One Bernie supporter to others OP/ED

Name me one politician in the past 50 years that has not made deals with our enemies? China isn't pro gay, we buy oil from the Middle East, and don't hand me crap that Bush Jr and Reagan didn't do the same thing. Unfortunately our globe is just that, and we cant get off this rock away from our enemies, and we have to deal with them, even when we don't want to. 

So unless you can find a way to ship them off to another planet or galaxy, or get us to another planet or galaxy, deal with the real world we live in. No, I don't like it when we deal with our enemies, but what is the alternative, WW3? If that happens the entire species will be knocked back to the stone age or worse, go extinct.

The ride ends for friend and foe alike and we can piss on our enemies and act as if genocide will fix everything, but that is absurd and deadly and no way for a western leader to be diplomatic. If you want to follow the hollow talk of demagoguery and saber rattling North Korea and Kim Jong Un would be a better fit.  But even China doesn't like him. They put up with him because they don't want a refugee problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The mayor of my town is a politician and they don't fly around the world making deals with enemies.

The point is, somebody like Hilary (and Donald) is inconsistent. When it comes to Iran, DPRK, Cuba etc the United States will happily bemoan the lack of democracy and human rights. The United States is eager for reforms in those countries. Whilst Saudi beheads more people than any other country and there is no outrage. Flags are flown half mast for dead Saudi kings.

If you fly your flags half mast for dead Saudi kings, then why not fly the flags half mast for the death Kim Jong-Il too? Where is the consistency? I do not expect (but I do hope for) consistency from somebody like Obama or the Clintons.

The U.S. goverment has known Saudi did 9/11 for over a decade yet they remain friendly with them. Saudi is far more of a threat than Iran but there is no outrage. That makes Hilary a hypocrite. If she's concerned about Iran then she should certainly concerned about Saudi. It's no secret Saudi finances terrorists around the world.

Saudi manufactures enemies for the West to bomb. All those Sunni terrorists in Iraq and Syria get supported by Saudi. Saddam Hussein got the blame for the work of Saudi and I'm not hearing any apologies to the Iraqi people for turning their country into the stuff of nightmares.

Really? No' most of global interaction is at the Congressional Presidential level. That is what I meant. I could give a shit less about one Mayor,  that is one person in out of a much bigger sample rate in any case. It is completely delusional to say we can be total isolationists, and not only is that delusional it is stupid. I don't like dealing with our enemies, but the world is a globe and there is no more room for expansion and a 3rd world nuclear war is not an option.

Yea please lecture me on flags when Bush attacked Iraq when the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Your cherry picking because China is not a western open society so be consistent.
