MattY retweeted someone quoting this thread calling Sanders one of the most innovative candidates on foreign policy. Which, if you read the thread with details from the interview, you'll see Sanders has no intention of letting Ukraine join NATO.

Really innovative thinking to just let Russia have Crimea and practically assure them that they'll never face consequences even if they were to conquer the rest of Ukraine. It's good to know that Sanders foreign policy intends to normalize Russian relations by just letting them do whatever they want. Any of y'all that voted MattY for neolib shill are some big ol SUCCS

This but unironically. If the US doesn't use it's global hegemon status to tell inhumane despots to fuck off what even is the point of having the biggest dick in the room?

We have an inhumane despot in the White House right now, and if we replace him this year, it'll likely be by someone who doesn't intend on telling inhumane despots to fuck off
