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.
Get your news from info wars, I see.
There is no such thing as a surgical war. Non combatants will always die.
Lol. You’re a liberal, therefore your very existence has no worth or value, much less your garbage opinion.
I want to know when Obama started thinking he was Sauron, wearing the ring of power and thinking he can tell all the other leaders what to do?
This is so true… either the policies that have led to destabilization of the Middle East were 1) subversive in their intent or 2) vastly miscalculated illustrating poor American/International strategy. Can anyone come up with another option?
No jeff, not exactly. I find that guy a little irritating. There’s lots of other sources of information out there, and thankfully I started reading some of them, so I won’t die like a herded sheep, having no clue what is really going on in the world. Someone from external affairs in Canada clued me in about the true state of affairs, which I didn’t believe any of at first. It’s really, almost unbelievable, but true! Have a nice day. 🙂
No, he knows not what he’s done, USEXIT
If you can, don’t you think keeping Non Combatants death to a min is the least we can do? That as surgical as you can get.
Obama is an idiot. His agenda is to promote unrest in the Middle East.
This happened in October 2015 and was about Syria.
