Was it wise for President Obama to order Putin to send troops to Syria?

Obama never ordered Putin to send troops to Syria, so this is non-issue. However, if he did so, it would be unwise since Putin would buttress the Assad Regime against the US interest in supporting the Free Syrian Army.

Will President Obama honor Putin's order to evacuate Syria?
NO. Putin gave no such order and Obama has actually increased US presence in Syria over the llast year. The exact opposite has happened, with Putin primarily withdrawing from Syria.
Will President Obama stand firm with Vladimir Putin on maintaining Ukraine in the Russian Sphere of Influence?
Yes. President Obama made clear to then President Medvedev (now Prime Minister) that he could work more closely with the Russians after Obama won re-election. President Obama has been true to his word and has been a close ally with President Putin in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Venezuela, Cuba, and Ukraine. President Obama would also like to work with Putin on eliminating U.S. nuclear weapons but the Republicans will likely block this initiative.
Did Presidents Putin and Obama create the Ukraine Crisis to get distract people from the Obamacare disaster?
In a word yes. Both presidents are Progressives and they seem to have a great affinity for one another. President Putin, as the senior partner have been mentoring and protecting Obama since Obama was elected. Last year Putin saved Obama from his ill-advised "Red Line" policy in Syria. President Obama's single minded focus has been promoting the Affordable Care Act. Putin has been helping Obama on the international stage by moving into geographical areas that Obama wants to abandon. Also Putin offered Edward Snowden sanctuary which gave Obama an out on that crisis. Recently the Right Wing in U.S. (no friend to Obama or Putin) have been attacking the Affordable Care Act. Putin stage a fake crisis in Crimea to distract these mutual enemies. This will give president Obama the opportunity to complete the deployment of Obama care. If necessary President Obama will give Putin all of Ukraine.The only short term casualty is Secretary of State Kerry's Global Warming initiative.
Can Vladimir Putin save Obama in the budget crisis like he did with Syria?
Vladimir Putin certainly could save Obama again as he did in Syria and Iran but remember he has his own country to run. He does not have time to save Obama everytime he stumbles or bumbles. Putin stopped the Obama's madness in the attempted attack on the Syrians to prevent a third World War. Obama's distruction of the USA economy likely will not hurt anyone outside the U.S. and would not show up on Putin's crisis radar screen. Until Obama threatens other countries Putin will not get involved. Also don't expect Russia to bail the USA out.
Is Putin OK with Obama leading from behind in Syria?
Putin would actually prefer less US involvement or more coordinated US involvement as Russia implements its own foreign policy will in Syria. Currently, the US and Russia have different priorities, with the US wanting to support the Free Syrian Army and Russia wanting to support Assad. Both can agree to oppose Islamic State and Putin would likely prefer cooperation on those grounds, if only to avoid friendly fire.
Should president Obama win a second nobel prize for his handling of the crimea crisis?
Possibly. It would make more sense to split it between President Vladimir Putin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama for Crimea, Syria, Iran and Egypt.
Can Obama claim Mission Accomplished in Syria?
No, because the mission is ongoing. Vladimir Putin was able to get his allies in Syria to agree with a UN proposal to allow inspections and to turn over chemical weapons. The same plan was also proposed by several diplomats, including John Kerry, but fortunately, Putin was able to move it forward, having previously stopped any efforts to punish Syria. It is still unclear whether Syria will in fact turn over all of their chemical weapons, and President Obama has said the US reserves the right to take future action if they do not.
Why does Obama want to Chemical bomb Syria and blame it on President Assad?
There is no evidence that President Obama has authorized any chemical bombs. There are many rumors and myths online, and this assertion is one of them. It is false.
Is Barack Obama declaring war?
No, there is no evidence he is declaring war. President Obama said that if Syrian President Assad refused to stop using chemical weapons on his citizens, the US and others in the world community would take action. But there has been no declaration of war, and the president has stated he would not send US troops to fight there. Further, the president has expressed his preference for a diplomatic solution to the civil war in Syria, rather than a military one.
Why should US troops leave Syria?
There are no US troops in Syria, so there is no-one to withdraw.
What Will Barack Obama do to stop the war?
Your question is ambiguous. There are currently two wars in which the US is involved. Iraq (where most of the US troops have been removed), and Afghanistan. There is no indication that the US will pull completely out of Iraq any time soon, and recent agreements between Obama and the Afghani government keep US troops there well past the end of the Obama administration (in the neighborhood of 2025). If you are asking about Syria, the US has no dog in that fight. It is a political maelstrom whipped up by an over-reaching US president, and a previously disinterested Russian president. There is no US war in Syria, and precious little anyone can do from the outside to stop the "war" that is going on there, as it has been going on for about the past three thousand years. Anything President Obama intends is his to share or keep secret as thus far he has.
Will President Obama attack Isis?
President Obama has already ordered attacks against Islamic State/ISIS targets inside Iraq, and his administration is looking into the feasibility of attacks against targets of the same terrorist group in Syria.
