Battle of the Democrats

Democrats debate IS after Paris attacks

Bernie is wrong to say global warming is the greatest threat we face today, even supposing it is real and not just a convenient anti-capitalist fraud.

(Remember Naomi Klein. Remember the Kyoto Treaty, so egregiously stupid for the Occident. These things make one mistrustful.)

Radiological weapons?

Nukes?

Does he not understand what these people would do if they could?

And Hillary is only less wrong to insist this is something we should leave to others.

Quasi-Islamist Turkey and the even worse Gulf states? Really?

We could let the French take the lead, if they want to and are able, but we have to join with the Russians in prioritizing the fight against radical Islam over moon-eyed Wilsonian exportation of democracy.

Is anyone among the candidates of either party, Trump excepted, willing to do that?

Not that I know of.

Not the Democrats, ostensibly because of their Wilsonism but perhaps also because of Cold War II.

Not the Republicans, and only because of Cold War II.

Sheer, great power geopolitics.

Read Brzezinski, to see what they think.
