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.
Facebook, I thought you were going to get rid of F**E news stories like this one. Look below to see what uneducated people want to believe is true. I am so ashamed of the “patriots” on this post looking to RUSSIA (of all the horrible examples of leadership and country) because of tripe like this.
I’m not sure if it could have been expressed better.
F**e news.
Bush started all of this$#%&!@*with his invasion of Iraq for no reason.
we need to think like they do….this politically correct stuff is one of the many problems…we need a strong leader that the world will respect and i think we got that in Donald Trump…i’m not saying he is perfect by no means…but he loves this country…and our military which is something u can’t say for obama and his wife…neither liked or respected the United States of America..
Whats really scary about posts like this one is that more and more conservatives are favoring and support putin. Putin is a thug and a.communist. putin is not our friend, and never was our friend you dont see people in tehran shouting death to putin bc the two countries are practically the same. Both are not allies to the united states and both are regimes. Reagan is rolling over in his grave right now . I despise obama and what he has done, but americans need to keep theor eyes open about putin
I believe a foreign leader over our President as far as being truthful…. I never thought I d feel like that in my life. Obama is an “Obomiation to our country” and embarrassment and outright Anti American narcissist!
OBAMA IS A TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY AND SHOULD BE CONVICTED OF SUCH..
WTF. When conservatives start to honor a dictator befriending another dictator actively helping annihilate a civilian population, to maintain a unpopular brutal regime, I have no idea where this country is going. Is the author saying we should have backed Assad? Done another Bushian regime change , and have another Iraq again. Or he should have magically made it go away. Russia will probably have their hands full for years trying to prop up Assad There are no simple answers in the Middle East.
Hes right about obama but putin is not our friend.
