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.
I voted for trump but he definitely isn’t anything brilliant
Just the better choice
Obama is a jackass and 100% of this was intentional.
He is gone now. Smoking pot and trying to keep his family on a leash. Oblivion. Little more than a mess on toilet paper to be flushed by history.
Looking forward to working with our “Natural Alliance” against fascism.
Less than a few weeks.
Inept$#%&!@* counting the days….
I may criticize President Obama from time to time, publicly, and I’ve never feared a knock at the door as a result. If someone in Russia criticizes Putin, they mysteriously die, or never come home from work.
Although much of what he says is true, beware. Never should a UN policy supersede our Constitution. Ever.
You se my friends Putin is not a Dictator he’s a smart politician he reads between the lines of what the West and USA are trying to accomplish ! Our goal was is to destabilize the Middle East goal accomplished Putin is now taking sides Syria Iran has the West in check mate now make your next move
I kinda think Trump is playing at his “public perception” but thats just my opinion…
Over the last 8 years US foreign policy has definitely done more harm than good. But Putin is NOT our friend. He is still a KGB thug, who is supporting dictators in the middle east. Just because he speaks intelligently doesn’t change that.
Less than a month left and$#%&!@*will get right.
You idiots do realize that Russia hasn’t been a communist country for almost 30 years right? He’s not a dictator.
Ahhh comrades
