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.
Siding with Putin over two US presidents………. you people can be brainwashed to believe pretty much anything
OBAMA–CLINTON AN KERRY BELONG IN PRISON .
Off moron….
He’s done the same to America.
We have violence, racism, poverty.
More in the last 8 years than we’ve had in 30 years
Darrin Belzman If you are talking about all these stupid liberals that need to be culled, I’m with you. They are just useful idiots and are of no use to anyone now.
bummer told the world, long be for he was elected prez, that he would stand with the moslims when the time was right. the fools elected him and the time became right.
these f%^king democrats set us back decades.
Russia has supported Assad for years. Irans entire nuclear program was supplied by Russia, as is their military arsenal. Their involvement in the region, whether it be with. Hamas, the defunct PLO, Libya, Egypt , and more…Russian involvement in the destabilization of the region in nothing new. Curiously, the article never mentions that the dictator Assad would not still be in power…thousands of deaths and refugees, would not have occurred without the support of the dictator Putin, his weapons and troops.
America has made numerous mistakes in the region. But make no mistake THIS is Russian propaganda. We do not embrace murderous dictators. Do not spin this into a Russian leader being smarter, or better than America. Don’t embrace the notion that we can learn anything from a dictator. That is contrary to every fabric of being American..Democracy… Freedom. We have made mistakes. They will be corrected, but not at the cost of propping up an enemy with praise and admiration.
Stephen Chavez Not brainwashed, just have the ability to think for ourselves, not follow a liberal cult such as you do.
Is anyone going to comment on the fact that America has invaded 48 nations since 1900 and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslim people in Muslim nations? At what point in time do you stop pretending we are the good guys.
A building filled with innocent Muslims destroyed by a bomb launched from a plane marked USAF or a drone taking our a Muslim wedding party is OK but please don’t kill our civilians in our country?
No country on the planet has killed more people on foreign soil or invaded more countries than America and we are the only ones who used nuclear and chemical weapons to do it.
You people truly need to stop talking about how bad the Muslims are until you get your bloodlust under control.
