mentioned actually happened? Who was in charge when USA sold Russia 20% of our uranium deposits? You make us sick, lil sheep, should throw you to the wolves you so eagerly protect, idiot!
Good for Putin.
Well$#%&!@*Conor Welch, might as well embrace him. The libs love the$#%&!@*out of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. That way the Conservatives can be on the same page. BTW, what most are expressing here is that Putin isn’t a$#%&!@*like our current CinC.
Good for him, if we had other world leaders that weren’t pussies we could put and end to this nonsense once and for all!
William Rhoda just shut up already! You sound like a fool!
