Given the mad attempts to gun up an unnecessary and dangerous conflict with Russia in Syria and the Ukraine, Trump has it right, at least in his rhetoric:
Hillary’s talk about the suffering in Syria was disgusting and hypocritical, given how she and Obama’s administration are guilty of pouring petrol on that fire, by supporting the insurgents, including Islamist fanatics, and attempting an unhinged and schizophrenic policy of trying both to overthrow Assad and to oppose ISIS at the same time (Hillary and her State Department’s mad strategy to topple Assad is analysed here). Her anti-Russian propaganda is hysterical, deceitful and dangerous. Trump was correct to attack her over the disastrous intervention in Libya and his hints at a more sane policy in Syria.
It was stunning that Trump even disagreed with his running mate Pence and was firm in opposing any American attacks on the Assad regime. It’s a pity that Trump had to spoil this with a bit of anti-Russian talk.
And, all in all, despite all of Trump’s bad points, he still sounded better on economic matters.
