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.
Tony, we know obama and hillary funded isis.
Joe Selph, you think you’re trampled on now? Wait till you see what happens within the next four years! Health insurance premiums are now going to Skyrocket. First of all, the deficit cannot be gotten under control until the health care spending issues addressed and that’s what the Affordable Care Act seeks to do, yet it needed some tweaking but they don’t need to gut it, that’s freaking ridiculous! Why should you not be expected to pay your part if you’re guaranteed to have health insurance if the Republicans had worked with Congress instead of against them before the A Care Act was being debated, it would have been a single-payer healthcare system and the insurance company would not have the power and control that they have now. The President wanting to get a national health care plan passed, he made huge concessions to the Republicans keeping all the insurance companies in the mix that want their piece of the pie. So if you don’t like the Affordable Care Act, don’t blame Obama, blame the people that you put in office. Knowing that the ACA is in danger of not being repealed because of the wording RE: Planned Parenthood and they don’t know if they can get enough Republicans to sign off on the words to defund Planned Parenthood because they provide a lot of valuable women’s services. The government has not funded abortions in years, as that’s what the American people have been led to believe
President Putin has been a hard working man, I thank him for watching the world for us while our idiot Obama was ruining the world, Thank you Mr. Putin
Hush farthead.
This is a garbage propaganda site, created to rally the rubes and glorify Trump’s cuddling up with a dictatorial foreign adversary. Putin has Trump in his pocket, a KGB intelligence master toying with a narcissistic real estate broker. And now you people want to saddle up with Assad? Ain’t that cheeky. We return the flower of our youth to die over there and burn more national treasure so you nitwits can cheer from afar, and all for a Syrian despot. What the$#%&!@*kind of a people are you? Putin, by the way is murdering more innocents and rebels in Syria than he is taking out ISIS fighters. And the vacuum over there came with the Bush war, another scam you supported. Obama put Putin and Russia in a well deserved hole with sanctions. Putin put the tweeter in chief on his payroll.
I remember his passion and contempt for Obama!
Even the Russians could foresee what a disaster Obamas and clintons policies in the Middle East were
Trump was rightfully elected whether or not the Russians tampered with the information that was fed to them or not. In the end, the American people pulled the levers in those voting booths. My problem is people who are defending the enemy over our own country. In my day people like that were labeled traitors…..
Only Obama could make Vladimir Putin look like a reasonable gentleman
Try again assholes. It was Bush’s two wars that destabilized the Middle East and allowed these fundamentalist factions to grow. Do you know how many radical muslims existed in Iraq before the war? ZERO. If those two wars never happened there wouldn’t have been an Arab Spring. I’m sick and tired of people that have ZERO knowledge about the middle east saying retarded things. They will talk about the Iran deal being terrible, meanwhile they don’t know$#%&!@*about the Iran deal. A bunch of idiotic words from morons.
