Bernie: No US embassy in Tehran.

[ucrdem]

How is this different from Hillary?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He doesn't have to have a different position on every single thing.

It's premature to re-open an embassy in Tehran but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be any diplomatic relations at all.

[ucrdem]

7. I'm not getting the sense that his foreign policy is less hawkish than Hillary's

But she seems to know a lot more about it.

[ucrdem]

2. Holy cow his first priority is destroying ISIS, second getting rid of Asad

How is THAT better than Hillary??

[jfern]

3. He's not unconditionally going to open an embassy

But it'll sure be more likely than under Hillary.

[ucrdem]

4. He also called Assad a butcher who gassed his own people.

That's straight-up neocon boilerplate. Has he studied the issue at all? His answers are way too simplistic.

[jfern]

6. Well, he's certainly less of a hawk than Hillary

[ucrdem]

8. I'm not hearing that at all.

Assad a butcher who gasses his own people? did he get that from dick Cheney?

[Duckhunter935]

5. not immediately

But in the future,

[ucrdem]

9. It's not just the embassy but his whole approach sounds at least as hawkish & punitive as Hillary's.

I thought FP was one of his selling points?
