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.
Less than a week. It can’t get here fast enough. Come on Trump
I remember that. I watched his whole speech.
Yes, I kinda figured that after I re-read your post. I guess I’m mainly irritated at all the people who keep lauding putin’s syria actions when US soldiers are in Syria fighting ISIS with everything they have while trying their best not to harm civilians. At the same time, Russia is in Syria murdering the citizens we are trying to protect and attacking our allies. How could any patriotic American who “supports the troops” event think about admiring putin?
Omg! Now we are Putin’s friend? The guy who murders anyone who stands up against him? Really?
I’m sure he realizes exactly what he’s done.
Put in is right on the Middle East and Obamas failures there
Hell yes the Muslim terrorist knows exactly what he has done obama is trying to help the Muslims and the middle East destroy Israel and the west
Now Obama wants to play president, eight years and nothing. One week before he leaves he’s trying to start a war with Russia, smh
The forces that paved and paid his way were the Saudi and C.A.I.R.
Well said!!
