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.
And just who do you think supports those groups….. Yep you guessed it O-Bomb-A
obummer needs to be called out
It is a shame that Atheist Russia is the only country that defends Christians in the Middle East……while the largest Christian nation in the world arms and backs radical Muslims as they murder, rape and ruin Christian settlements in every Muslim country…..
Well said!
Wow. Republicans and conservatives lecturing others about screwing up the middle east. That’s a joke right?
It’s Obama’s fault that Bush and the GOP Congress invaded Iraq. Wow. Funny to be lectured by the right about how to handle the middle east.
Charles Hardisky so you are saying we haven’t killed hundreds of thousands of muslims and invaded Muslim nations. How far are your heads up your asses
You are brainwashed. Trump will be impeached by his own party and the dems. Another repub with no ties to Russia will be put in, like Kasich. But the middle-class, the poor, and the retirees will all lose money with repubs in power. Repubs just help the rich and started the war in Iraq, which brought on Isis. Keep your guns handy because you might ser the repubs take your guns so the rich can rule America and take away the first amendment, freedom of speech. Trump is nuts. He wants to be a dictator. He would take away guns. He lies all the time. I’d rather live in a peaceful democratic socialist country than a dictatorship. Trump wants to take away minimum wage. We’ll end up being slaves. Read the book 1984
you are asking that to a mindless muzzie? WhY
He has no idea at all. Such a “Whimp” !!
