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.
I will disagree about Bush and Chaney being “like” Assad and Putin. These are killers at personal level. At times pulling the trigger themselves. Trust them? And you die. Bush and Chaney made poor desisions that cost lives. Obama so fearing mistakes has been guilty at times of failing to act. Trump and his supporters are right about that. Maybe there is no winning at the job. You’re damned if you do you’re damned if you don’t.
Yep. Putin’s a hero who barrel-bombs civilians. Don’t disagree with him, or he’ll slip polonium into your tea.
Yeah it sure is funny how in the last 8 years every government agency in our country has been hacked and Hillary’s illegal server was hacked numerous times and that was no big deal but now since Trump won the election it’s a big deal to spend millions of tax dollars on a so called hack of the election by the Russians. These libtard idiots will stop at nothing to prove nothing. Lol
Obama’s legacy, lies, deceit and failure.
At least Trump won’t sell us out to the highest bidder!
Rosemary Stanifer Bost lol. He’s already taking bids.
Or maybe peace is possible between nations who respect each other? Nations who work together instead of trying to get in each other’s business. If you’re getting your news from these liberal networks, you’ll never know, will you?
Wow. All the ignorant comments from people that think Putin is fighting Isis. Lol
He’s fighting Syrian Rebels trying to overthrow Assad. He’s not fighting Isis at all.
Fools.
well for those that followed the Arab Springs crisis well we need to look to the nations who helped the Bush Administration in the two wars. It was fully reported on the military news as the Dictators worked with US and wow the nations had many tortured as they were transported to other nations by US. Yes Putin hated the Obama Administration for putting him in his place and he was politely and professionally put in his place by Secretary of State Clinton. Pay back as Putin fixed and stole the US election for his puppet Trump and now we learn it was with the help of leaders in the Republican party.
Yup. You got that right.
