[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gay rights stuff is concerning, but the complaints about her meeting Assad are totally ignorant and uniformed. Gabbard is the only Dem in the field who actually wants to place limits on US wars abroad. Vast majority of "progressive" democrats are just totally in the dark about foreign policy and war.

I personally think that Putin was right about Assad, and that typical Syrians would be much better off living under the rule of an authoritarian dictator than with going through a civil war. Assad wasn’t evil enough to justify a civil war.

But Putin is trying to herd US here into having a hot civil war. He wants us to be at war with Canada, and the United Kingdom to be at war with Germany.

Putin hasn’t done one thing to try to clear away the impression that he’s trying to manipulate us, and to use poisonings and mass shootings to scare our leaders into doing his bidding.

Under these circumstances, distance from Putin’s grasp is more important than subtlety or accuracy of foreign policy thought.

Right now, I’d much rather have a candidate who’s a strong supporter of the EU, NATO, the World Bank, the IMF, and other international agreements and institutions than a candidate who’s right about a particular course of action.

All of those institutions have their faults, but this is a time to wear blindfolds and stick with the institutions, not to
let Putin use images of institutional horrors herd us into destroying ourselves.[/quote]
