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.

It’s either abandon our muslim “frienemies” or fight the bear. What has Turkey done for us lately anyway. Time for that Kurdish homeland?
Putin is a grand strategist. We need to work with him on some things and we need to keep our eyes wide open when dealing with him. And there will be times when we need to stand against him.
Truth!
I hope Putin and Trump get together and exterminate every Muslim within their borders…. you send one of mine to the hospital I send $10,000 of yours to the morgue
I wish our current president would speak this. He, Obama, is a woman in disguise. What a$#%&!@*
If you read the quran, you will see that the violent ones are doing it right and the non-violent ones are NOT. If you subscribe to the quran, I do not trust, nor condone you being tf around me.
Who cares?

Alvaro, I know what you are saying. I was on a plane crew that flew the Admiral from Bahrain to all over the Middle East, Africa and a lot of other places from 67 to 68. The Admiral was assigned to a ship in Bahrain.
Rod Hayes plus we’re not all fucking assholes like you.
