Russian President Vladimir Putin told the U.N. on Monday that those who supported democratic revolutions in the Middle East are to blame for the rise of a globally ambitious Islamic State.
"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," Putin said through a translator. "I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?"
The Russian president added that the power vacuum following these revolutions led to the rise of terrorist groups in the region — including the Islamic State group.
He told the United Nations General Assembly it would be an "enormous mistake" not to cooperate with the Syrian government to combat the extremist group.
"No one but President (Bashar) Assad's armed forces and Kurdish militia are truly fighting the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations in Syria," he said.
In an earlier speech at the U.N. , President Barack Obama said it would be a mistake to think that Syria could be stable under Assad.

Have you read Pravda lately? Compared to the New York Times or the Washington Post it is concentrated truth and sanity.
Russia seems to be leaving the darkness while we are bound and determined to enter it. Promoting Homosexuality is now a crime in Russia.
Like I said, sanity.
Conservation of sanity...
Does anyone on planet earth actually believe that the United States of America is conducting active military operations against ISIS (the military equivalent of the bloods and crips).
On the world stage, our president is just a used trojan. Good for nothing.
Russia seems to be leaving the darkness while we are bound and determined to enter it.
Nope. Kleptocratic one party state Russia is regressing. The biggest country in the world with an economy the size of Italy. Soon to be the size Spain. It’s a petrostate. They have no economy to speak of outside of oil/gas because Putin’s comrades strangle it with their theft.
“He’s no saint. But, the hatred of Putin is being stirred up by someone. I honestly don’t know who. But, it’s organized and evil.”
It is wrapped up in the faltering Soros/EU/Obama neocolonialism in the Ukraine, the Russian refusal to accept queers as peers, neocons who are never happy if we aren’t killing someone somewhere for some vital interest we just made up, and old Cold Warriors who are nearly as addled and mulish as those lone Japanese holdouts on God forsaken Pacific Islands long after the war. The real animus, incredibly, seems to be rooted in the rejection of sodomitic social policy as a norm.
They sell more weapons than the rest of the world combined.
This is an opportunity to post a comment I saw the other day that is just too good to pass up.
"If Obama's skin were any thinner, he would have a reservoir tip at the top of his head. "
That is a stupid statement.
“Promoting Homosexuality is now a crime in Russia.”
Promoting homosexuality to -minors- is a crime in Russia. And even that is attacked as ‘repressive’, even here occasionally.
Homosexuality was a felony in the Soviet Union. RF law is actually more lenient. The pervs here and in the EU can’t tolerate any resistance to it.
Only because it’s the only successful industry they have.
Never hear of the wonderful Russian refrigerators or Comrade Koffee machines.
I did see this sweet Chevy/Lada SUV collaboration not too long ago. Unavailable in the states, likely a radioactivity issue I’m guessing.
More cancerous propaganda.
Bingo! And succinct... Nice.
I agree with Putin on this.
Our “compassionate conservative” POTUS GW Bush wanted to remake Iraq and Afghanistan into democracies; something that just doesn’t happen in tribal societies.
Then Baraq comes along and fully supports all of the radical muslim terriorism in the Mid East, while filling the Executive branch with radical supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He’s a relic of self indulgence with no future.
A leaking bag of waste that society now has to clean up, as it drips all over Europe and America, spreading his disease of Islam.
South of Syria and Iraq is Israel who has been warned by Putin not to do any cross boarder operations into Syria for any reason - including responding to attack by Iranian forces on the now militarizing the Syrian side of the Golan.
” Obama has outdone Carter!”
Obama out did Carter in his first term - we are now in uncharted waters ...
“If Obama were white, he would be a janitor, or ditch digger.”
Hey watch it - manual labor is not all that bad - if Obama were white he be a welfare cheat in some walk up tenement in Chicago selling drugs and pimping on the side.
Except for tha American top ISIS commander...
