Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday blamed the migrant crisis in Europe on the United States for imposing its own standards on countries in the Middle East and Africa while failing to understand their culture and traditions.
In the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, Putin told the media that it was an “absolutely expected crisis.”
“We in Russia, and your humble servant, said several years ago that there would be massive problems if our so-called Western partners carry out what I have always called an ‘incorrect’ foreign policy, especially in the regions of the Muslim world, in the Middle East and north Africa, which continues to this day,” he said.
Putin said that he was “surprised” to see the media in the US criticize Europe’s “cruel” treatment of migrants when the country is not affected by the crisis. He continued to say that Europe is “blindly following American instructions,” and suffering badly, according to reports in Russian state media. …

No, the EU is not following the USA’s instructions at all. They are doing this of their own volition in order to create a new crisis.
No, the EU does not follow the USA’s lead at all. If anything, Obama follows theirs.
Not like Putin has meddled there himself, oh no.
Therefore, it is Obama’s Fault for failing to lead.
Yes. Turkey created ISIS, Hillary created ISIS, CIA created ISIS, MI6 created ISIS, etc etc. Most of the factions in NATO have been arming jihadists to fight Assad for years now.
While Libya is not a nice place then it is not something too horrible. There were 907 violent deaths in the first six months of 2015. That translates to the murder rate of ~30 per 100k.
In comparison Detroit had a murder rate of 45 per 100k last year.
“Yes. Turkey created ISIS, Hillary created ISIS, CIA created ISIS, MI6 created ISIS, etc etc. Most of the factions in NATO have been arming jihadists to fight Assad for years now.”
Since ISIS is full of Russians, by nationality, Chechens, Dagestanis and others along with others of the former USSR, Uzbeks, etc., we can say Russia has created ISIS as well along with supporting Syria who were supporting Jihadis in the war in Iraq along with of course, Iran who we know killed Americans in Iraq via Soleimani and the Quds. Assad emptied the prisons out of terrorists.
Just supporting Assad means supporting terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas as Syria is part of the arms route from Iran to those terrorist groups, have a good laugh on all of us to not include Syria in the terrorist equation. This is why from time to time, one has heard about Israel firing back at Syria let alone, that the Regime is responsible according to many for killing this Druze leader the other day, so much for protecting minorities. http://news.yahoo.com/druze-leader-dozens-more-killed-car-bombs-southern-094612239.html

Radio Free Europe, Under the Black Flag, ISIS is full of those from the former USSR.
Putin gave Persia a nuclear reactor and uranium.

Yes, but in this case Putin is right. The Obama administration's precipitous withdrawal from Iraq and (foolish or wicked, take your pick) support for the "Arab Spring" are the cause of the migrant crisis. U.S. policy turned Libya from a stable country run by a thuggish, but since the Iraq invasion compliant to U.S. interests, dictator into a chaotic hell-hole, and the U.S. attempt to push Assad out of power in Syria created the chaos there.
Going further back, not Bush's invasion of Iraq, but the mishandling of the situation in the wake of the invasion because evidently neither State nor DoD had any orientalists with enough influence to war effectively that ripping the bandage off the Sunni-Shia faultline would lead to chaos, laid the groundwork for what Obama made infinitely worse. Back further, the Clinton adventures in the Balkans and folly of running from Somalia after the Blackhawk down incident contributed lesser sources of migrants.
Obama and Hillary are to blame for this .
They started arming them in Benghazi
CIA/MI6/NATO has been working with the Chehcens and all of those anti-Russian groups of the former USSR for years. Of course there’s a lot of overlap with ISIS among the Muslim groups there like the Chechens.
I am unfamiliar with any reports of Russian-Russians being part of ISIS. Putin has been backing Assad.
Assad and Rebels victims, bombings mostly. Yeah, the good guy Assad with his terrorist buddies, Hezbollah and Hamas and his North Korean themepark, what a hero!
Regime not necessarily the great protector of Christians they make themselves out to be, Assyrian News:

au contraire ! Putin is a meddler in chief
I think that is where Obama gets his inspiration , modeling after communist / socialist meddlers . And he is really good at it , except for one thing ; he is totally inept and a coward at heart . We should be ‘meddling’ with B-52 contrails , yet Obama just goes for all this sneaky , deniable s#it that he thinks he can get away with without all his Leftist minions criticizing him for . Once outed , it’s “ who me!?” or just ignores and heads off to another golf course .
America needs to be led by warriors , not by lawyers ( and wimps )
It’s probably significant terrain but nonetheless, per this map, the Regime in Syria controls very little.
Reading Bild now is interesting because a lot of the action is there in Germany.

I think it blew up in their faces....!
And as an early backer. The West should have stayed the hell out of Iraq in the first place.
