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 DOUBT obama KNOWS MUCH OF ANYTHING & JUST LIKES TO ACT LIKE A ‘HOT SHOT & then it back fires on ALL OF US!!!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT UNTIL HE IS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!
Viva Putin!
Yep…that’s pretty sad! We are laughingstocks!
All Three Should Be Brought Up On Treason Charges: Obama, Clinton AND Kerry!!!
These guys are so into criticizing the Democratic leaders of US (who may be far from perfect) that they will stand on their heads & laud Putin’s pronouncements at the UN with implicit support for tyrannical reaction to faulty ‘Arab spring’ movement toward more representative government? I guess they would have really trashed those pesky Hungarians & Czechs who irresponsibly rose against the communist block$#%&!@*of their countries..
While I respect him as a serious adversary and more serious because of the misdeeds of the foreign meddling done in the past eight years, some times he’s right. I don’t know how we’ll re build trust.
haha brilliant is right, Donald is putting in his good ole boys as cabinet members. His Energy Sec pick is my favorite. Currently we have a guy that has a phd, is a nuclear physicist, and was voted in 97-0 by the Senate to be SoE. None of them said no, they were resoundingly behind the choice. And now we get Rick Perry. Donald is for sure brilliant, but not in the way you think. He’s brilliant like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
No one wants to bring in ISIS. ISIS is no more representative of all Muslims than Dylan Roof was of all christians/
