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.
Putin should be calling out George Soros everyone know these special interests control Washington.
The racial divide in America goes back to 1619. Even with the Civil War (where the North was fighting against cheap slave labor, and the South fighting to keep it), Americans never actually said that America’s treatment for people of color was wrong.
So miss me with blaming Obama for racial division: it was here long before him, and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do to fix it except not black.
I’d rather the USA buy oil from Russia, than some rag head country in the middleast being tight with Russia makes sense
Iranians are not screaming against Obama but about those conservatives who want to blow Iran yo pieces!
David Thomas you need to read a lot deeper
And Trump is not a globalist! My God if you’re going to argue get your facts from other than Facebook.
“Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!” ” Maybe not but you do see the Turkish police assassinating Russian diplomats and shouting remember Aleppo Remember Syria. Russia is not doing anybody favors except Russia and even that is questionable.
Let me know when the fascism gets here
Brent C Lundell just fyi (not trying to be a smart$#%&!@*, it is “indictment”.
Roger Flanigan You really need to do some research. The intelligence that Bush relied on was flawed. General Asada , the 2nd in command in Iraq, said there WERE WMD’s and the reason we did not get them is that there were MONTHS of time to do so. Chemical weapons WERE used on those people. Was Bush perfect? NO. But he made the decision based on the intel he got – from several sources.
