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 am waiting for his response to the murder of a diplomat in Ankara.
When Americans start to make a Russian murderer a hero, that’s when we have to rethink who we are as a nation
He is not fighting Isis- he is fighting with Assad to murder his own people.
Kathy Reynolds , 30-35 yrs ago, the Left was fawning over Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev and describing Nancy Reagan as a Witch and Ronald Reagan as a war monger! Funny how the script has flipped.
He has done exactly what he set out to do and Dinesh D’Souza made a movie predicting this.
Who gives a$#%&!@*what this criminal thinks? There was a time when Republicans actually thought that Russia was our rival, not our own countrymen. This guy is a murderous p***k and Trump wants to suck him off. Reagan must be turning over in his grave.
F**e news site,$#%&!@*clowns.
Mike Scurlock I have no white guilt because I’m not racist. I’m from a mixed family. I’ve just never seen the severity of racial divide first hand until Obama when black dummies were hanging and burning, signs saying hang in there Obama, comments like I don’t want a gorilla in my WHITE HOUSE. Do you still really think Obama caused that, no sir it’s never left since the civil rights movement. It’s just been under the sheets until a black president took office then racism came back with full vengeance. Now it’s accepted since Trump. I’m assuming you’re not a fan of people of color? Just an assumption not an accusation…
Also Mike Scurlock the first deficit was created by Reagan then increased by Bush Sr although with a plan set in to balance it. Clinton just had the pleasure of keeping it in place, still created by Republicans…
I love ❤️ Putin!
