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.
Boy! after reading many of these comments it is easy to see why$#%&!@*rose to power and why Trump appeals to so many.
Jason Throttle Bruni Lol, the stock market is NOT what you look at for economic growth. The stock market is too high, it is going to adjust very soon and it is going to be a rather significant adjustment downward. Real unemployment is grossly high but hey, lets not count the real number because that would just make the Dems look bad. We are thought of as a joke in the eyes of the rest of the world, and our lovely politicians sacrifice our soldiers lives without regard to human life and lie to our faces every chance they have but do it with a calm straight face.
Obama and Kerry are idiots. Putin is correct.
Make dems look bad? The poorest states in the nation are red states buddy. We are looked at as a joke because how much congress fights what is common knowledge around the world. We are the only developed nation to have government officials who deny climate change. We have a congress who fights the president on everything just because they hate him, we fight and vote against out best interests so the rich can get richer.
Educate yourself before coming in here making incorrect statements.
Yep Obama & Kerry are both F**e as a Foot Ball Bat
I doubt he is really Trump’s buddy. There’s method to the madness there. Everyone knows who Putin is…except a few misguided people. And maybe those who are young and didn’t do their homework.
Wise man.
This a opinion by someone that does not make it automatically a fact.
For sure somebody was going to make it racist. Can’t come up with a good rational defense so just call everybody with a different opinion racist. Ignorant and stupid. Putin is a lot of things with thug being close to the top of that list but he is also a leader and Obama, with all his good qualities, is not. Smart, charismatic, great orator are good things but it doesn’t make a man a leader no matter his color.
I’m sorry, republicans made it about race from the beginning, I’m just pointing out the obvious.
How is Obama not a good leader? All our allies respect him which was not the case for W. Economy is back, people are happy, Bin Laden had been killed. How does this not make him a good leader?
