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.

Is this supposed to make him some kind of hero? So he doesn’t respect the Muslims, so what he clearly doesn’t respect the U.S.either!
With all the$#%&!@*talk the media does against Trump it seems Putin and him have the same idea. Also it might not be a bad idea to have th w m as an ally.
Russian had multiple Islamic states part of USSR and it wasn’t that long ago. Also there was Afgan War and Checnya War. It’s only fair to say that Russia would know better next to Israel and India.
Putin has balls of steel!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. But still keep Putin at arm’s length.

Angelo Tillas his nationally doesnt determine his religious faith and thats where alot of people here in the states have issues with President trump once again its a travel ban from those countries that have Islamic terrorism. Yes there are good muslims in the world but the problem is that isis or isil is not a nation its traveling murder cult . So someones nationally isnt their religious faith . I have more respect for putin then i ever had or will for obama .
