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.
Exactly what did people do before the Affordable healthcare act? Do you think maybe, just maybe people should take some responsibility in their lives?
Mike,
Finally someone with some sense!! Man, you can’t argue with stupid.
What was his failures?
Stan Petersen Simple minded!? Really?! He took a $1 Million family loan and grew it to billions! Has business dealings in 14 countries. Has over 500 up and running businesses with thousands and thousands of employees! If he is simple minded then every President before him has been a dolt!
Jerry Williams if you don’t know then pointing them out to you is useless, they are very clear.
This article is clearly written from the rights perspective, poorly informed, poorly written, poorly sourced garbage. If cnn is f**e news, what does this c**p qualify as?
This is most definitely F**E NEWS!!!
DEAN MY EXACT SENTIMENTS
Just remember not all of those who speak truth are Godly. Who’s to say this wasn’t all done to make Russia, Assad, Iran look stable and good so we don’t object when they reunite the Middle East under their dictatorial rule.
The narratives are deeper than the average person follows.
Yeah he’s real tough when Obama’s no where to be found….bully. Obama would rip him to shreads in a debate. Putin is a strong armed bully….period.
