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 proof is not there…..if there was proof don’t you think they would be spilling it from the roof tops to get Trump out? They have none, just f**e news as usual…and Putin will have none of it. “O” is sealing the fate of all Americans by doing this….pathetic.
The ultimate result when academics and lawyers run the government.
I don’t trust Putin.
Bye bye bumma
I think Putin & Assad are the main reason for Syrian refugees crisis
Truth!
Bye bye liberals. Nobody believes anything you say now and you have nobody to blame but your media and yurselves.
This article really shows how the right has become one with mother Russia. I realize you all hate Obama, but to praise Putin for the way they iare killing civilians with his form of war is sad. Arab spring has nothing to do with us and would have changed Syria, removed Assad, if Russia hadn’t backed Assad. Well truth and action, you have shown your love for mother russia. What has America come too?
Hey! The US has tried to settle down the middle east for 70+ years. Haven’t succeeded yet. It’s a lost cause. The people have been born into war, it is their natural state of being. They also have such faith in their respective religion they have a hard time accepting any change toward peace.
No one will be able to fix it without harsh measures, forcing people to obey.
