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.
Brent McIntosh Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Walt Henderson , no people are not standing on “bread lines” that is because under your president, (I will be just like the whiny snowflakes who took to the streets recently and say he is not MY President) the number of Americans on food stamps rose dramatically. By the way, those food stamps are being paid for by my tax dollars and every person working their a** off to support themselves and their families. Obama is simply the worst president in the history of the United States. If Hillary had won, I would not say he was a failure, because he would have been successful in “fundamentally changing America”, That is the main reason I am glad Trump won. Obama and Clinton are responsible for What is going on in Syria today. Since they supported the “Arab Spring”. I am hard pressed to find truly “Democratic” muslm majority countries. The two ideologies seem to be at odds with each other. This administration has been at war with our allies and supportive of our enemies. After the fall of communism, we were basically informed that Russia was no longer our enemy. Today under this administration they are insisting they are once again. I may not trust Putin completely but I have found myself agreeing with him on more issues than I do with this administration. It is much better to try to work with Putin and Russia than to be in a state of animosity with them.
Oat Meal Thank you! Very well stated!
