How Hillary Clinton's Syria would have led to World War

Hillary Clinton is a neo-con war hawk. And I am so relieved she is not the US President-elect.

Like a tyrant, Hillary Clinton has been supporting hawkish policies since 2002. In 2002 she supported and defended the Iraq War. As senator she wielded mighty influence, because 9-11 happened in New York, and she was the senator from New York.

Once Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton proceeded to make some of the worst decisions in American history - only surpassed by her own decision to support the Iraq War.

She removed Libyan President Gidaffi in 2011 at the height of the Arab Spring, indulging in exactly the same regime-change ideology as in Iraq. Instead of proceeding with caution, Hillary Clinton proceeded with excitement, her actions resulting in the killing of Americans in Benghazi one year later.

She also refused to implement a cease-fire in Syria, unless Bashar Al-Assad were removed. She also made sure that the Islamic State in Iraq (ISI, now the Islamic State) had priority funding in ousting Assad. This is how the Syrian Civil War became a big problem for America in Iraq: because Hillary Clinton funded ISIS in Syria.

Instead of learning from her mistakes like Trump did (compare Trump's views on Libya in 2011 and now as an example), Hillary Clinton continued to support neo-con hawkish policies even in the Presidential election.

In the 2016 election, her views on Syria were by far her most outlandish, daydreamish and dangerous policies for America and the world in her long career. As recently as the Presidential debates Hillary Clinton called for a 'no-fly-zone' in Syria to stop Syrian President Assad 'slaughtering civilians' while also vowing to degrade, defeat and destroy ISIS in Syria.

Such policies defy any logic. Were Hillary Clinton successful in removing Bashar Al-Assad, in his place would be ISIS controlling almost the entirety of Syria. It would result in the genocide of Christians, Alawites and Druze, and cause a refugee crisis far worse than the current one.

Were Hillary Clinton to install a 'no-fly-zone,' however, she would be unsuccessful in ousting the Syrian Government, for one reason only: Russia.

Russia has vowed unwavering support for Assad's Syria, and has also vowed that, should Hillary Clinton implement a 'no-fly-zone' in Syria, he would consider it an act of war and respond accordingly.

So, Hillary Clinton's policy in Syria would have led to a world war, resulting in the deaths of millions and, whoever won such a war, would lead the world backwards.

I am completely grateful this scenario was avoided, and believe Hillary Clinton completely deserved to lost to Donald friggin' Trump on this policy alone.
