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’m sorry, but I like this man. He has a strong character and should be respected for that at least. I would definitely want him on my side in a war, not against. The outgoing POTUS $#%&!@*of the United States) and the rest of the libtards are doing everything they can to start$#%&!@*with him over the election and try to disrupt Trump’s incoming presidency. I think Putin knows things will start to get better real fast after Jan. 20. and he’s really holding back right now. No doubt in my mind that if Hillary was the incoming one, we’d be in a world war probably even before her inauguration. We dodged a really fucking big bullet, can’t wait to start to make America great again.
Obama is not my president
So?
Hale Putin!! Hale Trump!!
“Order out of chaos” who the hell does he think he’skidding?
So$#%&!@*Obama and hid families. Lifetime losers.
Allen Acuff your the idiot. No ones praising a foreign leader. Only the liberal MSM creating that narrative for you lefties to ponder.
keep believing the Russians are your friends they hate your guts and they will show you soon enough don’t let bigotry and ignorance blind you
Funny how all of you conservatives who get off on calling Obama a dictator just salivate over the words of…a dictator.
You better go back and look at the record. Bush and Cheney et.al. decided it would be a good idea to democratize the Middle East. They didn’t know and didn’t care to know the region’s customs, history or mindset. Obama, trying to salvage the myth of American prestige, continued similar, if not exactly the same, policies that continue to bog us down in crises’ that simply aren’t our concern.
