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.
Ya, George Bush didn’t have any involvement with instability in the middle east….okie dokey.
I find myself not so impressed with Putin jumping on the band wagon with Climate control and the U.N. Both of which are a heist of freedom of citizens regardless of which country we speak of. First science debunks global warming and second it’s not everyday people doing the most pollution, it’s big corporations that has polluted streams, rivers and oceans as well as air and land dump sites / land fills. U.N. is a branch of elite driven by greed, control and Anti-population as well as dictatorship! In hopes that Russia was advancing in individual freedoms and rights of the people, it seems they too are wrapped up in the U.N. agenda ~
Obummer has done exactly what he had in mind to do when he became president. Destroy America & he and his cronies have done just that;
Dang he’s sexy. I swear the more he talks the more attractive he gets.
no vlad and this moron leader of ours does not care either
Pjtin has always been the hero and so is Russia, the strongest Christian state in the world.
You’d listen to Putin?
He did what George Soros told him
I don’t ever remember the Russians shooting up a theatre or clinic or blowing anything up over in the US They look like the defenders of the world right now.
It is sad that folks think that Pution is anything other than ruthless thug and dictator and that our president should be like him. DO YOU HAVE CLUE? Putin is supporting the Assad regime, which, in the tradition of the Assad family is, just like Putin, a ruthless bunch of dictators. And so we are wrong to support those in the Arab world who want freedom and democracy? Incredible!
