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.
Obama is a ( IDIOT ) period.
I Like Putin !!
Make no mistake, Putin is former KGB.. Have no illusions, he is an Authoritarian.. He seeks to be the next “Peter the Great 2” Czar of a renewed great Russian Empire.. I respect and admire his past accomplishments, yet, believe “he” needs to be contained.
Where Russian and USA interests intersect in a common interest and goal, support..
The Ukraine must be a solid “Red” Line. We CANNOT allow Russia Finlandization of the Ukraine. Russia must not be allowed conquest “again” of its neighbors.
The United States of America and Russia can work together to trade in Space Technology (Russian Closed looped Rocket Engine 35 years advanced of us), Oil & gas exports (Minimize OPEC) and contain China from South China Sea 9-dash line aspirations.
Personally, I admire and like Putin.. Why I fear his success. Lol. Obama is a$#%&!@*compared and laughed at by most men of the world.. Trump.. Wild card.. Uncontrolled, self made, respected.. Pragmatic..
Putin seeks positive legacy. Russia as a equal player on the world stage..
Russia has half our population, over twice our land area. Is oil rich, yet, lacks in any rule of law. As most dominant oil producing nations, has sequestered other aspects of their economy.. Yet.. They have SSBN subs, mobile ICBMS platforms, 4th generation aircraft, and.. Most importantly.. Lost 26 million citizens and cities to war. Don’t underestimate them.
Happy New Years…..
Just my thoughts..
I can’t remember a time in history when Americans believed the propaganda peddled by Russian Communist Dictators! Now it’s like Putin is somehow our guiding light! We’ll all be speaking Russian soon!
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
Is he referring to the USA after 8 years of Obama….or the middle East?
maybe they should t have hacked the dnc and interfered with our election
the health care costs were rising so fast nobody could afford it.say what you want about Obama care its not perfect but costs,of healthcare has,slowed alot .look it up..how long are you willing to subsidize, Walmart ,Exxon Mobil ,and all the rest.Maybe we should throw fellow americans under the bus and just say no money we can t treat that injury.trump doesn t pay taxes because thats the way it is now so keep your tax, return because him and his pay nothing.
F**k Putin..
Im sure you think that! I’m talking about people who will resist Thump! Divided by the$#%&!@*followers called bigots and racists and now Pukins puppets! You must be in one of those categories right? I guess that’s also the reason why no one wants to perform?
New lie to support Obama’s lie about russie hacking America. They convieniantly found malware on a laptop, (not the mainframe or office computer) at a power facility in Virginia. A device that could have been planted there by anyone but a russian. But it has the same malware as they claim the russians used to hack the election. Now how did Obama’s criminals get their hands on that malware? and place it on a laptop in Virginia. I am an educated adult who will not believe the fairy tales and lies told by the Obama sdministration and the Democratic party who believe we Americans are stupid and can’t see through their b******t.
