If Russia tries to become the dominant super power meddling in the region they will feel the shit hitting the fan just like the US has so its a very real possibility.

If Biden doesn't run, does Obama endorse Clinton?

We left too early and we've been paying for it. Staying there is NOT the same issue as going there in the first place. I feel like people started equating staying to starting and not addressing what we may have created by leaving. You're not going to hear a democrat admit that because it is too damning to Obama (and by extension, Hillary to a degree). Staying their longer wouldn't have fixed anything unless we wanted to be there for the next 25 years. And the US people are straight up not willing to pay for that.

Webb's answer to national security one of the first good things he said.

Yeah, I get why people want to act like it was a choice to leave Iraq in retrospect, but at the time, it wasn't a choice. It was mandated. (And staying there wasn't providing any long-term answers, I don't get what people think it would have solved).
I thought Bernie answered the Vietnam-objector question well.

This is hilariously wrong. No one with any aptitude for foreign policy agrees with this.

Global Climate change as the greatest threat? Uninhabitable planet? Hyperbole much?
I agree that climate change is a very serious issue, but that hyperbole was just stupid, and exposes him to a fact check that he will lose.

Yes, Daunt, I remember your complete appeal-to-authority on this issue as well.
Too bad your authority and aptitude doesn't matter. No one wanted us in Iraq at that point (rightfully). That's what a mandate is. Obama promised to leave and then he got elected, largely on that promise.

well its not just uninhabitable planet. just look at sea levels rising and the amount of people who are going to be displaced. and we think the refugee problem is bad now. saying uninhabitable planet is a bit much though.

Hillary is just laughing all the way to the bank right now. Every question is one any competent candidate would have prepared for and no candidate is willing to call her out for flip flops, or willing to call out Obama/his administration on anything.

Bernie won't play your fucking games!

And that is true and what I was expecting him to say. But he went with the entire planet being uninhabitable...

The way Bernie says "Anderson" I just want him to start giving orders to him. ANDERSON! Get me a water~!
|
Bernie! :D Great response.
|
To me it seems that defending Hillary on this front is politically popular. if you want the DNC nomination.
|
This hand picked pro-Hillary crowd is sickening. These drones will clap no matter what she says. It can't get anymore scripted and obvious.
|
Hah, all of these democrats are a bunch of pussies. They're going to let the republicans do their dirty work for them on the email thing.
