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.
Connie Ramsdell They’ve been taking heads off for 1400 years, along with slavery. Republicans abolished slavery period. That liberal view is going to cost us our country. We have been secretly founding Saudi Arabia, Never mind this is more complicated than I have time to explain to you.
what a crock
another right scam
The sad part is he is right.by removing dictators like hussi
There isn’t any way for us to justify US policy in the Middle East, nor to deny that it still isn’t working. No matter where you put the blame, we are still the country that involved in this mess without a workable plan.
So now we should trust a Russian spy over our president. I didn’t think much of George W Bush but I would never have insulted him to this extent. Can you possibly be more misdirected. Practice saying hiel Donald
Sad but True. BHO and The Liberal Party have screwed us for ages!
Yep, Putin knows how to Home school BO & kerry
I don’t think he will respond,..
Vladimir Putin is an awesome world leader,and he is right,the US president and his friends have made a huge mess of relations with the middle east,unfortunately,the US has to wait for Donald Trump is president to start to fix this mess along with other world leaders,so looks like what the world needs is for Vladimir Putin to step up and start the process of bringing the world to civilized order.
