Russian President Vladimir Putin may have his eyes set on a new world order — and it looks like President Obama and the United Nations don’t have the stomach to stop him.
Military experts say Putin has dusted off an old Soviet roadmap that now allows Russian forces to infiltrate and destabilize any country on earth.
And in Syria right now, Putin is proving the concept for the second time.
Adm. Vladimir Komoyedov, head of the Russian’s parliament’s defense committee, has just admitted that Russian “volunteers” are likely flooding into Syria to help prop up the regime of embattled leader President Bashar al-Assad.
It’s the exact same strategy Russia deployed just last year to destabilize a Ukrainian government that had aspirations of becoming part of the European Union.
In the Ukraine, Russian soldiers who were supposedly retired or no longer active duty streamed across the border to support pro-Russian forces.
There was ample evidence that Russia was arming — and even secretly directing — the troops. But by dismissing the forces as volunteers and not official Russian military, Putin was able to distance himself from direct responsibility for the fighting.
And escape international condemnation.
It’s a strategy that Putin seems ready to use to further his territorial ambitions and exert influence in former Soviet republics and other countries around the world. The kind of influence Russia hasn’t had since the collapse of the Soviet Union nearly 25 years ago.
But it’s not an idea he invented. Sending unsanctioned military forces into countries to destabilize current leadership or install puppet regimes was a major part of the Soviet Union’s global strategy for much of the 20th century, particularly in Africa, Asia and Central America.
Former KGB agent Putin knows the playbook well. And as he prepares to send a new wave of “volunteers” into the Middle East, he may be feeling particularly emboldened.
Obama has been to put the missiles on the doorstep of Putin, Obama was the head of the war between Georgia and Russia, Obama is in charge of the wars in the Middle East, Obama is taking orders from the Saudis to Islamize the world … .. Why the Isis, Boko Haram and Al Shabab have become so strong and ruthless under President Obama ?? Do not accuse Putin, before you do cleaning in your White House ….
Putin merely realizes that Obama will do nothing to deligitimize his appearance as a peacemaker. Putin knows that he has to expand now before this country swings back to a country willing to fight the good fight. We swing back and forth every 8 to 12 years. Putin knows this and is making hay while the sun shines. Trump is right about one thing. Most middle east countries were much more stable under dictators. This democratic nation building that we have been practicing had done more to destabilize the middle east than anything else that had been done. Saddam Hussein was a monster but he kept Iraq under control. Soon it will be part of Iran along with Syria. Then Russia will pressure Saudi Arabia to raise the price of oil which is killing Russia’s economy.
Russia will not pressure on ‘Saudi Arabia because it has entered into a Pharaonic contract with China
China and Russia on the other hand are in perfect agreement to cut nails bloody Muslim of the Saudis, they do not want to have problems with Muslims in their territory, if the Saudi royal family does not stop with its bloody intrigues will be silenced with good manners or with bad manners
When we stop supporting the terrorists, the “good” terrorists, then maybe the middle east can sort out their own problems. Putin was invited to come to Syria. We were NOT invited. Nor did the UN sanction our being there. We have so far demolished many countries in the middle east and it is time to STOP. Syria is a sovereign country—like it or not. Let the Syrian people throw out Assad. WHEN did it become OUR mission?
Obama’s plan to turn Islamic states into Western style democracies will never work; because ,they disagree with anyone who has a different interpretation of Islam that is why no Arab countries will become Democracies; because, democracy requires compromise and some assimilation.
The reason why G-d moved the covenant from Ishmael to Isaac is; because, G-d knew Ishmael could not handle it. The covenant would go to Isaac; because; G-d said Ishamael would be a wild man his hand always against his brother. The Arabs are children of Ishmael. G-d still made Ishmael a great nation. We can see today how the Arabs are constantly fighting against the children of Israel (Isaac’s son Jacob whose name was changed to Israel when he returned to his homeland after 20+ years) and each other. Jacob had a twin brother Esau who was also excluded from the covenant; because, he preferred a bowl of soup to the legacy of Abraham. Esau also became a nation and, it was the descendents of Esau who eventually founded the Roman Empire and spread Christianity The Pope still lives in the city of Rome.
Israel is the only stable nation and, western style democracy in the Mideast. If we want to be successful again we have to throw are support behind Israel again; because, G-d will bless those who bless his people and curse those who curse his people (Genesis 12).
