> President Obama was elected with the support of those who thought he would end the wars started by the Bush administration. Instead he attacked eight countries. (George Bush attacked six.) Obama’s drone attacks - which have killed thousands (not just the hundreds he admits to) - have been rightly called ‘the most extreme terrorist campaign of modern times.’
> 
> Hillary Clinton, responsible for horrors in Honduras, Libya, Syria and elsewhere, would only continue and intensify the warmongering of recent administrations, the blowback from which is now producing terrorist attacks in Europe and America.
> 
> Whatever you may think of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, his comments on foreign policy have broken with this horrible record. He has for example proposed diplomacy (‘deals’) with Russian president Putin (whom Clinton has on the contrary called ‘the new Hitler’), instead of the insane provocations of Russia by the Obama administration.
> 
> I’ll be voting for Jill Stein, the Green party candidate for president, whose positions on these and other matters are substantially better than those of the major party candidates. And I won’t be dissuaded by the argument that a vote for a third party candidate is ‘helping Trump.’ He’s clearly better than Clinton on America’s murderous foreign policy.
