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.
The people who live or used to live in the middle East should have a hatred for Obama, Clinton and Kerry beyond anyone else. These three people have caused this region to be destabilized, cause millions of people to be either killed or displaced, and have destroyed cities that were built over centuries. These three individuals should be very afraid of retribution by those victims.
We must embrace Putin as our new God!! And Trump is his minion. Quick, let’s sacrifice a virgin before it’s too late!
Only one ignorant of history would buy into such complete nonsense as that being offered by this website like this.
The relationship between the Russians & Iran has existed since the Iranian revolution in 1979. The current power vacuum in the region respecting Iran was created by destabilizing the counterweight of Iraq [with ISIS being fueled & led by disaffected Baathists]. The same could be said of Afghanistan. It is true that revolutionary efforts in Libya overestimated their ability to establish a stable, functioning government, and the same could be said of the fragmented elements in Syria. In this last regard, tho, I don’t remember the US being INVITED onto Syrian soil OR troops on the ground or even punitive bombing raids being supported by the GOP caucus in EITHER house of Congress. While we’re on the subject, tho, explain to me why WE should be the ones investing OUR blood & treasure toward protecting a Syrian regime that’s been providing space for Russian naval assets for some time now?
Hussein is going to cause problems all the way to his last day
Susan Flynn Absolutely, Susan Flynn!
Russia doesn’t share a border with Syria, so when the article makes the statement that Putin has moved his military to the Syrian border I call b******t on the article. The states that border Syria-Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Iraq are not going to allow Russian forces in their respective countries. Russia has a Naval base and several airfields inside Syria, so they don’t need these other countries for anything. The only country that has troops on the border is Turkey-and they are more concerned with the PKK (Kurds) than Assad or ISIS. I love tabloid f**e news-but what happened to wherewolf boy and naked pics of the royal family stinking drunk?
Unlike Obama, Putin is a REAL Commander In Chief!
I doubt if the innocent people slaughtered by Putin would agree with you ?
Putin the KGB agent, a tyrant who murders political enemies, jails journalists and bombs hospital filled with children in Syria calling out America. What a joke. You Russian Army social media trolls who makw up thiese lies would have fit right in with the$#%&!@*propaganda machine.
Putin is correct. The Arab spring was the brain child of the current dumb$#%&!@*in the whitehouse.
