Maksim mentioned the Russian idiom “brewed porridge” which means to start troubles.
Have you got the same idiom? Does the phrase “put chestnuts in the fire” have the equal meaning?
The English equivalent will be to "start stirring sh-t". I think

Ah. I was reading the "ch" as "ts". Wrong letter.

That's the rude interpretation. "Stirring the pot" should be used in the company of children. There are many others.

A lot of Russian citizens are Muslims. Just who is who when it comes to Turks, Persians and Chechens is confusing as it can get.

Listen, kids are being killed from you Katsapki, not us. We did not get involved until ISIS was rampaging across the area. Those are Syrians being killed by your guy because your country refuses to let the Geneva process proceed. Putin condemns Syrians to a lifetime of rule by a man who killed half a million of them rather than share leadership of a country he inherited.

The chemical attack wasn't necessary? They literally used it to eliminate resistance to reconquer an area they have been fighting to control for 5 years. It is in fact a great way to show the rebellion what they have coming to them if they don't give up.

Killing and controlling is exactly the world order that Putin is desperate to defend. That's why he prevents the UN from inspecting this gas attack area until his troops can clean it up.
