Putin: 'Do You Realize What You Have Done?'
CNBC via Yahoo News ^ | 9/28/15 | Everett Rosenfeld

Posted on 09/28/2015 6:22:03 PM PDT by marshmallow

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.

It’s fine for him to play sides down there, but he never contemplated a muslim in the White House harnessing America’s military might and checkbook.

Remember when the U.S. and other western nations used to put forth sensible policies in the U.N. and they were blocked by Russia, China and Iran?

Lol.

Only the multi-talented Obama could lose the moral high ground to a KGB guy.

At least with Putin, there is a future for American’s.

With Hussein? He’d be happy with Americans throats cut. He is enabling our enemies to make TC possible in Europe, Israel and America, not necessarily in that order.

TC= Throat cutting

He’s right. Every word he said is right. The Kurds. The Arab “Spring” nonsense. He gets it.

He’s not trustworthy, but he is right and I am afraid we are going to be on the wrong side of a war defending ISIS and the MB.

Putin hit the nail on the head. He is right and most of us on FR called the shot. This administration has caused turmoil, anarchy and thousands of deaths. They truly have blood on their hands. Where American soldiers go there is peace. Where Obama goes there is death and destruction. Why isn’t he impeached and sent to his home in Indonesia??

Wow...to have the leader of Russia come out and disintegrate the leader of America...

I didn't ever think I would live to see anything as disgusting and painful as this..

Putin is right, and he knows what type of person people of America voted into that leadership, not only once, but twice...

God help us, for someone like Putin and Russia to know just how weak someone like this pResident is...God help us...

Obama knows EXACTLY what he’s doing in supporting the rise of Islamic terrorist movements and regimes.

Putin lecturing the west on human rights? World wide Islamic terrorism has received a great deal of support from Moscow itself.

Correction:
Putin questioning America's resolve in World wide islamic terror fight? World wide Islamic terrorism has received a great deal of support from obumber himself.

Caring about your own country is racist. Well, if you’re a mostly white country at least.

Count on it. In any green-on-green conflict, obama will INVARIABLY support the most radical side.

Can’t say that I disagree with him...

Putin: 'Do You Realize What You Have Done?'

If he's asking Obama the answer is no, that lazy, stupid, ignorant and arrogant affirmative action President has absolutely no clue about anything he's done.

He's an idiot. If he were white, he'd be flipping burgers somewhere.

The only reason he's "Precedent" is because of the media's desperate need to use him as a Chocolate Dildo.
