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.
Republicans and democrats alike understood the need for Saddam to stay in power. Only the fools bush2 put in charge thought he should be taken out. We could have taken out Saddam the first time, but Bush sr. Had the understanding of the middle east political structures. America did not go after Assad, his own people did. By helping them we would possibly have gained another ally in the area and taken some away from Iran and Russia. Pay attention to all of this and not the one liners you are fed by the right wing propaganda machine. They don’t give you ALL the info you need to understand any situation.
Have you lost your damn mind ? Assad is a secular leader he was the only leader in the Middle East who accepted all religions which kept the peace. Obama and Hillary wanting to overthrow Assad at the beginning made no sense. Obama just fueled the killing by supporting the opposition. Now , Putin will take the credit for slowing the killing and making us look bad. Obama never listens to anybody. This could have probably ended before it got out of hand with the depths of Syrian deaths. Now we got a Caliphate in Iraq feeding the fire and Muslims taking over Europe fulfilling their Caliphate ,taking over vast amount of land and people to seal the prophecy. O
Fred Holnagel You are an$#%&!@*Fred. Just an$#%&!@*
David Thomas got real quite there didn’t u
Roger Aldi as with Killary, he was claimed to be the most respected by a completely liberal media……
What happens when you put a Jr Senetor and community organizer in charge of foreign affairs. And he mocked Romney for saying Russia was a threat.
Obama you Traitor
Maybe Putin Will publish Obama because our country won’t
The Arab Spring was symbolic of fundamental liberal beliefs.
It’s collosal failure proves that liberal ideology is not compatible with other cultures or world views.
Even in America……Where the historic political push back has overwhelmingly stripped liberals of social and political clout.
Their ideology has been rebuked, world wide….Even in their home country.
For some reason they’re shocked. Shocked by Hillary’s loss. Shocked by the failure of the polls. Shocked by electors voting no faith 5-2 against Hillary…..Their last hope.
Meanwhile they call everyone bigots and racists. Their definition of freedom is to believe, think, and act…..Only according to their beliefs. Anything else isn’t tolerable. They espouse multiculturalism but only if it reflects their singular interpretation of what is…Or isn’t…..Culturally acceptable.
In the end I guess it doesn’t matter what they believe. Nobody is going to infringe on their beliefs. At the same time, nobody is going to let their beliefs infringe on our own.
Hopefully they at least learned that.
B******t. Anyone who buys this garbage needs to change the freaking channel. Another post designed to make all republicans look like idiots. It’s an embarrassment to clear-thinking conservatives.
