Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.

And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you're fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!

I'm afraid I'm going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)

    "No fly zone" pretty much sold me against Clinton. That's hawk shit. Only later did I learn that "No Fly Zone" was Madame Secretary's original plan for Libya when it broke out into civil war. It ended up being the first of several escalations of the US into the conflict that eventually led to open-air slave markets.

      Clinton was literally asked if she would do anything different if she had the chance for Libya. She said no, and she has no regrets. There is still open slave markets in Libya. https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/14/hillary-clinton-has-no-regrets-about-libya/
