WHY I WOULDN'T BE CHEERING FOR HILLARY CLINTON AS PRESIDENT
The result of a Quiz I took shows I am siding 86% with Sanders, 81% with Clinton and 76% with O'Malley, republican candidates coming all after. I do favor Sanders.
But I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton because I do not trust her. Like many ''other'' Americans, I find her a bit dishonest, and as she is a lot driven by personal ambition; she would say and do anything to win.
She was and still is totally wrong on her foreign policies, wrong if the goal is to bring peace into the world. She was an awful Secretary of State, acting as she was the Secretary of the States of Saudi Arabia and Israel. I hold her responsible for the ''250 000 Syrian victims'', because of her policy of promoting ''regime change'' in the Arab world including in Syria, destroying the stability and peace in that country.
She says things that are crazy dangerous, like preparing a military confrontation with Russia and with ''Putin who is a bully'', she said, or imposing a no-flight-zone in Syria, which means military escalation, when efforts are made by John Kerry with his Russians, Iranians, and European counterparts to find a political solution.
She has blamed the Iraqi government for the creation of ISIS (she did it again during the debates)! When it is clear to any honest expert that ISIS is the result of years of Bush's military occupation of Iraq, which she supported, and of humiliating Iraqis and promoting Islamism.
She is and was arrogant as Secretary of State (using her personal email to discuss world problems just an illustration of how she mixes personal ambition with national interests and world politics) and surrounded herself with hawkish advisers or personal friends.
She used to call Obama ''naive'' in wanting to talk to Iran and never stopped bashing Iran. It is fashionable to do so in North America, and it makes the Saudis, the very rich emir of Qatar, the hawkish Netanyahu, and the military-industrial complex siding with her. She and her husband accepted millions of dollars paid by Saudis to the Clinton Foundation. - 20 million in only one payment.
The cases of her being unethical and of her wrongdoings I cannot list all here.
She isn't a leader, and certainly not a leader the world needs for Peace and for stopping the destruction of our environment (physical and moral). If her position as Secretary of State is an indication of how she would act as President, she would follow media's trends and friends' advice to make decisions: decisions with huge global consequences and ramifications she is unable to predict or even think of.
I don't know, but I would be worried of decisions made by a mixture of arrogance and ignorance on one hand, and her strong urge to prove that she, as a woman, can be as hawkish and stupid as a man.
I rather have a man like Barack Obama who acts as loving and sensitive as a woman.
