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.
Go putin
He doesn’t care….
Obama, Clinton and other leftists are in bed with radical jihadists. There is no other explanation. No one is that stupid or foolish.
They intentionally support and propped up the so-called “Arab spring”
What’s not to love about Putin? Lier, cheat, hypocrite, murderer, thug, homophobe. 10,000 dead in Ukraine, 300 dead from MH-17, countless women andchildren
Love Putin, Hate Obama.
Obama did what he was told to do.Destabilize the United States, remove Israel as our chief
Ally in the Middle East and screw Trump as an incoming President.
He intends to keep causing problems until forced to remove himself from his self righteous podium!
He knows exactly what he has done!
Rob, it goes back further than this to the White Paper and the Balfour Declaration. The West made promises before and after WWI that they had no intention of keeping, especially Britain. The Arabs tried to protest but the western media were conspicuously absent in their coverage of, for example, the year long hunger strike in the Thirties in which thousands of Palestinians and others starved to death. When a people are as angry as these people are today, there has to be a reason. Most Westerners don’t know the history and don’t care.
Obama had a plan to take America from the inside out and for hillary to finish it but it backfired in his face so he is trying to start a war because he thinks he can stay in office but it is not going to work, the people need to call every Governor, senators and congress man and let them know we won’t stand for it anymore.
Obama doesn’t care. He has single handedly made the world a more dangerous place. Thankfully he is gone on January 20th.
