Not much mystery what kind of foreign policy a President Hillary Clinton would pursue: neoconservatism with a Democratic face. From Gareth Porter at antiwar.com:
Focusing on domestic issues, Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech sidestepped the deep concerns antiwar Democrats have about her hawkish foreign policy, which is already taking shape in the shadows
As Hillary Clinton begins her final charge for the White House, her advisers are already recommending air strikes and other new military measures against the Assad regime in Syria.
The clear signals of Clinton’s readiness to go to war appears to be aimed at influencing the course of the war in Syria as well as U.S. policy over the remaining six months of the Obama administration. (She also may be hoping to corral the votes of Republican neoconservatives concerned about Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy.)
