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.

I think that this is part of the reason Putin and Obama didn’t get along.
good for Putin
Putin’s past history with fighting Muslim extremists on his own soil cost Russia a fortune and left him less than ammenable to being optomistic about their “religion”. He knows True Islam.
He’s a fool me once kind of guy that takes no$#%&!@*from anybody. He has no intention of using Muslim countries as anything but a welcome mat. Not the other way around. And I totally agree with him. All Muslim countries need to be stopped in their tracks gotten under Sectarian control by what ever means are necessary
Basic common sense does not a great leader make. This man has assassinated many many people. DO NOT BE FOOLED. He’s completely untrustworthy. In some respects, he’s no different than Hillary, just more intelligent.
he has a pair, finally we also have a president who has a pair too
It might be useful if some of the leaders of nations in the Middle East become less cozy with Russia.
Way to go comrade
Aren’t Muslims pissed off 24/7 as it is now?
Sometimes he does make sense to Americans, more then the Democrats do.
Putin already said , if 1 bomb goes off in Russia, in 1 half hour all Muslims will be dead !!
