I think Putin punk slapped some European leaders as well to get this done. If this is true, he just derailed the entire Western destabilization of the Middle East. There will be repercussions for the Ukraine as well. I think Putin was ready to throw down and tired of talk.
We have to an extent also just lost Israel.

In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there’s “something in the Iran deal” that “people don’t understand” saying if someone attacks Iran, “we have to come to their defense.”
“Does that include Israel?” Trump asked. “And most people say yes, they don’t have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel.” ..."
Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, “Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems.”
Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears “to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran’s nuclear program.”
A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

They do this only in an attempt to win the trust of anti-Obama folks -- a clever/sneaky way to add credibility to their pro-Russia, pro-Putin BS.
Yet it seems to work on some of us! In reality, Obama is the best thing that has happened to Russia in a long time.

Kremlin pays internet trolls to flatter Putin
Ben Hoyle - Moscow
October 11 2013
Russian investigative journalists and bloggers have uncovered an army of internet trolls paid to pour invective on the Kremlin’s opponents and heap praise on President Putin.
Posing as job applicants, the reporters discovered the government hacks working at a small company called the St Petersburg Internet Research Agency. ...”

the bigger picture might be whether putin can actually stop the invasion of Europe by addressing the Syrian instability, making the cities safe again, keeping the oilfields in operation, helping assad find a some sunni tribal politicians for a reformed government, and putting the screws on Turkey to stop facilitating human trafficking and migrant invaders
If Putin can do this, he will have half of the eu wanting to form a pact with him again, and not just the eastern bloc
Russia Is Building A Massive Military Base On Ukrainian Border
Russia is building a military base along the Ukrainian border, signaling its preparing for long-term support of the pro-Russian separatists fighting for Ukraine. The massive base - scheduled for completion in April - will house ammunition depots and barracks for several thousand soldiers, and will be used to train soldiers, reported Reuters. The Reuters reporter investigating the new base was temporarily detained and accused of being a Ukrainian spy. Russian officials didn't respond to Reuters questions about the purpose of the base and whether it's connected to the fight for Ukraine. ..."

Russia Plans Second Big Military Base Near Ukrainian Border
Reuters, via freebeacon.com ^ | September 23, 2015 | Anton Zverev
BOGUCHAR, Russia (Reuters) – Russia is planning a second major military base near the border with Ukraine, where NATO accuses Russian troops of helping pro-Moscow separatists fight Kiev’s forces.
The new base will house 5,000 soldiers and heavy weaponry, according to public documents and people working at the site.
It is further east than one under construction in Belgorod region reported by Reuters earlier this month but still close to the border with separatist-held parts of Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, where there has been heavy fighting.
The bases are part of a Russian military buildup along a new line of confrontation with the West, running from the Black Sea in the south to the Baltic in the north, which carries echoes of the Cold War-era “Iron Curtain”.
Russia has also increased its military presence in Syria.

Among the victims were the President of Poland Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, the former President of Poland in exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Polish Government officials, 18 members of the Polish Parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre.
The group was arriving from Warsaw to attend an event marking the 70th anniversary of the [Katyn] massacre, which took place not far from Smolensk.”

Did Putin Blow Up the Whole Polish Government in 2010?
A Second Look
A plane crash at Smolensk in Russia four years ago wiped out the Warsaw leadership. It used to be seen as an accident. Now, after Putin’s games in Ukraine, people aren’t so sure.
Four years ago this week, Polish President Lech Kaczynski was killed in a plane crash near the Katyn Forest in Russia where he was flying to honor the 22,000 Polish officers, lawyers, priests and professors slaughtered there by the Soviets 70 years before. Ninety-five other military, political and public figures including his wife died on that plane. One of the more heartbreaking details to emerge was that First Lady Maria Kaczynska’s body could be identified only by her nail polish and the inscription inside her wedding ring.
Less than two years before the crash the late president had given a speech warning that if Russian aggression was not stopped in Georgia, which Russia had invaded, it would extend to Ukraine, the Baltics, and possibly Poland as well. “We are here to take up the fight,” he said. And many Poles still believe that their president died in the cause of that effort. Physicist Kazimierz Nowaczyk is one of them. ...”

Russia is the winner and so is Iran. Russia ends up controlling oil prices in Europe plus has access to more oil and Iran and Syria are pals and Iran controls Iraq. Obama screwed this nation royally plus our war vets.
He has been quietly courting the Euroskeptic opposition parties all along as well. And the overrun of Europe by the Islamic vandals is going to test the EU’s rotteness like nothing before.
Interesting play.
Who thanks you? McCain? Obama? Kerry?
Whichever it is, you are in servitude to ineffectual eunuchs.
Anyone opposed to Russia taking over eastern Europe and the Middle East?
I used to have a little model train that wound up with a key, and would go around and around and around on a track in little two foot diameter circles.
Something about you makes me recall that little tin train.
Oh snap! I did forget about Soros and his little project in the Ukraine.
Perhaps it’s the straight-forward, dependable operation of it. The reliability. Something one could trust and count on to perform a simple but meaningful (to you at the time) function.
If true John McCain must be p*ssed.
Obama has lost the mid east
the only to regain is to embargo russian Navy from Syria
that would be war and obama is a chickenshit pacifist
his legacy is now toast
Speaking of toy trains, you and the other Putinistas remind me of Uncle Festor of the Addams Family taking great joy in watching a train wreck happening: Russia re-taking eastern Europe and now potentially the Middle East.
Putin checkmated Barry when he was still a sperm.
Too bad POS Obama’s father didn’t use a condom.
