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.
Was going to comment but I couldn’t have said any thing better Sharon
I have been pointing out the Iraq, Libya, Arab Soring, ‘Obama Doctrine” links for years, and how they directly caused the civil war in Syria [ The Obama Doc – Obama said the he would not stand by a watch a dictator bomb their own cities and people, leading the people in the Syrian Arab Spring movement to believe Obama would attack Assad as he had Kaddafi if he bombed them. Instead, Obama drew his ‘bright red line ‘ in the sand. By then, Assad knew Obama was to weak to act, and gassed the rebels to. Obama then invited Putin & Russia into the war to save face. Now the rebels are done, Assad is safe, Putin is in Syria, Iran and Iraq, and ISIS is still killing worldwide.].
Why is Putin calling out Obama on anything? Obamas done, right?
This makes me sick. Every single policy of Obamas has a back door truth. It’s a facade. Obamas and Clintons should be in prison.
You realize Putin is a dictator who uses Christianity to control his people and as an excuse to deny basic human rights to groups of people. He is also extremely smart and he uses his influence all over the world behind the scenes to influence world government. He has his fingers in every far right party around the world and also in American churches inderectly through some of the Christian groups that give money through his government. He may be able to identify Obama’s weakness in the middle East but he is not someone to look up to. He is more$#%&!@*than Churchill.
So for those of you that support this communist you should just move to Russia GTFOH
Jack Maggard, Putin is a Fascist not a communist. I don’t agree with the politics in your rant, but I will agree that Putin is a terrible person, and anyone who wants our leaders to look to him as an example are idiots.
Obama is aiding the Isis movement any way he can.
Now, that is a leader instead we have Ovomit thinking about oppression due to the color and/or hue of people’s skins across the world….not about what is good and bad or evil in the world today.
Truth my$#%&!@*!! Aleppo, Syria folks. That’s all you need to know about Putin + Assad. Women, children, schools, hospitals – no f##king conscience whatsoever to their genocide. And now they spew their propoganda for all to see because they’ve already demonstrated how amazingly simple it is to sway the opinions of the masses through social media. That so many Americans buy into his b******t is frightening on so many levels. This man’s burning desire is to destroy Western Civilization, and in particular – the United States. You want to live under an iron boot? Then Vlady’s willing to oblige but don’t do it here. Move your dumb asses to Moscow!!!
