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.
take your meds
Glenn McEnroe meanwhile trump is will do just that by giviing everything for the 1% and scraps to everyone else.,. pfft Obama took care of the financial mess that bush ppl did
I like how you use the adjective ‘girl’ as a pejorative term. Way to minimize over 50% of the US population
He’s a murderer.
Are you such bigots, that you are blind to the fact, that Putin has the blood of women and children in the Ukraine and Syria on his hands. He is a thug and he intends to bully the coward Trump.
HaHaHaHaHa, please crawl back into your safe space and let REAL men handle the World problems The pajama boys are through, Alpha males are about to take over. Much to sissy boys like yours dismay!
Nice lead in Randy. That’s like slapping your wife in the face and saying, “can’t we be civilized?”. I am no fan of Putin but I am baffled by the naivety exercised by the Obama administration in regards to the Arab spring. When the President supported The Muslim Brotherhood over Mumbarak he set off a chain of events that destabilized the region, emboldened extremist views of Islam. In regards to Trump being a coward? He’s shown to be alot of things, coward is not one of them. Your take is amateur hour that wreaks of progressive ideologue. I recommend critical thinking and pragmatism.
To tell you the truth they don’t care. Bottom line. Their just greedy disgusting pos
Time for Trump and Putin to put a stop to this reign of terror. We are ready to do our part now that we have someone who won’t cower in a corner.
Russia is just as much involved in the Middle East as the U.S.
I think Putin and Trump will get along just fine!
Oh my here goes the hurt feeling society again.
