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.
Even Putin gets it…. Say what you will, but at least Putin is a Christian.
CHRISTIAN KILLED FOR THEIR FAITH EVERY 6 MINUTES IN 2016 – STUDY
RT: 29 Dec, 2016:
Ninety thousand Christians were murdered for their faith around the globe this year, which amounts to one being killed every six minutes, Italy’s CESNUR religious study group said.
Christians are now the most persecuted religious group in the world, Massimo Introvigne, director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), told Vatican Radio.
According to CESNUR statistics, around 500,000 Christians around the globe are unable to practice their faith completely freely, Introvigne said.
The large number of deaths may be explained by the fact that many devoted Christians refuse to take up arms, he added.
Christian individuals killed by terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria and Iraq.
Earlier this year, the Chaldean Bishop of Aleppo, Antoine Audo, said that during the five years of the Syrian conflict, the Christian population of the country had declined from 1.5 million to 500,000.
Most of the remaining Christians currently reside in areas controlled by the Syrian government after fleeing the jihadists.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that an agreement had been reached on a ceasefire in Syria and the start of peace talks, adding that the deal is “fragile” and requires a cautious approach. KEY WORD VLADIMIR PUTIN A CHRISTIAN WHO REFUSES TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
Putin is our enemy. Why do we care what he thinks?
William Finucan, slow down on that koolaid. Putin is no Christian and God will judge you for such a stupid statement in support of a murderous dictator.
Everybody I know that want’s to work is working. Overtime as well. Companies are begging for people to go to work. You are absolutely wrong. Thank you Obama for the great economic comeback and affordable health insurance for millions!
It’s affordable health care for millions because the other millions are paying for it and can’t afford it. It’s been heavily covered by the news that prices are skyrocketing from state to state.
Even Bill Clinton called it a c**p system (yeah, thanks Obama)
So Michael
James, so Michael demonstrated the technique in his response, is what you’re saying?
hang in their Putin.
Valid points.
