Quote:Fun fact: we arm everyone. It's kind of our thing.


I'm not absolving her for allowing arms to get in the hands of ISIS in Syria. In my opinion, a black ops team should have taken out Assad the moment he started using chemical weapons on his own people. I realize that's not diplomacy and a violation of a number of international laws. Oh well. Russia's involvement destabilized the area and Hillary took part in trying to help rebels fight an evil dictator. As has happened many times in the past, arms got into the hands of our enemies. It's a [BAD WORD REMOVED] up we seem to make too often. And of course Russia got the Crimean peninsula out of it. I cannot blame Hillary or Obama for actions Russia initiated. They felt the sting of economic sanctions and leveraged the biggest chip they had left: their military. I do not think much would be different if there were a different president or Secretary of State to be honest. Russia's decision to back Assad makes sense as they don't have many dance partners on the international stage and they found a way to offset their economic losses while making a land grab. So yeah.. I blame Russia for putting us back in a semi cold war state. They've been posturing a move like that for years if you recall the G8 summit where Putin was virtually by himself the whole time. All that said.. I absolutely feel Hillary would be better than Trump on foreign policy. Though I freely admit she sucks [BAD WORD REMOVED] as a candidate and any marginally acceptable Republican candidate would gladly get my vote. Trump doesn't come close to meeting the minimum qualifications.

 

In addition to all this that I've said, and now you have also stated---  Trump's positions would have created the same situaiton.  It's not as though trump has stated anything in the past that would have put the USA and ISIS on a different trajectory.

 

Trump was for getting rid of Quadafi, trump was for bailing out of Iraq.  Trump was for the removal of Assad...  The generals and the american people's will was for funding the rebels and not getting into a ground war in both Lybia and then at the beginning of the Syrian civil war.  

 

Again, trumpettes try to paint a utopia based on trumpisms.  Yet when you boil it down, the dude has no clue what he's talking about or what he would have done differently.

 

Heck, his new plan against ISIS is asking the generals to tell him what to do.  LOL!  That's what's going on now!!  The generals don't change after January 21st.  The fuhrer has no clothes!!!
