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.
One can only laugh at how easily folks are lead. ISIS is an off shoot of the Iraqi War. Displaced Sunni from when Bush kicked out the Sunni leader, Saddam, and turned the country over to the Shiites. Arab Spring is not the same thing.
I agree, Obama has done nothing to make true improvement, everything he has done was a failure before it started. I was a fool, I pushed for him before his first term, but after the first year I realized I had made a horrible mistake, He lied about everything, he brought a small handful of our guys home, the largest portion are still in place. Obama care is a disaster, 85 million dollars on vacations… Which by the way could have housed possibly housed upwards of a thousand homeless children, or VETS…. I’ve never been a fan of Putin, but his perspective of our nation is close to dead on, our people are willingly ignorant of every bit of truth in fear of having to admit to being wrong… I have also never been a fan of Trump… But he knows money, and I am certain he will make jobs and debt improve dramatically. Time will tell, I am for America, the greatest nation in Earth… I am not for any party with the exception of the American people
Russians are way more in line with American values then Any of the Muslim nations Obama & Clinton’s love so much.
Not as much as the Clinton cartel owes the Muslims…
We need a distraction on this. I got it, let’s blame Putin for illegally hacking the DNC and exposing Hiliary’s illegal activities and swaying the election. That should do it.
So true tressa
This explains George’s issue….
Richard Hengy name a Muslim country, give an example. It’s not about Russians, it’s about the Putin government, just as it’s not about Israelis, but rather the current Netanyahu government.
Putin is 3 times better than Obummer and Killary ever thought they could be… GO TRUMP United States next President…
Please just ignore the idiot, Mr. Putin. He’s an embarassment but thankfully his time in office is short.
