13005138, Kasich's record on foreign policy is inconsistent; often contradictory Posted by Vex_id, Thu Apr-14-16 05:11 PM
But Clinton's record on foreign policy is rock-solid consistent: She's a war-hawk who has voted for military intervention and has been the loudest proponent of regime-change abroad within the Democratic party for years now.
Unlike Clinton - Kasich actually has stood against military intervention and senseless militarism - whether it was against Reagan's 1983 plan to militarize Lebanon - or his common sense stance on exercising restraint in Libya (he even called Clinton out for her war hawk'ing in Libya) - he actually has proven to be the more sensible, careful purveyor of military force when you contrast his record with Clinton's.
Now - that's not saying much. Kasich has a pretty horrific record on foreign policy, en masse. It's just that Clinton's record on war and foreign policy is *so* abominable that it actually makes Kasich look fairly decent in comparison.
So when we try to champion Clinton's progressive credentials - yet gloss over her deplorable foreign policy record - we do a disservice to not just America's security - but global security at-large.
