(135,425 posts)It is not an "opinion" that Sanders has no interest in foreign policy. He is in his seventies and has yet to give any substantial speech or in depth observations world affairs in 33 years of public life. Aside from a trip to the Soviet Union eons ago, he doesn't have any credible foreign experience.
He doesn't make any "efforts." He offers -- when pressed -- simplistic non-solutions that are based in a firm lack of understanding. And if you don't like my sources, come up with some credible ones (not from his campaign) that demonstrate that he has a grasp of world affairs.
All this "fatalism" buzzwording can't make up for this simple fact: The guy doesn't know what he's talking about--that "Kumbayah" commentary about Iran and KSA proved it. He embarrassed himself, and he's made no effort to come up to speed on what is a POTUS's primary job.
That should be frightening to anyone who remembers the George W. Bush administration.
