It’s been my observation that democrats really don’t give a crap about foreign policy in general. Their agenda revolves around domestic policy in the sense of achieving total control over everything and everyone at home, and little else. Hence, you get destructive infantilism abroad while they pile up as much personal money at home as they can. Carter was a joke overseas, except for his virulent hatred of Israel and Jews; Clinton had his orgy of selloffs to China for re-election; and obama has his caliphate to achieve in the US.
So, for liberals to be concerned about a republican’s take on foreign policy is a walk in the fog for them.
Yes. Carter and Obama never met a dictator they couldn’t warm up to.
