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.
Sharon Earlywine I see you like to use google to look up information! That’s good, but I’m studying Constitutional law and executive power does not mean what you think it does. Since you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about I’m just gonna wish you a merry Christmas. Hopefully you learn that your biased Fox News is brainwashing you and 90% of information from mainstream media is lies or half truths. Good day.
ignore him Putin, we did for 8 years
Obama will soon be gone. Putin is just flexing his muscles.
Arab Spring was used to put the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of Egypt…to be an enemy of Israel. There is no hiding what our Muslim president wants.
You effers are all traitors. Move to Russia if you love Putin so much. You’re pathetic.
No Vladimir he does not realize anyhing, he’s 2 points above Biden in IQ and 7 points above Howard Dean…
They must teach you liberal law. I have a degree in law. You keep watching your CNN and all the liberal news
Thank you President Putin. I always thought you were a good man.
One of the first things Trump needs to do is cut off all American support of rebel extremist groups. Obama has been arming the very militant Islamists that seek war with non-Muslims. The second thing Trump needs to do, is back Russia and the Assad regime. There’s a reason Russia has supported Assad. When the world powers unite against ISIS, Al-Nusra and Islamic extremism, these vermin will be exterminated swiftly. Obama is a fucking traitor who should be brought to justice.
It’s not about picking Putin over our country. It’s about the truth.
