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.
1984?
You people do know that the U.S and Russia have been using the middle east as pawns in their power plays for decades right? Russia is no good guy in this. Read some history. Obama is the fallguy they all want you to get pissed at.
putin for v.p.
Obama realizes exactly what he has done and it was intentional. Obama has deliberately ushered in the beginning stages of WWIII in order to destabilize the world in order to usher in a one world government, a one world currency and a one world religion. The end is here…
He was talking about Bush as well.
that pic is not putin !
Putin made you all that agree with Putin look like a Idiot …Putin run’s his country as a Dictator ..He has written up laws to fit his needs and wants and not Russia .
Putin is only interested in Syria for the Gas Pipelines what could control many parts of the main country;s in the middle east . Don’t be fooled …Putin is best friends with Assad .
Putin never took interest in ISIS so why now 😉
The sad thing about so many in this country is they think we are the only ones being threatened by the terrorists. We’re not just as ww11 we have a common enemy now just as then we must unite to defeat them. F.D.R . and Churchill knew the enemy of my enemy is my friend but never let their guard down and when it was over we did not stay in bed with them . We need help destroying the terrorists
Those who are agreeing with Putin are a Ignorant as it come’s ! First off Putin run’s his country as a DICTATOR
From jailing anyone regardless of crimes to a propaganda army that controls news and astroturfs massively on the internet (proof is in the no)
A master of manipulation(ex kgb), he has held power for over a decade(had to have a puppet president for a term) using Russian oligarchs, massive propaganda control of major media, and fear by false imprisonment of opponent s. The arrest of everything from Russian billionaires to opposition leaders to political party members, even Russian bands are scary, but not nearly as far reaching and useful as his propaganda machine that buys up news ads, and anchors alike to tell you the russian people their corrupt government isn’t as bad as the rest of the worlds more corrupt governments(very large lie). Lately he has gone to filling up the internet with astroturfing every comment section about anything Russian which makes it hard to get an opinion that is not Putin’s (this is done through media companies he holds in multiple countries that are paid to spread positive media spin about Russia through spamming comment sections or any other user speak to make it seem like it is a common opinion even though it is not at all). To reinforce his position, he even trickles out some weak opponents and proceeds to crush them in arguments to make it appear he is democratic even though its staged. Its scary the lies about him his own people have bought in to, and as his ego grows so will his atrocities unless the Russian people stop being blind to his crimes and unite against him!!!
Putin only acts when it is in his Own interest , Putin is best friends with Assad and killing off the Kurds are agreed by both Assad and Putin. But most of all Putin has never taken concern about what was going on in the Middle East until it cut into his interest and this would be the Oil ,,,Gas Pipeline’s Gold ……Putin wants the world to acknowledge that Russia remains a global power. He is making his stand in Syria.
