AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Hillary Clinton personifies delusion



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
