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.

Scary that Putin is making more sense than an American President. Putin is smartly wasting no time using the actions of Obama to present himself as a rational, pragmatic, non violent option to Obama and by extension America. Putin says and acts the way that best serves him at the moment in spite of what he might be doing in the background. I am glad Trump is used to dealing with businessmen much like Putin and will use those skills for the benefit of America and the world.
See what a leader with a spine of steel looks like and sounds like.
I hope that once Trump is in office Russia and the Us can become friends!
Our President is the problem has been for 8 years.
Right on Putin
We should have been so lucky to have a man like him as president this past 8 years instead of a *****
