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.
Andrew you must be a democrat….most of you are just plumb dumb or as ignorant as they come….
MY SON SAYS PUTIN IS EVIL.
Oh David David .please live up to what your profile says you were….
His illusions of fixing the economy and bombing Isis while being called a communist and Muslim by an ignorant, large group, of uninformed rednecks that celebrate Putin who actually is a communist that isn’t bombing Isis as much as he’s given credit for?
Diana i suppose there is no cure for stupid is there ?
Obama probably plans on taking over the U.N. when he leaves the White House in shambles!
The middle east is a mess but I believe the turmoil was started by the Iraq War, which was an ill conceived mistake from the start, which was my position from the start. How could any intelligent person believe that they could achieve nation building in the Arab World.
you can all say what you want but I do not want any wars fought on american soil . i would like my grandchildren to have the same feeling of safety that we all had growing up. and i just dont feel that they will unless things change.
good call
Yes, he does realize.
