Would you trust Hillary to keep us out of a war with Russia, and/or WWIII?

[AZ Progressive]

[Live and Learn]

1. Nope. nt

[VulgarPoet]

2. No. nt

[bbgrunt]

4. no, she always has to prove how "tough" she is.

[TheDormouse]

5. Don't be silly. Of course. Even Bush-Cheney kept out of war with Russia

for cryin out loud.

Clinton was Sec of State 2009 - 2013. Did we go to war with Russia then?

I think she will work very hard to avoid war with Russia or China.

NOT sure she will make the best choices dealing with war/s in the Middle East, though.

19. Secretaries of State have no power to declare war

But they apparently do have the power to stir up local hornets' nests.

And Bush and Cheney had no interest in declaring war on Russia-- hell, Bush even had his own cute little nickname for the Russian leader-- Pooty-Poot. And Bush's 2nd Secretary of State was supposedly a Russian specialist who showed no particular qualms with Russia-- after all, Russia was going gung-ho capitalist in those days.

[longship]

37. Neither does POTUS.

41. Well, technically speaking you're right

"The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding a presidential veto."

But then, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission:

"It has been alleged that the War Powers Resolution has been violated in the past – for example, by President Bill Clinton in 1999, during the bombing campaign in Kosovo. Congress has disapproved all such incidents, but none has resulted in any successful legal actions being taken against the president for alleged violations."

6. Let's start with the possibility of a war with Iran...

[NanceGreggs]

7. ...

[COLGATE4]

39. It's beginning to be silly. Next question:

Will Hillary slaughter 3 week old Golden Retriever puppies in the Oval Office to celebrate winning the Presidency? Stay tuned- inquiring minds want to know.

Jeez Louise.

[Hoyt]

8. Completely!

[gwheezie]

10. Yes nt

[2pooped2pop]

11. Nope, there WILL be war if Hillary is Potus

It's big money for her friends

[Agnosticsherbet]

12. No one could keep us out of WWIII.

She will keep us out of a war with Russia unless NATO gets involved. That's up to Turkey who appears to want a fight.
Clinton will respect our agreement with Iran, though they may end up in a war with the Saudi's who want a war with Syria.
It's a dangerous world.

[Arazi]

13. NO!!!!!

[HooptieWagon]

14. From her record, it appears she just likes bombing darker-skinned people.

Russia might get a pass.

[Juicy_Bellows]

15. I don't think she is wanting WW3 outright but I do fear she does not fear war. NT.

[Blue State Bandit]

16. нет

Hell no.

[John Poet]

17. I do fear Hillary would get us into a war-- "by increments"

Goodbye my sweetheart, hello Viet Nam.

[TIME TO PANIC]

18. In all honesty, NO.

...but I don't think she would lead us into WW3 deliberately.

[SamKnause]

20. No.

Hell no.

[grasswire]

21. NO!!

Libya.

[Kip Humphrey]

22. Reason #2 why I voted for Bernie Sanders.

[ThePhilosopher04]

23. I wouldn't trust her to add 2+2 and get 4. She is completely untrustworthy.

There is only one candidate who will keep us out of perpetual war, and that is Bernie F. Sanders.

[Depaysement]

24. Absolutely not

If she wins, get ready for at least one new war.

[leveymg]

25. No. I only trust her to protect the self-determined interests of a small foreign power

no matter what it costs us.

[JDPriestly]

26. No. She has a quick temper and poor judgment.

[ucrdem]

27. We're going to have to.

As for Bernie I have no confidence whatever in his abilities or intentions as he's basically taken a page from the Clinton I playbook and run on the economy period.

[loyalsister]

28. Not in the least

From the fantasy about being under fire in Bosnia to the nauseatingly macho action movie "we came, we saw, he died' commentary, I get the impression that she glorifies war as much as the recent president who just had to wear the flight suit.
It is truly creepy.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. Nyet.

[Kittycat]

30. No

[Warren DeMontague]

31. One good thing about being ruled by rich people, they have a vested interest in the world not ending

[Onlooker]

32. Are you delusional? n/t

[dana_b]

33. Absolutely not n/t

[AtomicKitten]

34. No, quite the opposite.

[840high]

35. NO

[Bjornsdotter]

36. Not at all n/t

[jfern]

38. She called for a no fly zone where Russian planes are flying, so nope

[Bad Dog]

40. One heck of a lot more than I would the Republicans.

Appeasement also leads to war in the long run. There's a fine line.

[RedCappedBandit]

42. No

[treestar]

43. Of course.

This particular means of attack on Hillary are delusional at best.

[Vinca]

44. Hillary wants a "no-fly" zone in an area where Russian military jets are flying.

What could possibly go wrong?
