Bernie Sanders Should Stop Talking about Foreign Policy

I saw an article at another blog with a title, "Bernie Sanders should stop ducking foreign policy"

Comments indicated agreement with that, Sanders needs to stop avoiding the subject and tell people what he's all about.  The natives (Sanders supporters) are getting restless. 

Well, not all Sanders supporters.  There a whole bunch over there at Daily Kos that are full time supporters of U.S. imperialism who back Bernie Sanders.

But to the issue of Sanders not speaking up about his foreign policy positions. 

Some people are not listening. 

He has. And t's not going to change.  He has plainly stated the same lies and false narratives about just about every geopolitical situation we have, from the War OF Terror to Ukraine/Russia/Putin to the fake war against ISIS to Assad/Syria, Hussein/Iraq (even though he didn't vote for the war), Gaddafi/Libya, Yemen, Venezuela, and on and on.  He has clearly stated that he is fully on board with U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism including for the U.S. to maintain the largest military in the world.  As the article says, he's been just as enveloped by the MIC as any other politician and he's come out with the outrageous position that Saudi Arabia should be more of a military proxy for U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism. 

Nothing he says in the debates or anywhere else is going to change that.  There is no nuance to be discovered, no magic potion somewhere where the Sanders supporters can point to and say, "See, Bernie is different!" 

He has already made his positions clear if one knows and recognizes the lies of U.S. imperialism.  Because that's what he's been saying all along.
