It is sad that Obama, Clinton and Kerry have so messed up the Middle East with their “Arab Spring” that Vladimir Putin becomes the hero who brings order out of the chaos.
Putin, allies with Assad. His relations with Iran are improving. (Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!”) Russia sees Syria as a strategic location. They have moved military to the Syrian border. Putin believes Obama’s fingers in the Middle East have left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Putin is closely aligned with how many American conservatives view Obama’s bungling of it. More bungling on the next page.
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
A report at Jihad Watch answers:
No, they don’t realize what they have done, and they’re poised to do more of it. And those of us who warned at the time that the “Arab Spring” would not lead to “the triumph of democracy and progress,” but to “violence, poverty and social disaster,” were dismissed and derided as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And no matter how often the establishment analysts get things wrong, and disastrously, and fatally so, they never get called to account, and keep applying the same failed solutions.

Bravo! Well said.
Two choices: Either the Obama regime, who encouraged what they named the “Arab Spring” knew exactly the fallout, and wanted to destabilize the Middle East. Or the Obama regime is delusional and really thought having “JV Team”, ISIS, fill the vacuum. That’s a good thing.
Whatever you think of Putin, he is right about Obama. No easy answers, but with pro-Arab apologists like Samantha Powers as Ambassador to the UN, a real confidante, who has the ear of the President, and was one of the architects of the Arab Spring, you can bet what happens next will be more of the same.
Perhaps after Putin is through eliminating ISIS over there, we can invite him here to take on the tens of thousands of Syrian Islamists that Obama is inviting in.
Isn’t odd how this didn’t end up on any US News media source. Just so you know the left/right media always seems to miss key moments like this for some reason.
no, he’s not that smart.
they are Dumb and Dumber — they have made the USA the laughing stock of the planet
Jack Quillen Truer words have never been spoken and thank you for making a wonderful point
and he is 100% right too…..odumbass, Hillary and Kerry are directly responsible for the many fold increase in islamic terror, and all the blood that has been shed as a result…….voting for Hillary, is a vote in favor of more islamic terror, not less….
Czar Putin needs to explain what he was talking about! What our President has done was pushed the Embargo on the Invaders of Ukraine, no matter who they are and make are that We are not buying “Blood Oil” from evil Invaders of other Nations and who do not have American and the rest of the free World interest at heart.
Dumb and Dumber is what you got,
We should require the wealthy to fund our ears instead of profiting from them. Then we’ll see how many wars we engage in
You dont get to the level of “Running the free world” buy being a complete idiot. They know exactly what they are doing and how to do it. Everything that has happened is because the powers that be made it happen.
Jason Throttle Bruni So when someone states he doesn’t like what obama did and what he hasn’t done, RACE is the ONLY reason?
Who’s the REAL RACIST?
FYI obama had nothing to do with killing of Bin Laden. The SEALS were the heroes. That’s like saying Hillary killed him too. BOTH were sitting 5500 miles away in a safe bunker.
