(84,711 posts)War Hawk Language left over from the Cold War. How is Putin an adversary to the US? This isn't the "Communist Soviet Union" we have to deal with, anymore. That sounds like he's on a "Terrorist Watch List" and how is that a good start to a campaign?
I'm disappointed she's started out like this. She seems to be clear that her Foreign Policy will be a continuation of the same Foreign Policy which we've lived through under Bush and now Obama. Foreign Policy is very important. It's been draining resources from our economy and taxpayer dollars for too long now. She can't do all those programs she wants to do (neither could Obama fulfill his promises) when the mighty "MIC" keeps growing and demanding more and more.
And, why nix Obama/Kerry's Efforts with Iran at this crucial moment? Why would she do that? Is this a break from them in FP where she doesn't want to deal with Iran except as an Enemy?
I wait to hear more on FP from Bernie, but his emphasis on rebuilding America is more convincing to me than Hillary's platitudes, at this point in the Campaign Season.
