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.
Sure sure. All those who disagree with Obama are racists, just as all those who disagree with Hillary are woman haters. We get it…shut up and agree or we are bad. However, that very mentality is how the DNC will elect Hillary….by getting 88% of the women to vote for her because they share gender. Don’t believe it? Obama got 99% of the black vote, including MILLIONS of NEW black voters who never voted before or since. Just one little problem. The Putin’s and Kim Jung Un’s and Islamic nuts of the world WILL go to war with the US because they won’t tolerate dealing with a woman. Then its not gonna be the feminist, solidarity of women voters getting their guts blasted out on battlefields just to uphold HIllary…it will be men.
GEE three people got so many killed and they think it is one of those things.
I would prefer to think that my government was stupid rather than evil, but stupidity on this scale is hard to fathom. What are we to conclude from the fact that our government has been giving aid to both IS and Al Nusra–the successor organization to Al Qaida? Al Nusra is sometimes refered to by Obama as the “moderate opposition” to Assad. The wonderful folks who brought us 9/11 are now the moderates? God help us.
Obama and Kerry are total idiots. Sadly Putin is right.
Jason everytime someone disagrees with Obama we are a racist!! But when the black people who didn’t like bush it was cause he was a bad man..get a life!! Its people like you who are the racists!!
how stupid this whole thing is… keep drinking the koolaid…
False, everyone has something they disagree about with one policy or another. The difference here is people are disagreeing and insulting him because he is black and that makes them uncomfortable.
Putin is a criminal and anyone who listens to him is an idiot.
