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.
I love how disgusted he looks. This is the face of someone who understands what the$#%&!@*is going on. We all make the same face when we encounter situations like this and have to explain why it is so unsettling to those who frankly don’t give a$#%&!@*
Richard Rech just for the record Obama was a half-term senator in which nothing got passed and before that he was a community organizer. Where has Trump has been a successful businessman for the greater part of 40 years. Not an Obama fan but I also if you give two s**** about this conversation just thought I would straighten you out on this part of it though.
This is a bunch of pro communist propaganda and anyone who believes this b******t deserves whatever they get!
So what Putin did in Ukraine is acceptable to you
David nails it!
Jordan Thompson like wow dude. Inform yourself. Because you aren’t!

We have had troops in every one of those nations and granted seal team 6 was a one time deal in Pakistan so let’s just say 6 countries. We have had soldiers killed in Syria so does that count as a war in a different nation yet or is there a certain number we have to meet before we call it “war”.
A drone strike killing someone in a foreign country is an act of war. I don’t know how many years you’ve been in the military but you may need to revisit that definition. The drones are property of the US military and the decision to kill came from the US president ergo act of war.
These countries aren’t being eradicated of terrorists. ISIS is in over 23 countries now. There’s no way u can say Obama’s individual attacks have been eliminating terrorists. If so please explain what’s going on in Turkey. (Third terror attack in 1 month)
Pakistan was harboring terrorists as is Iran and both are “allies” to Obama.
How has Obama been blocked from expanding public employment because that would seem to indicate he’s lying about his job creation?
(I’m actually asking even though this sounds like a smart$#%&!@*remark)
The best of my knowledge Dodd Frank needs revision at best as it’s both too weak and too strong on separate aspects. Both Dems and Repubs have voiced that as well as both US and U.K. Banks. Then again it will be interesting to see if a similar issue like the housing market bubble occurs because of it although if it does happen it’ll prob take a decade just like the housing market crash so it’ll be some other poor president’s problem to solve while yet again leaving the American people to pay for it. Only time can tell on that one.
Eradicating waste and fraud can most likely (IMHO) clear about 1/4 of our deficit. Time and time again they find about 1/4 to 1/2 of some organizations budget that is just pure fluff and garbage. The most recent news line was something to the effect of $125 billion in waste from the pentagon (and that was just straight waste not looking at things that can be made more efficient/decreased/substituted etc.) Hell it was a only a news ticker and not even a story about how the pentagon cannot account for $6.5 trillion back in July. That’s insane. That’s literally 1/3 of our entire deficit just not accounted for. Poof. The pentagon makes up roughly 20% (1/5) of the total US budget and has clear unaccountability/loss of 1/3 of the national deficit. It’s safe to assume that the remaining 80% of our budget will contain enough waste/fraud to cover the other 2/3 of our deficit and balance the budget.
Giving the offshore money a tax holiday to return to the US seems better than leaving it over seas bolstering up foreign banking assets. Even if it just meant they put the money into investments/banks etc in the US that would give said lenders the liquid assets or capitol to lend to us the American people for loans/businesses/houses etc. we could even see better lending practices/bidding wars as they can take more risks and give better interest rates etc. Granted this is all theory but everyone likes to make money, especially banks. And I do know the fed plays into the whole mix as well but that’s really a whole other bag of shenanigans.
The government subsidized grain is another load of hot mess. It has helped curb gas prices a bit but boy are we talking a real big long discussion on the inner workings of geo politics. And when considering Monsanto’s reach on practically everything grown in the US we really start seeing the problems with that. A similar note on that subject we can start impacting real change in America if the government starts taxing sugar and additives in food. Bet we would see a whole lot less of em added in everything we buy which would have the great benefit of healthier citizens. Otherwise those processed foods would cost too much and we would be back to eating real things like fruits and vegs. And before you say well then fruits/vegs would cost too much because of the Immigrants thing (with Trump) if we weren’t subsidizing corn, farmers would grow a lot less of it (instead growing real food) and these giant food corporations wouldn’t have government subsidized ingredients to sell. (Seeing how just about everything is a corn byproduct)
I know that’s a long tangent but I felt it was relative.
Back to China that’s actually why they need us more than we need them. Most countries would starve without the US and South America feeding them.
It was known that Russia had involvement in said hacking 18 months ago. Nothing has changed. Again why do something now? And why not do anything to China? They directly stole the OPM security clearance application packet records on over 22 million former and current US government/military individuals (myself included). That includes a full credit history, friends and families names/numbers/addresses, work and school history, fingerprints, bank accounts, all personal/professional licensures you name it. Zero response to include the White House wouldn’t even publicly acknowledge it was China when it happened.
Israel never asked to dictate US policy only that they continue their support that the UN would not dictate policies to Israel. And why would you down play Israel stating they have proof of the US making said UN agreement but yet u take the US’s word that it was Russia who hacked the DNC despite them not releasing any proof or even a consistent story?
I haven’t heard about Israel’s “evidence” being disputed yet so I’ll have to check that out.
Obama is a global activist who cares not about the working class American that’s very obvious.
Hang in there. Our president does not represent us.
There has been not one shread of proof that the Russians changed our election, not one. The liberals need to blame someone for their incompetence. If you ignorant morons would sit down and actually use your feeble brains you could understand why you lost. It’s not friggin rocket science but blaming everyone but yourselves just might get you another 4 years on the sidelines. Think about that if you’re able to think at all.
