All of Kissinger’s Friends
Last night's Democratic debate showed how thoroughly liberals have renounced the anti-interventionist tradition.
Last night, Hillary Clinton and her online supporters went after Bernie Sanders over his support in the 1980s for Fidel Castro and the Sandinistas of Nicaragua. Glenn Greenwald shows why Clinton is in no position to be lecturing Sanders about tyranny in other countries.
Clinton has not only walked the walk, but also talked the talk, on behalf of serial violators of human rights across the globe: Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel, Honduras, the Gulf states, not to mention “Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state.”
As I said in a tweet last night, “Sanders stood with the Sandinistas, Clinton stands with Kissinger. Is this really a tough one?”
