Hillary Clinton personifies delusion
Insecure, transparently phony, privately nasty, and unlikable, she has no political gifts other than her marriage.Her performance since law school has ranged from, at best, undistinguished, to a disastrous tenure as Secretary of State. She embraced foreign interventionism and regime change that had clearly failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, rebranding it as a “Responsibility to Protect.” At Clinton’s behest, the people of Libya were “protected” out of Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorship and into the bloody chaos of a failed state and new Islamic State stronghold. She blessed arms shipments from Libya to Syria to help US-backed rebels foment a revolution similar to the one that had failed in Libya. Her characterization of Vladimir Putin as Hitler set up a cardboard devil that prevented her from understanding either the point of view of the other major nuclear power’s leader or the subtleties of one of the US’s most important international relationships. One expects far better from America’s chief diplomat. Running the Table, by Robert Gore | STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC

“She embraced foreign interventionism and regime change that had clearly failed in Afghanistan and Iraq.”
Slow the roll, Sparky. I realize 9/11 was 15 years ago but going into Afghanistan was absolutely needed. Full stop.
To now say it was unnecessary or “foreign interventionism” is taking a page from the left’s book of ‘Revisionist History 101'.
There’s plenty to slam Pantsuit with so there’s no need to delve into deep waters. Her shit is floating right on top

"....going into Afghanistan was absolutely needed."
=================
You are wrong and I'm not going to waste time explaining. But I will say you better start paying attention, for your own good. Just a friendly suggestion.
That that klintin bitch isn't rotting in jail right now is an indication of the depth of the criminality perpetrated by the entire US gov't.

Many of the MENA countries were considered "nonaligned" but were pretty much in the Soviet orbit. We therefore did our best to effect regime change in places like Libya, Egypt, and Syria. With the Soviets gone, why did we bother to foment the overthrow of Qadaffi, and why do we continue to try to overthrow Bashar Hafez al-Assad? Seems like many of the people of Syria fared better with the strongman in charge.

Maybe YOU did but I had nothing to do with it.
I make it a habit to stay out of other people's bidnit unless it directly effects me.
The property line is over there. If you're on the other side of it you and I will most likely get along. If you're on this side of it you'll only get a very brief instant to correct your mistake.
Notice the absence of *we*.
If I want your help I'll hire you with fair compensation.
