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.

Angelica, apparently you wake up stupid.
People may think he’s an animal but I don’t see millions and millions of Russians waiting to catch a bus to the US and I think the United States of America has put their nose in too many people’s business they should leave other countries alone worry about our own country Obama screwed America put his nose where it did not belong funded terrorism screw the American people restart health insurance and people cry because he left the only people crying were the people who got everything for free screw you Obama 9 days and counting
He probably doesn’t know what he’s done – his egotistical head is stuck too far up his own$#%&!@*
Of course Obeyme knows what he has done. I believe everything he’s done has been a calculated move.
We’ve been trying to tell everyone about Obama and his plans. With the paid rioting etc no one will listen.
US foreign policies have gotten dumber by the minute.
Let me get this straight, the “Rooskies” who by the way have been our sworn enemies since 1946,are now the nicest guys in the world because you hate Obama so much. What a delusional crook of$#%&!@* I don’t care which American politician you hate, the Russians are NOT our best buddies just because Trump says so!
I don’t think you’ll all be so self righteous when you start cashing your paychecks in rubles!
They opened the door and Putin walked right in and told the United States, the most country in the world, to get lost.
