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.

islam nothing but an excuse to enslave women that is the reason it was thought up
DAnn Fercharles Suggest you read the Qu’ran. You will find the Religion of Peace is not too peaceful. Is it not a mystery that muslim Americans never say anything in public about Muslim Terrorism, or muslim atrocities?
Under the circumstances, Putin was NICE.
Exactly and the way it should be.
I think the Trump administration will have to partner with Putin to some degree to defeat ISIS…America’s not ready for the kind of sheer brutality it’s gonna take to eradicate this plague. The Russians, however, are.
Merle Bryant, is correct.
And so the fire grows
Our President would never say anything bad about a Muslim because theirs is a peaceful religion.
Leading with balls
Obama’s line in the sand caused more deaths in Syria than anything.. by far.. Assad called his bluff..And he did NOTHING!
