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.
Kerry wasn’t invited to the Syrian conference because the US wants Assad out of office. Bush wanted to take Iraq to put a western style democracy in a strategic place in the Middle East to keep Russia and Iran from moving in and controlling the area. Kermit Roosevelt was the one that fouled all the Middle East up to maintain a steady oil supply to the US. The Secretary of State told him to get out of the Middle East but the oil industry kept him there. That’s when this whole mess started.
obama is clueless
Obama the sodomite
Jack Maggard Bahahahaha
Wow full circle! Putin is a tyrant who can’t be trusted but I guess now in Trump World he is the standard. Do yourselves a favor and stop quoting a communist. This is America right? Bush sucked Obama sucked and Trump is gonna suck
A person that can’t spell losers and ridiculous shouldn’t call others idiots.
I think it ought to be open season on towel heads
Hookers suck too but they charge.
Just talked to a guy who lived in Russia for last 20 years. he said you would all be welcome to move to Russia & live under Putin’s rule but he will stay here with Obama & Bush and anybody other than Putin. So nothing like action to prove your point.
Just crazy to think that our leadership has gone that far on both the Democrat and Republican side where Americans are looking towards a communist dictator as their sense of reason I find it foolish and stupid
