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.
yes obama does know what he has done and he want to destroy more and the usa people did not elect obama the elites placed obama in office to destroy the usa
What pisses me off are those who take advantage of it and use the system like a job. NOT TOO BAD AROUND 3% TOTAL FRAUD. http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/ http://federalsafetynet.com/welfare-fraud.html
Whatever you think about the man and his actions he nailed it about President Obama and his Adminstration ! (President??? I still respect the office not necessarily the man)
Sharon Earlywine if that makes me a commie so be it. I CALL ANYONE WHO THINKS PUTIN IS A GOOD LEADER AND SAYS HE’S BETTER THAN WHAT WE GOT. I CALL YOU A COMMIE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE A MAN WHO CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID THE DAY BEFORE OVER OUR OWN GOVERNMENT”S INTELLIGENCE. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/10/21/17-intelligence-agencies-russia-behind-hacking/92514592/
No pc bars there… Straight up.
If you think Putin is honest, I have a bridge for sale in California cheap.
New Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security?
How low this country has fallen when Putin looks like the good guy.
Really ? Your a idiot guess you still have your free Obama phone get ready to give it back and find a job. GO TRUMP. It’s sad how the democrats have run this country in the ground.
Richard Gibbs I speak the truth. Obama himself said Muslim is his faith and he continually puts Americans at risk to benefit Muslim jihadists entering our country. Add to that while living in Chicago, his regular attendance at Man Country, a gay bathhouse and all his policies, regulations and executive orders clearly socialistic. The man is a fraud who uses a silken tongue to fool the uninformed.
