Our handling of the Arab Spring, Libya and Syria are tastes of what Clinton foreign policy will look like, similar to her husband's policies or lack thereof for the Balkans, Africa and south/Central America.You sure talk alot but you don't say much.
I don't know if you actually watched the speech but she was pretty clear about what the results of trumps policies would be. She went down the list one by one. Maybe you should re watch it.

Trump used alarming rhetoric to get media coverage, but at its core, he is more of an isolationist. I don't know if American isolation is the right answer, but the Clinton approach of half baked engagement and the Bush approach of Neocon "all-in" have not exactly been foreign policy successes either.
Lol! Yep and the three million more votes she got was because those voters were all on the payroll!
/S
There is an epidemic in this country, stupidity has reached a new height!

Obama didn't have a foreign policy, and the Middle East is arguably more unstable due to Clinton's miscalculations, particularly the emergence of ISIS. It really comes down to a belief in deterrence vs triangulation. I am not a fan of nuclear proliferation, but I also believe that sometimes you need to deter crazy with crazy. I've yet to see triangulation work as a foreign policy strategy. Deterrence has some precedence of success.I'll take another four years of Obama like foreign policy over somebody who thinks it's no big deal to start a nuclear arms race in some of the most unstable regions in the world thanks very much. Or who's big flapping incredibly ignorant mouth could get us into innumerable conflicts both economic and military.

The emergence of an ISIS like entity and the consequent sectarian conflict was inevitable unless we were willing to stay in Iraq basically forever at any cost. This is also not the sum total of foreign policy decisions from his presidency.
You say you aren't a fan of nuclear proliferation but lay out a rationale that justifies it. Interesting.

There are other forms of deterrence. Force projection. Joint military exercises. Coalitions. If I were President I would push for the establishment of a NATO like force in the Middle East.

You mean that the emergence of ISIS is the direct result of the invasion of Iraq?
Say it isn't so!
Yeah, we sooooooo should have preferred the days when Saddam was in power and just brutally repressed or outright genocided the people who form ISIS now. Because massive human rights catastrophes are much better when overseen by a monstrous head of state recognized by the world rather than some self-proclaimed caliphate state doing it freelance.

So you want to volunteer us to be SJWs in the middle east.
I think what he is saying it's that he supports Hillary Clinton's foreign policy.
Neither candidate will have enough pledged delegates to claim the nomination. The superdelegates annointed Clinton long before Sanders emerged as a viable alternative and well before her email issues escalated as a viable attack vector for the Republicans.
Sanders has every right to take his argument to the convention floor, and a CA victory lends credibility to his argument.
why should the superdelegates overturn the will of the people and give the nomination to someone who has only been a Democrat for less than 2 years, has 3 million less votes than Clinton, has 270+ fewer pledged delegates, and has won fewer states? How is overturning the will of millions of Democratic primary voters democratic?
Blaming Clinton for the ME going extra nutty as well ISIS doesn't do much for your credibility I'm afraid.
Might want to get the basics down first before addressing responsibility (and I say that as someone who otherwise appreciates your posts and opinion)
You referenced deterrence in the context of nuclear proliferation. I could only presume that's what you meant.
So which sect are we going to back to create this middle eastern NATO?
