Vladimir Putin has vowed Russia's military will "immediately destroy" any target threatening them in Syria, representing a strong warning to Turkey following its shooting down of a Russian warplane at the Syrian border.

Speaking at a meeting with senior commanders in Moscow, Putin said the military should respond with full force to any "further provocations", adding that additional aircraft and air defence weapons have been sent to the Russian base near Latakia.

"I order you to act in the toughest way," the Russian president said. "Any targets threatening the Russian groups of forces or our land infrastructure should be immediately destroyed."

It’s hard not to admire someone with that ‘clarity’ of speech.

That is the way America once took care of our business before libtard voters turned the
White House into a homosexual bathhouse for wimps and jug-eared mulatto girly-boys.

Sounds like he means “bomb the ____ out of them”.

That is exactly the plan. And the withering American middle class will furnish janissery cannonfodder for Sunni and neocon chickenhawk scum.

Yes, it is refreshing to see a leader speak plainly. Our president can talk for an hour and say nothing.

See, this is the whole problem.

Putin just jumps right in and threatens to ""immediately destroy" any target threatening them" without so much as a hint of a strongly worded letter first.

How can a country run like that?

That strongly worded letter actually was just submitted to the UN Security Council just this Monday.
