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 agreed, the body of the snake is Isis but the head of the snake is ISLAM and until the World wakes up and does something about the source the World will have hell to pay.
Nothing that can’t be turned into a glass parking lot in an instant. It’s probably one of the very few times that I’m in support of using tactical nuclear weapons.
Yeah right be friends with the very country that wants america dead! Go get a life you dumb mf!
I once thought that no single person could F things up so bad, because of the checks and balances included in our constitution. I guess there has to b an adult left in the house to apply properly. Where in the F is Congress and the Justice Dept? IMPEACH!!! Don’t let this Bastard have another minute to ruin things.
I’m quite sure if Russia wanted us dead, they had nore than a chance to do so. However, you are free to climb back under the rock you emerged from.
Roger Thibault KOOLADE REALLY? THAT ONE IS SOOOOOO OLD AND LOST IT’S IMPACT YEARS AGO BUT I EXPECT AS MUCH FROM A HIGH SCHOOL GRAD FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. (OR DID YOU EVEN GRADUATE? PROBABLY NOT) ANY WAY I’LL TRY AND KEEP IT SHORT BECAUSE I KNOW HOW SHORT YOUR ATTENTION SPANS ARE IN SC. THE HISTORY OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES AND AN ACTUAL LIST OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS ARE INCLUDED BELOW FOR YOU TO “NOT” READ. I DON’T THINK YOU WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN THE U. S. WITHOUT POLICE, FIREMEN ETC (SOCIAL PROGRAMS). HERE IN THE U.S. WE DO NOT LIVE BY YOUR “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST MENTALITY” AND THE “ONLY” REASON YOU DO NOT SUPPORT SOCIAL PROGRAMS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO NEED TO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_programs_in_the_United_States#Federal_welfare_programs
Answer: No Obama doesn’t realize nor care about his careless, incompetent, decision making.
Won’t be long before russia,north korea,iran,and several others to line up and bring the US to its knees…putin is KGB and will never like the west and thats a fact.good luck america!
Don’t worry Mr Putin in about 3 weeks you’ll have your American lap dog in office. Then all you’ll need to do is stroke his ego a little and he’ll give you the nuclear codes if you want them.
Yes he foes. Does he care no.
