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.
Nothing new. We want something new.
I believe that our new president and his administration will restore the United State’s greatness and respect. He will stand up to the rest of the world, he will tell the truth and he will not apologize…
well said, we have known for years that obutthead is an IDIOT. out next president will be far more competant in dealing with Putin and the rest of the world…One Big$#%&!@*Mistake America…..hope has finally arrived after 8 very long years…
The Democraps have so damaged the country I used to love that when the Russian leader speaks it caries more weight and makes people here rejoice!
Omg!! There are some truly scary posts here. Are we actually looking up to a murderous Russian dictator?? Watch a little more Fox News why don’t you all!
This was Ostupid’s plan all along . He and Clinton created Isis
Vladimir is a very smart man & shrewd in business…………….he looks out for the Russian people first………….not the rest of the world………..this is what a real leader does………..they don’t placate the PC minority or worry about “feelings”…………..they do the job that needs done & to hell with what another country thinks…………..Kerry was never fit for the job he was given…………..he’s a sniveling little rat who lets a woman & Heinz heiress support him…………..
Of course, Putin stands with those authoritarian regimes which silence dissenters and use power to surpress truth and freedom. Of course, Putin wants to blame those government leaders who support truth and freedom. So why are some Americans so quick to abandon our American values simply to criticize leaders they don’t like? Putin’s brand of order is not consistent with democracy, freedom of speech, or justice.
so true!!!
You are all horrible. You praise Putin. How can you do so after viewing his genocide in Aleppo. Look, I get it, our Middle East policy has been failing for years and it is not just obama. But to talk about Putin in glowing terms? He is our sworn enemy, so get a hold of yourselves please
