Russian media are abuzz with anticipation of President Vladimir Putin's speech at the UN.
Putin is in the United States for the first time since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in March 2014 and threw its support behind separatist rebels in Ukraine. What is more, Russia's recent military buildup in Syria has raised concern in the West about Putin's future steps there.
A state-owned news channel has run a countdown to the opening of the UN General Assembly on its screen all day Monday. Another Russian television channel, Ren-TV, said Monday that Putin is "preparing a speech that will change the world."

By MICHAEL R. GORDONSEPT. 27, 2015
UNITED NATIONS For the second time this month, Russia moved to expand its political and military influence in the Syria conflict and left the United States scrambling, this time by reaching an understanding, announced on Sunday, with Iraq, Syria and Iran to share intelligence about the Islamic State.
Like Russias earlier move to bolster the government of President Bashar al-Assad by deploying warplanes and tanks to a base near Latakia, Syria, the intelligence-sharing arrangement was sealed without notice to the United States. American officials knew that a group of Russian military officers were in Baghdad, but they were clearly surprised when the Iraqi militarys Joint Operations Command announced the intelligence sharing accord on Sunday.
Sure Putin wants to “change the world”. He wants to not only retake Eastern Europe, he wants to control the Middle East. And you and your Putinisata buddies will be there every step of the way cheering their troops on, blowing kisses and waving large red flags.
I don’t think Russia is going to conquer the world. But it will throw out Obama’s plans for the world.

Russia is going to lend the Shiites the hardware it needs to overthrow the Sunni Saud regime once and for all.
If we start pulling ships and sending back the tanks, you’ll know what’s up, and you’ll also know that Obola signed off on this.
I always wondered how all of this would come to pass. Israel will be literally alone in the world.
I get it now. Bibi just signed his non-aggression pact with Putin (the Russians fell for it, maybe the Jews might too). Christmas will be interesting.
He might as well seize the moment since the USA seems to be out to lunch.
And?
....”News today is that the US has lost Iraq to the Russians and Iranians who are combining with Syria’s Assad govt army to fight ISIS. US is out of the loop. Russian special forces agents already swarming all over Baghdad”......
Like it or not Obama meeting with Putin today shows Putin has already achieved one major victory, He has emerged from the shadows of political isolation as a major deal maker upon whom the eyes of the world are focused regarding Syria.....and he’s not asking permission to do what he thinks is the right thing to do regarding ISIS.
Putin’s been giving speeches and interviews over the past weeks which clearly show he’s determined to end the issues regarding Syria and ISIS.
Putin already has significant influence in the Middle East.....this is nothing new at all.
He won’t do any worse than our President did arming terrorists with GOP backing will he?
Nope.
The greatest retrograde force on earth today is the American government. And nature abhors a vacuum. Don’t like it? Neither do I. Vote smarter next time.
And your murderous dictator has killed Russians who don’t follow his ukases; he’s lied about the Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine; and he’s now about to set Russia with new threats to free nations with his bases in Syria. I can see why you’re happy.
You mean my dictator Obama?
Putin just began his UN speech

You think Obama has killed Russians? Where and when?
Thank you Thouworm.....so far Putins calling it right.....unfortunately he sounds more American than Obama...go figure!
Thank you Thouworm.....so far Putins calling it right.....unfortunately he sounds more American than Obama...go figure!
He just all-but called Obama out by name on Libya...
He just called Obama arrogant in his thinking. He is mentioning Libya has now become a jihadi hell hole, etc.
Putin is pretty much destroying Obama's foreign policy - he is saying it is all Obama's fault and the thinking of his State dept. Too fast for me to type....
He just all-but called Obama out by name on Libya...and he just accused the west of helping train these jihadists on the sly.
