Vladimir Putin is no fan of the “Arab Spring”, evident by his address to the UN. Putin, who is allies with Assad, and Russia who has interests in Syria as a strategic location, has moved his military to the Syrian border. His speech pointed out his take on the Arab spring, and he believes the Obama “doctrine” in the Middle East has left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Surprisingly, his take on the Arab Spring is much aligned with how many American conservatives view it.

Let Putin take him back to Russia and give him to the KGB.
Putin is correct. But the cause of this goes back to WW2. After the war when the U.N. Created these new Middle East countries, they paid no attention to tribal relations and differences. They grouped millions of people together, gave them a leader or King. Through the years, these rulers have had to rule with an iron fist to keep the country together under one flag and maintain control. Now, years later the various tribes and demographical differences have gradually grown stronger as the leaders’ powers have been eroded through sanctions by the west and countries who claim they are trying to give the people more freedom and democracy. The result is the overthrow of governments with numerous tribes trying to stake their claim as leaders of the new government. Now , more than ever, it is evident why these kings and leaders had to rule with such strength and tyranny. The various tribes within these lands have nothing but contempt for their neighboring tribes. With that ISIS has been able to move in, grow and prosper. The Arab Spring did nothing but destroy the the government’s that kept the various tribes and political factions in check.
Never thought I’d be saying this, but Putin is a much more logical, saner leader than any of parasitic democrats and many of our republicans. Sounds weird but as an American soldier you could easily end up in a Benghazi situation.(secretly and intentionally given to the enemy). It coud’nt be any worse fighting for Putin.
I moving to Russia
Putin is not a traitor but America has a traitor..
You beat me to it Carlos A Esparza…
Unfortunately Mr Obama does and understands what he’s done I don’t think he’s stupid I think he is intelligent and he knows exactly what he’s doing and everything that transpired in our America and country he has done purposely and that is a sad thing to say regarding our own president that he has become the enemy of our American culture and heritage
Sad that a communist leader from Russia is more in line with mainstream America than our President!
It is pretty sad, but I would rather have Vladimir Putin as president than Obamination.
