1. Interdependence between national security at home and security for those beyond our borders.
... Sanders believes Americans are more secure, not less, if U.S. policy helps people abroad escape fear and deprivation. ... Sanders would approach the goal in different ways, by helping people find safety and security primarily through nonmilitary means, and by addressing what he sees as the root rather than proximate causes of global instability.
...While Clinton has set a 65,000-person cap on refugees from Syria, Sanders says there is no magic number. Sanders says that welcoming civilians fleeing disaster and danger will do more to delegitimize the Islmaic State and Assad than sending in drones or troops.
...
2. Global and local politics, and economic and political power, are deeply connected
Sanders has made it clear that to project U.S. power abroad, the country must strengthen the moral foundations of that power with policies at home...Sanders thinks beyond the state to emphasize cross-cutting threats to both domestic and global democratic institutions. He understands that soft power at home is threatened by militarism, income inequality and fear.
...
...
Murphy, Shatz and Heinrich have called for a New Marshal Plan to promote human and global security abroad, an investment they say will yield returns in protecting U.S. interests at home.
Thats the position Sanders has been articulating.
3. Examine the evidence when assessing threats.
... Sanders is not afraid to instead talk frankly about climate change as the most fundamental national security threat of our age.
...Sanderss willingness to help civilians flee conflict as an alternative to no-fly zones is consistent with social science findings that the strategic and economic gains of welcoming refugees far outweigh the security risks, while the reverse can be true for military intervention in complex emergencies.

He may not be afraid to talk climate change, but I’m afraid he will.
What a mess.
My crude excerpts or Sander’s “not just surrender but also pay tribute” foreign policy?
Bernie's World Of Free Stuff
he wants to give your money to rich people in other countries
The last time thre climate actually changed was at the end of the Younger Dryas 8,000 years ago.
Sanders would give away our hard-earned money to basket-case countries, thinking that this would bring world peace.
In addition, he would open the borders to individuals who would immediately go on welfare.
Elect Sanders and all our work goes to hell, as the savages and slackers become richer than us. Yes, that’s what I meant to say.
1. Identify our national enemies
2. Find keys to the USA
3. Turn them over and apologize for not doing it sooner
Let the civilian populations of places like Iraq and Syria flee to the West, so that ISIS can take over, repopulate them, and govern them unhindered. Brilliant!!
Ugh...We won’t blow you up if you giver us a MILLION DOLLARS! LOVE!
If he wins, we will flee to mexico. They will need more drugs made and we will need the jobs.
1. Destroy America
2. Destroy Capitalism
3. Destroy Western Civilization
The same platform as every other commie.
All I can say is ‘read my tagline.’
Who cares what this crackpot moron has to say? And curse the stoopids who voted him into office. What does their electing a jackass like this say about them?
Water is a fire retardant as liberals’ ideologies are success retardants.
Except you left out 4. Usher in the worldwide Islamic Caliphate.
Nah, the commies are silly enough to believe that they can manipulate the Muslims and will never be on the receiving end of their wrath. They really believe they can ride that tiger without getting bit.
