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.
It’s a we’ll know fact that when you show bullies, thugs and tyrants a little weakness they flex. If you show a lot of it then they roll over you and Obama and his minions have shown a lot.
Interesting in this thread all the negative comments are about Democrats. You’d almost think corruption starts Anna ends with dem administrations. Hmmm. Interesting
Putin is a murderous dictator. Friends? Do some research
Dean Brady while you western hipsters are at it research Castro and then shut that hipster mouth, you spoiled bitches have no clue
Rebecca Speake yeah, let’s give the government full control over our Healthcare, it’s worked so well for our veterans. As to women’s Healthcare, planned parenthood’s demise would not put an end to their ability to get care our birth control.
Diane Ruffin yet you probably thought Obama was great no matter how many times he did an end run around congress, abusing his powers.
People don’t protest Putin because he would have them killed.
Can’t believe I trust a Russian leader over the current president….
It is called “draining the swamp”!
I despise Obama, but Putin is a Commie thug.
