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.
Narcissist Putin is a good one to talk. He supports Assad, who kills his own people but he does speak the truth about our leaders including idiot Bush who opened the can of worms.
Putin is a valid source of information, you can surely trust him, he has a history of being 100% honest and there is no such thing as propaganda in Russia……. /S
Obama and Kerry are so stupid Cant blame this Guy for Being Upset.
Oh Yes It Make them MORE DUMBER they have no BRAIN…
Media out to start trouble
You guys do realize all the hate, race baiting, and Obama slander all leads to one outcome right? Making money. As Republicans bash obama for his leadership, they have made millions off a black man being president of this country. Do you REALLY believe if the Republican party didn’t want a black man running this country, Obama would be President? Republicans are VERY good at twisting facts and bringing whatever groups, whether they be bigots, racists, right wing, left wing, etc., out of the woodwork they need to accomplish their own endgoals. Wake up already. Career politicians are our countries problem, not obama.
The Obama administration have set up the entire world for a holocaust.
Cathleen Mcbride Where did you get One Nation Under God? The Under God part was never part of the original Pledge of Allegiance. It was forcibly added by none other than Joseph McCarthy in 1954. He threatened to add Congressional members onto his Communist blacklist unless they voted to add it. He thought it should be added to differentiate the US from Russia whom he mistakenly thought were all atheists.
Conor Welch Russia is our biggest enemy?
You’re wrong right from the start. I’m not going to bother explaining who the biggest enemy is, because you don’t seem to be able to see the forests for the trees.
This IS their foreign policy. Exactly as planned.
