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.
You think liberal ideology and democracy are the same when in fact it’s democracy that has chastened liberal ideology because they wish to force their minority views on the public.
They don’t understand Sharia law, and if they did, they wouldn’t call those who oppose it islamaphobes.
Tell me how you oppose Sharia law and yet the opposition of Sharia law is islamaphobia?
The nuance is understanding my the dogma of Islam, which….No doubt…..The average liberal and conservative alike know very little.
I am certainly no traitor. Obama had aided and abetted our enemies. Calls terrorist attacks workplace violence. Murder cops he takes the side of this who killed them. So yes Putin is more believable than Obama. Trump will restore honesty and integrity to the office of the Presidency.
No doubt, Putin is going to be a fine President of the United States.
Dean Johnson sounds like traitor talk to me. Mind you most of the DoD still considers Russia to be our prime enemy. You admire Putin…go live in Russia.
Good for Putin. See he doesnt have to kiss anyones$#%&!@*nor be political correct. He calls it like he sees it n lays it out. Obama n his pc oh$#%&!@*people r now done. Thank god. Trump n Putin can work together n get$#%&!@*done in the ME
yeah obama, DO YOU ???????
Slava Gurdzhi koolaid time.
Rob Greuling Really. Infowars? WTF?
Woah. Dean is being honest. That doesn’t make him a communist (not that communism is bad). It doesn’t make him an idiot either. He didn’t say he thinks the US should be communist. Nothing like that. “You people” are stuck in a weird mindset. Our media is partially to blame for sure. You can tell listening to Putin that he’s over the covert governing. He’s bored with it. Now he’s making the go to tactics our CIA uses look stupid. How many times can we be fooled by the same tricks? Apparently… quite a few times… More for some than others.
Yep no original thought. Because if you’ve heard it before it’s nothing new. I really don’t care what you think. I’m just like everyone else that voted for him I don’t care about other people I’m just like Trump I only care about me and mine and I really don’t want the government telling how or what to think or do.
