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.
YES . . .Putin is right. Some say it was due to Obama’s incompetance . . .but more and more . . . I feel it was intentional. Obama set out to destroy this nation . . . from “within” . . . and damn near succeeded. He is NOT done yet !!
Well just like most liberals and hillary supporters the name calling come out. Maybe you need to understand your facts before you go with the name calling but I would expect no less from a person who likes obama and hillary.
Sharon Earlywine Obama isn’t a great president, but how is he weak?? And no duh he passes federal laws with pen and paper, congress creates the law, he either approves or vetoes…. And his executive orders have to go through congress and the Supreme Court… Jesus Christ it’s unbelievable how ignorant you are. I can see why Trump, with his populist message won. I honestly am starting to regret voting for him because of ignorant and uneducated people like you.
I am sure you have all the answers so everyone in the world is wrong but your from the United Kingdom so you are right.
To rid the world of ISIS . . . .I believe Trump is right. Together with Russia . . .for a common cause . . . to rid the world of the scourge of Radical Islam . . . better to have Russia “with us . . . than against us” . . .. .peace and respect is possible. Every 4 years . . . the world comes together for the olympics . . .why not throughout every year? Keep in mind . . . . at one time, Germany, Italy and Japan were a problem . . . now . . . .they are members of the family of FREEDOM . We will respect and defend those nations as our “own”.
Kevin Fleming yes, and I am sure everyone has something on someone else. I am now referring to congress.
What kind of rat bag traitors would believe this b******t article and a Communist KGB agent about anything? Anyone buys into this false load of c**p is a true idiot. TRUTHANDACTION dot org is NOT a news source but click bait for racists here. Still can’t get past a black man in the white house with the best presidential score on record.
Executive Orders do not require Congressional approval to take effect but they have the same legal weight as laws passed by Congress. The President’s source of authority to issue and you call me stupid.
It’s all part of his Islamic-Muslim Plan, Divide and Conquer! Create all the Chaos he can before leaving office. Easy to see and hear. What a Snake!
Putin’s trying to soften us up for the takeover of another country by Russia. How can Trump dare to lift sanctions Russia when it’s been proved they were tampering with the election of our president? We can’t let Russia keep swooping in and taking over unstable countries, no matter who’s making them unstable in the first place. Trump can’t get soft on Russia or they’ll grow into an international menace like the former Soviet Union.
