Russian President Medvedev Predicts “Fires for Decades” if Islamists Come to Power in Toppled Arab Countries…
If only Dear Leader had this much insight.
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday predicted decades of instability in the Arab world if protesters whom he called fanatics come to power, adding no such scenario will be permitted at home.
Medvedev’s words fall in sharp contrast with the European Union, which said in a statement on Monday that it “deplores the violence” and “repression” against the pro-democracy protesters by authorities in one of the troublespots, Libya.
Speaking at a security meeting in the Caucasus city of Vladikavkaz, Medvedev didn’t name countries, but he was referring to the crisis in the Middle East and North Africa — which has brought down governments in Tunisia and Egypt and sparked protests in Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, Morocco and Jordan.
“These states are difficult, and it is quite probable that hard times are ahead, including the arrival at power of fanatics. This will mean fires for decades and the spread of extremism,” Medvedev said in televised comments.
“They have prepared such a scenario for us before, and now more than ever they will try and realize it. In any case, this scenario won’t succeed,” he said, without identifying the people he considers could threaten the Kremlin.
Russia has crushed Islamist separatists in two wars in Chechnya in the last 15 years, and continues to battle a lingering insurgency in the wider Caucasus region. The region is the epicenter of terrorism in Russia, with most of the high-profile attacks in recent years claimed by or attributed to Caucasus rebels.

Wow! Obama is even further left than the Ruskies.
.
THE WON is an empty suit. HE hasn’t a clue of what to do. HE doesn’t know whether to s**t or go blind.
Great … coming from the country that has been dealing bullshit with these countries since the fall of the USSR.
Med and Vlad are playing all side in this war.
When the Iranians finally blow up a nuke the Rusties will say, “Dah, wuz berry bad.”
The Putin “Mini Me” is funny.
He hit the nail on the head.
Simple as that.
Leftist know that…they are glad this happening, think about it.
It’ll be interesting to watch how quickly we can recover our domestic oil industry. There may be an WWII industrial moment about to happen.
My wish.
Why don’t we and the Russians agree to a deal for the oil assets and nuke the muzzies off the face of the planet?

Nyet.
The Russians and the Chinese have figured that they can have all the oil by using Islam to nuke US .

The Chinese economy badly needs all the fuel resources it can get, and the Russians have plenty of oil.
Their respective roles have just reversed.

Maggie,
Excellent comment. The Russians work with Iran and their terrorist proxies all day long. Medvedev has some Islamic problems otherwise and he starts warning about radical Islam? Puhleese….
Ya think Vladie ! And you have been selling them equipment, information, scientist know-how..to create their weapons of mass destruction/nukes..there by enriching and emboldening them. But your day is coming-we know who the Bible says will be crushed ..

Hey America,
Did you not support these Arab Tyrannies? These Islamic Tyrannies are on the door step of Russia, unlike U.S. of A., which are an ocean away from these Islamic Lunatics.
Hey, maybe you Americans initiated these Arab Revolts to hem in the Ruskies, no?
Anyway, you’ve been supplied Arab oil long enough, maybe Arabs want to sell to the Ruskies, or the Chinese, or the Indians.
Why? Your U.S. dollar is collapsing, thanks to the the criminals in your midst.
Anyways, why would these newly minted Arab Lunatics want to accept U.S. dollars?
Maybe they’re not as Loony as they look, mmm?
I sure am glad its the Russians and not us on the same land mass with those worthless damn Muslims! At least the Russians dont have to fight with one hand tied behind their backs because of politically correctness!
It didn’t take Mr. Moto to figure that one out.
Cold these events be pointing to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38?!

I believe Obama understands and supports all that is happening in the Muslim world.
Hence the deafening silence.
It’s not as if I WANT to see things go badly, but when I tune into the nightly news and all of this ‘revolution’ is reported as a good thing, for the most part without much question (seen the cover of TIME magazine lately?) how can I not be cynical? What good reason is there to think that things are all rosy and that a neat functional, semi-pro western democracy will take root in any of these places?
“I believe Obama understands and supports all that is happening in the Muslim world.

If that weren’t the case then why was he so mad at Hillary when she “made it seem” like the United States was supporting a dictator?
It’s not like Obama said let’s stop giving them 1.5$billion a year when he first got to office. He did nothing about The United States’ support of this “dictator” that he can’t stand. Or something…
“Anyways, why would these newly minted Arab Lunatics want to accept U.S. dollars?”
Ya got a better currency?
The Middle East has a bright future indeed, fires everywhere for decades.
We can be sure there will be at least 7 years of tribulation to come. Some of us will see how much tribulation occurs before the 7 years begins. We are all dying. It is only a matter of time for any of us. Were the grave all there was we will never know but the grave is not and when we get out we are all in trouble were it not for Jesus.
We need a Sputnik moment for the ME. Surely the brain trust in Libya can bring us some exciting green technologies.
