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.
Walt Henderson …. Really !!! Here’s a news flash for you …. not all of our husbands , wives , children, etc have come home a good many of them are still over there . And as for him saving the auto industry, Why was Ford getting ready to move to Mexico , Why have so many of big businesses moved out of our country ? As for Trump going to shut down our economy, Why has he saved 3 companies from leaving . Time to crawl out of you safe place , give the puppy back ,put down the Kool-aid and stop being a sheep .

Well said.
Obama doesn’t care. He is a narcissistic psychopath Marxist Dictator hell bent on destroying the USA even if it starts a war.
Obama and his minions (Kerry, Clinton, etc) are bungling buffoons and not ready for prime time. They are also incapable of accepting the fact that they are incompetent fools.
This article takes facts that could have turned into a useful story and instead turns them into a pile of politically biased, politically motivated horse effluent. Again. Way to go, sniveling trolls at Truth And Action. Trying to “airdrop” a Western concept of democracy into an ignorant, mostly illiterate, feudal dicatorship, religious or otherwise, has NEVER worked in all the times American Presidents have tried it. So it’s not particularly an Obama “regime” (note a negative thing is a “regime,” while a positive one is some other word like “administration” or simply “government”) issue. It’s equally true of GW Bush and most administrations going back to Eisenhower’s effort to augment the French in South Vietnam. Jefferson said democracy won’t work without an informed electorate, and that’s the part we always skip over. What’s most true is that any country will get the worst government it will tolerate, regardless of ideology. So the fact Putin pointed out the downside of our longstanding assumptions is true, and he’s right about a vacuum (created mainly during the early 2000s and I’m trying not to name the President) but it doesn’t make Putin Einstein, and it doesn’t make him a good guy. He is very pragmatically playing the other side because it’s easier for him to deal with stable dictatorships. Period. And he’s a neighbor. He’s feathering his own nest and also focused on restoring Russia’s dominance in its part of the world. LET’S NOT paint Putin’s own politically motivated speeches as some kind of revelation. Go ask him why he took the Crimean peninsula. (John Fagan, I got back into town and saw that you left a comment on one of my other posts–my comment here sort of responds to your point too, I think. USA has a rich history of bull-in-a-china-shop efforts in the Middle East. Jimmy Carter did better, but Americans didn’t like him.)
Exactly ! I’ve seen this manifestng for years.They are close to fulfilling their NWO agenda and Trump was a wrench thrown in by We The People that would greatly slow down their plans and are doing everything possible to stop Trump .Pray for him because the last attempt very well could be an assassination.
Here soon you will see American women looking for Russian husbands

I just want my friends to see that I commented so they will read this. The ones that need it the most won’t
