Clinton’s Foreign Policy Predicament

After her dismal “foreign policy” speech there are problems with the foreign policy of Clinton…..

Some people seem to think that the election is in the bag for Clinton….that she can do no wrong and will be crowned as soon as possible……

Me?  I am worried that if she does win the election that this country will be ass deep in conflicts for many years to come…..Clinton is more neocon than Cheney……

Her foreign policy has me in a dither……

The Clinton campaign has some strange ideas about what motivates voters. The New York Times reports:

While Mrs. Clinton must be cautious not to alienate liberal Democrats who oppose some of her hawkish foreign policy stances, her campaign says national security could be the catalyst that drives independents and wavering Republicans to support her this fall.

There are probably a handful of voters that vote primarily on foreign policy that choose Clinton for this reason, but other than that it is more likely not to matter or might even be a liability for her. The safe bet is that foreign policy qualifications will have almost no effect on voting intentions, but if it does have an effect it probably won’t be the one that Clinton’s allies want.

The media is on-board with Clinton and her hawkish policies…..after listening to her on the stump I am not confident with her international “blueprint”……

Two weeks ago the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) released a report entitled “Extending American Power: Strategies to Expand U.S. Engagement in a Competitive World Order.” It could just as easily have been entitled “What Hillary Should Do When She Gets Elected, and Why She Should Hire Us to Do It.” The report’s authors run the gamut from interventionist Republican neocons like Robert Kagan to Democratic hawks like Michele Fluornoy, the co-founder of CNAS and a possible candidate for Secretary of Defense in a Hillary Clinton administration. There is not a fresh or independent voice in the lot. As Stephen Walt rightly points out in his take-down of the report in Foreign Policy, this is at best a status quo document, and at worst a doubling down on the failed policies of the past two decades. And why should we expect otherwise? After all, as Walt notes, “the report’s signatories helped create many of the problems they now seek to fix, so you’d hardly expect them to cast a critical eye on their own handiwork.”

Like I have said….her policies disturb me……I want to see the extent of the US interventionism grow smaller not be extended….Clinton will stretch this country’s capabilities to the max……possibly to the breaking point.

There is only one thing I can say….Clinton CANNOT count on me for a vote.

How about you?

  1. I believe Democrats are faced with a great dilemma. Choosing the lesser of two evils is definitely not exciting. Maybe we should do a write-in.

    1. If only all states allowed trhem then maybe something would change….but it would only depend who gets written in….
