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.

Tough countries with tough leaders will survive the next decade . The whole world is going to change and only the tuff will survive .
I am a Christian and have met nice Muslim people. The Muslim Religion has been hijacked whereas it makes all Muslims look bad. Read about the Crusades under 3 different Popes. A few years back the Pope apologized to the Muslims for what the Catholic Church did to the Muslims during the Crusades. These statements are truth. Of all 6 major religions only in Christianity is our prophet Jesus still living. And only through the person of Jesus and Christianity has more good taken place in our world. Look at medical research and hospitals in our United States of America. I live in Schaumburg, Illinois and within driving distance there are dozens of hospitals with a Christian connection. To name a few there St. Joseph in Elgin, Illinois, Alexian Brothers in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and Saint Alexia in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Yes, the person of our living Jesus has made a great positive influence in our world. Thank God for sending Jesus to this earth to die for our sins and give us the assurance of Heaven. These truths of love and Heaven can be found in God’s gold standard for our lives in the Bible.
So if Russia attacks Turkey from behind, do you think Greece will help………………….;)
RR Watson yup, don’t ya just love it. oh btw he got balls also.
Our President might be a closet Muslim.
Putin may not be the nicest person but the Muslims don’t mess with him.
RUSSIA DID NOT HACK US. IT WAS A TRAITOR IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I’d believe Julian Assange any day over Obama’s controlled intelligence agencies.
Our Constitution specifically separates religion from politics. We are a religion neutral country with a Christian majority. “The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”

You tell’em Putin and mention that you think barak eats a lot of bacon and sausage late at night so nobody can see !!!
If Putin had theme music when he walked in a room it would be “Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta”
