Democracy and the Threat of Tribalism

Ah yes. Spreading western liberal democracy at gunpoint [an oxymoron I should not have to point out - either you want and will get and will keep a democracy, or you don't get it and will lose it when handed it on a platter].

“I figured that my strong support of NATO...”
This shows lack of intelligence and inability to see the broad perspective. Doubt he was best to lead us into a full spectrum broad military strategy or war against China.

“....and my dismissal of the use of torture on prisoners would have the president-elect looking for another candidate.”

Mattis repeatedly and incorrectly droned on about how “torture” doesn’t work. Yet it is fact that this technique led us to Bin Laden.

FAIL
