At the UN General Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin says that President Obama needs to learn the lessons of history before intervening internationally, because "certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union, social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes with other countries based on ideological preferences... often lead to tragic consequences."
"It seems that far from learning from the mistakes of others, everyone keeps repeating them," Putin said. "And so the export of revolutions, this time of so-called democratic ones, continues. It was enough to look at the situation in the Middle and North Africa."
"But how did it actually turn out? Rather than bringing about reforms and addressing foreign interference, it resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and lifestyles. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social division. And nobody cares about about human rights, including the rights to life."

Understatement of all time.
I guess Obama doesn’t really get it that Putin wants to be the first Czar of the 21st century. He probably couldn’t do worse than communism.
“See our media rallying around the potus, attacking Putin in 3, 2, 1, second..... “
Media reporting and response will be zzzzzzz....
He makes a valid point. However error can happen in both directions. There is a time for everything under heaven (except evil). Wisdom is the ability to discern when to do what.
Most likely Obama sat there and thought to himself that those old Soviet tactics didn’t work because he (Obama) wasn’t around to try them...
1936 Communist goals names a lot of them.
” See our ...media’’’ rallying around the potus, attacking Putin in 3, 2, 1, second.....
It’s spelled “Leftist Freepers”
Smack! Obama gets a takedown from the ex-KGB dictator who wants to revive the old USSR...
Thank you, sir-may I have another?
“certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union, social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes with other countries based on ideological preferences... often lead to tragic consequences.”

Sadly, you may be more right than my prediction.
I think Sir Norquist is correct. The media will be all over it. I noticed a Business Week article on Yahoo titled something like “85% of what Putin said is false...” not exactly that but...
Yep, that’s what I thought when I read this....it takes Putin to tell muslim butt what life is all about....LMAO...
OH when will he be out of office???????????? (sigh)
I mean Sir Napsalot. I couldn’t remember exactly so I guessed.
Obama doesn’t take advice well.
He already knows it all.
And his time is taken up lecturing law abiding white, Christian, heterosexual Americans on our shortcomings and the error of our ways.
Thugs. Both.
You were correct: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/obvious-problem-putins-grand-coalition-171520290.html
This is a sad day for America. I remember when our guy was right and their guy was wrong. What stings is that we have sunk to the point where Putin’s rebuke actually rings true.
He’s right.
Nothing new here. Communists have always squabbled with one another.
