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.
If you think Russia wants a peaceful friendship with the United States…. I think it’s a pipe dream. Never going to happen.
How about Richard Engle? NBC war correspondent in Allepo get bombed? Might want to listen to him? Or is he a leftist media Whore who’s sole journalistic duty is to advance left agenda? I don’t see any Breitbart correspondents in arms way. Right Wing nonsense has some serious credibility issues.
Well he’s already ticked off China. That’s a wonderful start.
He’s already said he’s not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton

Brent Milway what is this barrow you speak of… learn to spell
It is disheartening knowing my president enabled the slaughter of so many woman and children. We could have done something about it, but my president didn’t have the experience needed, nor the willingness to listen to those who know about the Middle East that this has happened.
One carrier for 14 days could have made it so Assad couldn’t put up an airplane or helo. We could have eliminated every offensive air asset Assad owned. This we could have done before Putin would have been able to stop us. While he was playing nice with the world during the Olympics, we could have desimated Assads ability to wage war on his people from the air.
I, as a enlisted puke, understand we could have done this. We had the assets. We had the ability. We had the training. We even knew innocent lives were being harmed. What we didn’t have was a president, my president, who was willing to protect innocent lives.
He was playing a stupid college academic game of theoritical discussions with the lives of the Middle East. It has moved to Europe. My president does not care what he wrought. This is his mess. It is our mess. It is my mess because my president would rather golf than protect lives.
I have to say this about my president because this is what my president did. The buck stops with him. Good or bad. For the world, which is claims he is more supportive of than America, he was terrible. So the thing he claims he cared most about the global union, he failed.
So what did my president do that was a success of merit? Well, when he was golfing he wasn’t making more bad decisions. So I guess the more he golfed and the more vacations he went on the safer the world was?
No Race Card. Truth. You Idiots Prasing a Foreign leader who will Play Trump like a Fine Violin BEFORE He takes what he wants from the US. WHAT A BUNCH OF MORONS.
Troy Massey President Trump “won’t back down from anyone”?
Sure he will.He will back down from Russia.He is a$#%&!@*who will NEVER badmouth Russia,because they most likely OWN him,which is why he won’t release his tax returns.
Trump isn’t some tough guy hero-he’s a$#%&!@*who used the rich kid way to get out of the military,and who is not man enough to call out Russia,because he is scared of Putin,he most likely owes them a LOT of money.
