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.
Hey Jimmy, Maybe it’s time to try another country since you’re tied of this one! I’m sure Russia could use a few good men in their army for peace!
Your brain is waterlogged from spend to much time in that pool!
Hey Johnny, thanks for the words of encouragement but russia is to cold…if I could get the family to move it would be to central America….took many mission trips there. If you have lived in russia you definitely would see for real how the country is run and not what you have been feed by the media and our state department all the years….russia fights aggression just like america does when it comes to protecting their interests also. Unfortunately america does not fight anymore. Money buys protection but that isn’t working lately either….but just sit back on your patriotic posterior and take care of yourself….have a great day…….
Alot’s changed since Dec 25
I think he knew exactly what he did, I think kit was his plan and agenda.
In case you missed it, this is the same Putin that was quoted as saying he could destroy America in 30 minutes. And you support him and call yourself Americans? Go crawl back to your caves.
Hope he didn;t make Obama cry.
Sorry Putin, but the middle east was broken before we got there. But by all means, waste all your time and resources trying to fix it. It worked out so well for you the last time.
When the Russians are telling us to protect our 2A rights and our own government wants to “regulate” firearms, you know you need a gun.
Don’t let these fools divide you amongst yourselves! Everyone knows that Bush and Cheney invaded Iraq at the alarm of Mass Destruction intelligence. They found no WMD’s so they concentrated on taking their oil. Bush left a vacuum for Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda left room for ISIS. Now they have spread out like cockroaches around the world. “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” as Bush proclaimed.
