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.
Like didn’t the GOP try to get rid of an ethics committee in congress… conservatives are so blind
The question of whether legislation, regulations OR executive orders offend the Constitution is something that gets decided by the Supreme Court. I’ve now lived nearly 66 years, and can assure you that such issues have arisen under every President. Not sure why you singled out drone attacks, because I don’t think a Constitutional question emerges because THAT weapon–as opposed to another–in attacking a military target.
As to health insurance–good luck at making the case that equivalent or better coverage would have been available at lower cost in the absence of the ACA. I say that because EVERY analysis recognizes that the spike in premiums is due to the unprecedented demand for care as folks previously locked out find themselves having access to covered treatment, and thus underscoring the delay in PASSING such a law as the REAL error involved. Put another way, it’s rather mathematically impossible for a law that EXPLICITLY caps premium revenue at 120% of medical expense actually incurred to be driving up premiums in some improper way. Besides, IF the premium is over 10% of ones adjusted, annual income, they aren’t required to purchase it.
Did people read this? Especially the last couple of lines?
Anybody who finds anything positive about this villain is seriously messed up.
