The Rs are pretty much abandoning any pretense of sanity on foreign policy. It is amazing how incredibly thin each of their resumes is. If an R wins it, we have the prospect of the most important leader in the world having trouble finding Canada on a map.

It's not the resumes that worry me so much -- after all, neither Obama nor Clinton* had a long foreign policy resume, and I can think of lots of people who do who I'd never want to see as President.
It's the idea that talking tough constitutes policy. Let's shoot down Russian planes! Let's carpet bomb ISIS (but the kind of carpet-bombing that doesn't kill civilians)! Let's invade some more places!
"Resolve" and dressing up as a warrior are what got us into this barrel of shit in the first place.
