If not, we're just parsing words.

So it is safe to say that a large portion of her supporters are pro war. I assume that they are on board with, like Mrs Clinton, torture, cluster bombs, the spending of our healthcare/infrastructure/education money on boodoggles, and regime change. I wonder if they were pro war during the Bush years(making them conservatives), or just recently (making them hypocrites).

And seeing what Israel needs (war with Iran).

This combined with her no fly zone in Syria proposal ensures war with Russia.

She's a huge war hawk.

Shameful anyone endorses this.

You have the original outlay on weapons and military, an enormous loss of life, an unstoppable degradation of the environment and the kind of pollution that would take the treasure of several nations to restore, and historical sites are lost forever. Then it sets the stage for health catastrophes and rampant pandemics. It is the moral obligation of the sane leadership, if there is any left, to move beyond this ultimately self-destructive brutality.
