I'm not going to hold back, screw that. Enough with the lies about U.S. imperialism, flat out lies and illusions and false narratives. If we're going to stop this thing, we can't accept anything but the truth. Politicians that tell the standard lies about U.S. imperialism must be called out, which is about all of them.
Our political "leaders" lie to us about U.S. imperialism. Almost without exception the U.S. politicians in the Congress and Senate flat out lie about our supposed enemies, about reasons for war and other military actions, and about U.S. imperialism in general. That includes Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and all the Republican candidates for President.
It's easy to say you don't "support boots on the ground" and say the situation should be resolved diplomaticaly, not militarily, especially when you're a politician campaigning for office. It's alot harder to tell the real truth, that what Obama is doing in Syria is illegal, against international law, and constitutes war crimes under the U.N. Charter. U.S. politicians supporting that policy in the Congress and Senate are accessories to those war crimes.
From what I can tell, there's only one U.S. politician telling (most of) the truth about what's happening in Syria, and it's certainly not Bernie Sanders, it's U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. Not the whole truth but she at leasts calls it for what it is, an illegal regime change operation spearheaded by the CIA using ISIS and Al Qaeda as a proxy army.
And Bernie Sanders supports it. I don't how his supporters can on the one hand complain about the neocons and their plan for Syria, being carried out by Obama which Sanders supports, and still support Sanders and claim he's different on foreign policies than any of our other imperialist politicians. This comes after Sanders said he supported Obama's decision to keep troops in Afghanistan, another illegal U.S. war based on lies.
"With each passing week, more and more people are beginning to ask the kinds of questions the Pentagon and CIA most assuredly do not want to answer and now, US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is out calling Washington’s effort to oust Assad both "counterproductive" and "illegal." In the following priceless video clip, Gabbard accuses the CIA of arming the very same terrorists who The White House insists are "our sworn enemy" and all but tells the American public that the government is lying to them and may end up inadvertently starting "World War."

More proof that Bernie Sanders is a liar, just like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. "Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders voiced concerns Friday about President Obama’s decision to dispatch a small number of Special Operations troops to northern Syria, saying through a spokesman that he fears the United States could be drawn into "the quagmire of the Syrian civil war."
The independent senator from Vermont "believes that the crisis in Syria will be solved diplomatically, not militarily," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement.
He said that he agrees with Obama’s overall objective to provide support to groups and countries battling the Islamic State in the region."
"Sanders supports efforts by Secretary of State John F. Kerry to bring Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and other nations into discussions on how to end the the civil war, Briggs added.
Sanders has said that he is not categorically opposed to the use of military force but strongly believes that war should be the last resort in addressing international conflicts."

Spot the Lies of Bernie and his Supporters:
#1. Syria Civil War. It's not a civil war and has never been a civil war. It's been an aggressive war led by the U.S. along with allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and others to tear down the Assad government and destroy and balkanize Syria like they've destroyed and balkanized Libya and Iraq.
#2. Obama is battling ISIS in Syria. No, Obama and allies have been aiding and abetting ISIS in Syria for the purpose of illegally overthrowing the government of a sovereign country.
#3. Efforts by John Kerry at diplomacy. John Kerry wouldn't know diplomacy if it bit him in the ass. Whatever John Kerry is involved in you can be sure it's in the service of War, Inc. Sanders supports documented war criminals John Kerry and Barack Obama, what more do people want?
#4. "We must be very careful about not making a complex and dangerous situation in Syria even worse," Sanders said in a statement to The Washington Post. "I support President Obama’s efforts to combat ISIS in Syria while at the same time supporting those in that country trying to remove the brutal dictatorship of Bashar Assad."
More lies combined with the false narrative that it's a civil war involving Syrians (that need supporting according to Sanders) that want to remove Assad. It's been the neocon/zionist plan all along to remove Assad, they're using terrorists and mercenaries as their proxy army to attempt to do just that. The Syrians don't have any say in the matter because imperialists like Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama think it's the job of the Empire to make those decisions for them.
I don't know how some Sanders supporters, many of whom I ran with in the internet antiwar/anti-imperialism wars during the Bush and Obama wars, can continue to lie, claiming that Sanders is some kind of antiwar candidate, or stating that his claim to only use the military as a last option means he is against war. Some rely on the meme that he's against "bad" wars, which shows their ignorance regarding the truth regarding the wars in Syria, Libya, Iraq and Yemen. The bottom line is Sanders adheres to all the standard lies about the illegal U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, as well as the Global War OF Terror. Therefore he's an imperialist. His consistent support for Israel apartheid by claiming it's the Palestinians fault for the violence and lack of a resolution shows he's a Zionist also.
Regarding U.S. foreign policies and actions, Sanders may be considered a "lesser evil" compared to Clinton and the republicans, but then again, maybe not. U.S. imperialism is facilitated by lies and illusions concerning ruling class actions across the planet, the same lies and illusions that Bernie Sanders is supporting.
Sanders is no change, certainly not the change we need, the change we MUST have NOW. Reject all U.S. politicians that continue to lie about U.S. imperialism/U.S. Empire.
