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 love Putin. I always have. Tells it like it is.
Marcia Andes Kulp and your o”pinion went into the realm of “no one cares”.. why.. ? botching ppls name is unkool and actually hurts your argument… well with intelligent ppl.. I have 0 love for trump but same thing goes to dems that botch his name..unkool is unkool.. regardless
The question in the article is like the ‘Lady or the Tiger’: Do Obama, Clinton and Kerry not know what they have done with the ‘Arab Spring’, or do they know exactly what they have done?”
NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE UN. THEY THINK THEY WILLL RULE THE WORLD. LET’S SHOW THEM THAT’S NOT THE CASE. GET THE US OUT OF THE UN AND GET THE UN OUT OF THE USA.
Neil Reich to help you maintain your level of superiority, Trump is spelled with a capital “T”…I didn’t botch nobama…and uncool is much more intelligent looking than unkool..EOD
Of course they realize what they’ve done – exactly what they set out to do.
kerry, killary and obummer have basically opened up the middle east and spread them across the world. They have wreaked havoc around the world as a result. To the WORLD, america officially apologizes for obama. not kidding.
my thoughts are that putin should log onto the walmart website and put in for a lifetime supply order of this for the people most responsible for the declining stability of the middle east while he fixes the problem. https://www.walmart.com/tp/colon-cleanse
Lets not forget who was responsible for arming the rebels in syria, hillary clinton who also wanted to use military force to enforce a no fly zone in syria which would have escalated into ww3. But republicans are crazy for wanting to repair relations with the russians, when did the left suddenly become the warmongers? Seems about the same time the DNC started blaming Russia for the snowflakes not getting their way.
Paul Harmer I personally am happy we didn’t push the line in the sand. We would have thousands of dead soldiers fighting Assad, Russia and ISIS right now. So you are ok with Russia killing thousands of innocent civilians, I get it.
