Trump agreed with her on the no fly zone, it as one of the few times in either debate he fully agreed with her...so you think he too wants to start ww3? Or are we just overlooking facts as usual?

I'm not overlooking the facts. I'm merely noting what was said in the video. Based on the exchange presented in that video it would appear Donald Trump is more sensible. There rebels in Syria are pretty much all crazy Islamists and should not be supported.

P.S. Donald Trump is supposed to be friends with Putin so there is that. So I don't think he would have Russian planes shot down on purpose. At the every least Donald gave the appearance of being more sensible.

Edit: And can I just add that if Hilary is given a free pass for being a flip-flippor then it's only fair Donald gets a free pass too. I don't think anybody should get a free pass for not to being consistent personally (and Donald has said some terrible things). I'm merely noting Donald evolution on the issue, which is in a good direction, rather like Hilary's evolution on equal marriage.

No, she is not. At least not in my book. That's the first reason I didn't like her at the start of the election process.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Yeah, I am going to side with the military/diplomatic/intelligence experts around the world that unanimously agree that ground troops in Syria would be a bad thing, and that you can't get much worse than Assad.

No one is saying that America should forcibly remove Assad, but if you want to solve this refugee crisis and bring stability to that region, it's pretty clear Assad's gotta go. That means supporting Iraqi, Kurdish, and Iranian troops on the ground, and seriously pressuring the Saudis to do something.

The argument that creating a vacuum will always bring ISIS is just dumb. Power vacuums happen all of the time, and when the vacation is Assad or the like, sometimes you have to take your chances.

Besides, no matter what happens in Syria, WWIII is not a plausible result.

I hope you're right Mr Steel Curtain. Maybe I'm too paranoid. I'm really concerned about the Russia blaming coming out of the Hilary camp. I'm not convinced Present Obama (or Donald or Hilary) has the best interests of the Syrian people in mind. And they certainly don't care about the war crimes being commuted the Yemen

I don't think anyone knows how to solve the situation over there, it's incredibly complicated. I just know that boots on the ground is a bad thing and so is provoking the Russians. We should definitely be supporting the Kurds a lot more.

Appear is the key word. The guy's a pathological liar, make no mistake about it.

That certainly isn't intended to be a Trump endorsement. But he's less likely to go full chest pounding gorilla on Russia. But that's about the only thing speaking in his favor as far as foreign policy is concerned.
