Hillary's Important Speech on Foreign Policy

Today, Hillary Clinton gave what her campaign billed as an important speech on foreign policy.  It was a rather amazing effort.  Hillary spoke slowly and calmly trying to make her words seem deliberate and well reasoned.  She tried very hard to look presidential.  She criticized the comments and plans made by the GOP candidates.  But there was one big problem:  Hillary never told us what she plans for her foreign policy.

What would Hillary do about ISIS?  We don't really know.  In the past, she has said that she would continue the Obama strategy and tactics.  Today, she did not even say that much.

What would Hillary do in dealing with Russia?  We really don't know.  She told us that she does not like Trump's call for increased effort by our NATO allies.  But what would she do as president if Putin had his troops push forward in Ukraine?  She didn't tell us.

What would Hillary do regarding China and it's attempt to take over the South China Sea?  We don't know.  She didn't tell us.

What would Hillary do to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons?  Again, we got no information.  She's previously told us that she supports the Obama deal with Iran in which the USA gave Iran $150 billion and Iran is guaranteed nuclear weapons after ten years.  Today, there was nothing.

How would Hillary handle a host of other foreign policy matters?  We don't know.  She won't tell us.

Now I realize that even if Hillary told us her plans for the future, we couldn't believe her.  It might just be another lie.  But it's even worse that she isn't even trying anymore.  It's a disgrace.
