This author is either a Putin loyalist or another naive, easily manipulated idiot. Russia, although helping take on ISIS, is absolutely still a threat on the world stage. They've been invading their neighbors and basically looking to restore their lost (evil) empire. They have a strong propaganda campaign going on which includes the use of internet trolls to help spread disinformation and pump up Putin. We have a bunch of them here. Why they are tolerated remains a mystery to me, as they are clearly influencing otherwise good people into trusting Putin.

"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.
In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.
The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

As the Pentagon warily eyes a Russian military build-up in Syria, Western intelligence sources tell Fox News that the escalated Russian presence began just days after a secret Moscow meeting in late July between Iran's Quds Force commander - their chief exporter of terror - and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Fox News has learned Quds head Qassem Soleimani and Putin discussed such a joint military plan for Syria at that meeting, an encounter first reported by Fox News in early August. ..."
The Quds Force is the international arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, involved in exporting terrorism to Irans proxies throughout the Middle East including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. ..."
Officials who have monitored the build-up say they've seen more than 1,000 Russian combatants - some of them from the same plainclothes Special Forces units who were sent to Crimea and Ukraine. Some of these Russian troops are logistical specialists and needed for security at the expanding Russian bases.

Pro-Hezbollah Paper: Russia, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah Form Alliance
Sept 23, 2015
A prominent pro-Hezbollah newspaper in Lebanon reported Tuesday that Russia and the terrorist organization have formed an alliance and will fight together in Syria. "The parties to the alliance are the states of Russia, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, with Lebanon's Hezbollah as the fifth party,"
Al-Akhbar Editor in Chief Ibrahim al-Amin wrote. The pact would be called the "4+1 alliance", a pun based on the P5+1 that negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran. Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran based in Lebanon and Moscow has been working with Tehran to save Bashar al-Assad's regime, even sending men and weapons to Syria.

What is wrong with Donald Trump? Why are they so critical about a man who wants to change the damage done in the past 8 years, to an America that is great again.
They say it’s impossible to build a fence along the border... they laugh at such a thought. It’s only impossible to very small minds. Of course the fence will be built.. it has to be.. and the border closed... finally someone who will get it done... he isn’t politically minded like the previous Presidents who allowed illegals and terrorists to come on in and do their damage.... for years!
He will dismantle obamacare and give us healthcare with a choice. Trump is not dumb... he has built a fortune in business and knowing how to make good deals that work. He has 3 adult kids who all have worked with their father and are a great example of success through hard work and that is not an easy task.
To small minds, stuck in old political life, what Trump says is off the charts... to his followers, he’s a breath of fresh air. He repeatedly says we are a group of people who have not been heard and he is our spokesman... he cares for people.. . he is a man who can be reached.. a man who is not above the people and who knows what we are so angry about.
He doesn’t say things like the elite do... and so he’s ridiculed. He isn’t owned by anyone or any group... and privilege is given to his followers... not to special interest.
Trump is an original.. he’s not like the elite who have been running Washington... and the media who are no longer reporters.. they are political gossips.. Trump is being maligned by those very gossips.
And the last comment... people who don’t take the time to listen to Donald Trump but get their opinions from what they hear from the media... you are being lied to every day in every way possible. For those who are too lazy to stop and get the right information from Trump himself... for this is the most important election in years... You have a choice between a man who is a patriotic, unorthodox President ... a man who wants only to make America a land where you can get a job... where your children can go to good schools... where the government does not run your life... where illegals who come here for freebies and are dangerous, are sent back to where they come from... Trump is a man who loves this country.. he’s been fortunate and believes we can be that shiny country on a hill... one that offers a good life for everyone..
Listen to the man, Trump..hear what he says and not what they interpret his words to say .. they are lying to you!
The alternative is a sick corrupt old woman.
