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.
Of course you would people like u are traitors and u all should rounded up and shipped off to Russia with Dictator trump
No proof of that
Another traitor
As he is finally being shoved out the door Obama is screwing up and destroying everything he can for petty revenge since he didn’t get the next meatpuppet into office to continue his crimes.
Really what tomato truck did you fall off David Toy?
Some people can’t get their head out of the sand
Richard Gibbs,
I agree with you also LeBey needs to start taking her meds again because she is one screwed up human being!! What a wacko!!
Amazing when it’s Russia’s leader who acts mature and does the right thing by a great country! Never have seen such hate for others as we have in the last 8 years from the man who was supposed to bring the Country together – at least that is what he wanted people to believe so he could be elected.
… Why do I feel like I trust Putin more then Killary and O’ Bummer ? …. Oh yeah … missing billions of dollars ? … and for a guy that’s getting a celery of $450,000 a year he sure has been spending an awful lot of TAX money $$$ on vacations instead of working for U.S. …
Other than call Putin out on his b******t? And not bend to his every word? Sure the guy wasn’t that good of a president but he didn’t bring us into the war that Bush started or the recession that Bush started. Now we have another idiot about to lead the country again, one who praises Putin like a saint like he can do no wrong and anyone who disagrees is automatically an evil liar.
