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.
Putin is doing what obama doesn’t know how to do……..obama is a lost pathetic dillusional person. Putin would get my vote over obama anyday….america has been lied to these last 7 years by every appointed person in obamas administration……..and the media we used to have that told the truth about what goes on behind closed doors now locks it for them…..sickening what this country has succumbed too….
Remember when Reagan called the Soviets an evil empire and told Gorbachev to “Tear Down That Wall”? Now Putin is calling us a bunch of clowns. Wow! The Gipper must be rolling over in his grave.
My apologies Mr Putin , you see we have elected a moron as president, and an idiot, wrapped in a moron as secretary of state.
Putin is so right about Hillary, Keery and Obama
Since when does the United States Of America listen to the leader of Russia? Stop being fools!
Arliss Walker That’s it? Go figure. WOW!
The ex-KGB bully is grasping at straws because he’s about to go broke(price of gas and oil). The arab spring wasn’t started by the 3 stooges (Obummer,Billary,Kerry), it is simply a defiance of political corruption, dictators,poverty,ect… and kicked off by the immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi. This site must be run by repub/dems politicians because it is ignorant and full of xxxx.
America doesn’t win anything by compromising moral values… Ugh… that word… compromise… what a destructive thing that is… Sounds like Monty… “Let’s Make A Deal!” How can you compromise on ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursue of Happiness!” Which one do you give up.. or better yet… which one are you willing to die for? That is what our founding fathers established, that is what so much blood has been given to protect and this is what so many are willing to give away… shameful… The phrase gives three examples of the “unalienable rights” which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect. *** Know this… God does not give up on you… it is you who give up on God…
obama is an epic failure. that boy needs years of therapy and thorazine to curb his other drug addictions. All you morons who voted for him were conned…by a drug addict. and thats a fact.
Putin is right
