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.
Ok, So the Obama Administration pulled out of Iraq too soon, Had Kaddafi killed in Libya to destabilize the area, helped the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt, called ISIS the second string, let an Ambassador die, then lied about how it happened, set Iran on the path to nuclear weapons, and gave them hundreds of millions of laundered dollars, demoralized our military, and generally destroyed what little respect the world had for the U.S.A. Those are givens! But hey! If you criticize him, you are nothing but a racist!
I love this line, “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.” That gets right to the point. I will clarify by annoying using a question to do so; Do you honestly believe that they are not aware that they are failing in thier repetition, and that these things are not done with an ulterior motive?
Obama knew what he was doing with his so called change..I didn’t vote for him either time..to me his change was infilter and destroy our country which he has done and nobody cared which is sad
Totally agree trouble is nobody has the balls to stand up and do what’s right..law doesn’t seem to matter anymore
Ha ha ha ha. The new communists of the world. Right wing conservatives
Obama by backing the radical islamist along with Clinton when she was secretary of state introduced an insame amount of pain and misery to the people there and have started Europe on a path of destruction that may not be able to be reversed. The left in Europe have cut their own throats.
Putin knows low oil price and agressive grouth in renewable energy distroys isis mideast dictators and him. A Grand Slam in distroying evil. Putins last gasp of air is comrade trump and clowns. They are all toast. Thanks obama for a grand strategy to kill all the clowns.
While I understand why Trump is elected what has happened to the intelligence level of the American people there’s one word that covers why Putin is concerned about Syria MONEY anything else he tries to attribute their concern for IS BULL. I never realize so many Americans were as gullible as they are. Open your eyes people the Emperor is naked
Iraq was a serious mistake by the Bush administration. It followed the Carter administration mistake of supporting the mullahs and creating the terrorist state of Iran. Bush finally had Iraq stabilized but Obama and Clinton did not push to keep it that way. Then Clinton and Obama made a series of stupid errors siding with numerous radical islamist groups such as the muslim brotherhood which led to the near destruction of egypt, the death of an ally in Qaddafi, the destruction of Lybia, the tragic situation in Sryia which is bleedng over to the downfall of Europe. What these idiots don’t get is that yes the Shah was a bad man, Saddam was a bad man, Qadddaffi was a bad man and so forth but they kept the regions stable and in check. Without strong men you get what you see now, untold misery.
This is sick. However we reached this point, Putin and Assad are slaughtering The civilian population of Aleppo and other places. Republicans are making a pact with the devil.
