Also, too: Warren. Not saying she’d consider it ‘the proper way of the world’ (honestly, I loathe Bernie and I wouldn’t go quite that far about him) but from what little I’ve heard from her on foreign policy it would seem she’s the sort of hopelessly naive non-interventionist lefty who would not actually be willing to employ a sufficiently broad spectrum of measures to disincentivise such a course of action.
Obama kind of gave off that kind of a vibe in ‘08, but allegedly came out of the first couple of thorough security briefings sufficiently shaken he markedly changed course.
Of course, he was entirely more of a pragmatist than a dogmatic. Warren? Different story entirely. Not a happy thought for us Europeans, TBH.

Nah I always got the impression Obama cared about allies. I think a lot of people mistook his opposition to Iraq as isolationist.
