I watched Hillary Clinton’s speech from this event a couple days ago. At one point, she says that tragedies are happening around the world because the US isn’t intervening enough and that the US needs to fuck around in conflicts even more.

I’m angry about all of the human rights abuses. I’m angry about all of the excessive use of uh force. I’m angry about, you know, what happened on October 7th in Israel and what happened in Gaza. I’m angry about what Russia’s doing in Ukraine. I’m angry about Sudan. I’m angry about the Eastern Congo. I mean, I think we should be all looking at the tragedies and the conflicts that are bringing about so much suffering and be dealing with them. That’s why the national security strategy is not to my liking because I think the United States has an important role in trying to resolve these conflicts and alleviate the suffering and give people a chance to have peaceful, prosperous lives. That should be our goal. That is in America’s interest. I don’t care where in the world you are. So, of course, the suffering in Gaza is horrific. Full stop.

Suffering everywhere is horrific. So, let’s look at what we can do to try to resolve, you know, what is being done to people in so many different settings right now. And I think that the the emphasis on one terrible conflict sort of doesn’t do justice to the challenges that we are confronting. And I don’t want to see my country basically say, “You know what, you know those other presidents, they tried to resolve conflicts, they tried to stand for democracy and freedom. they stood up for human rights. what a waste of time.” That is to me an abdication of leadership and I want to see us involved everywhere trying to stop the kind of horrible abuses that are going on.
