Bernie Sanders’ foreign policy

I watched the New Hampshire Democratic debate a few days ago. It was good seeing Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton debate some of the differences between them.

In some cases I think it did get a bit silly in arguing who is a progressive. I think they both take progressive stances but they are also very different.

In asking about foreign policy one of the moderators said that Bernie Sanders had not given a speech on foreign policy. Sanders said he did but it was combined with democratic socialism. I did not hear that speech so I can’t comment on it. I notice that he has addressed foreign policy on his website. He discussed many policy issues there so the site is well worth a look if you have any interest in Bernie Sanders’ campaign for the Democratic nomination as a candidate for President of the United States

But given Clinton’s extensive experience in this area, I believe he needs to do more than a mention on the website.

As to who is more progressive, I give that contest to Sanders. He has consistently held many positions favorable to the majority of Americans for his entire career.

It is an interesting contest and I hope the eventual winner will be a better candidate as a result of it.
