I like you Mnemeth but I'm sorry, this dude is garbage.
Aka let Ukrainians be wiped out by Russia. Voting 3rd party in America is basically throwing your vote away in the presidential elections and while Cornel may have some good domestic policies, his foreign policy is atrocious, in fact it would be easy to argue that even Trump would be better foreign policy wise than Cornel because at least Trump doesn't shout the quiet part out loud! (That he wants to disband NATO). I would not say voting Cornel West keeps anyone with a clear conscience thanks to his horrific foreign policy ideas. He reminds me of Corbyn, I loved him, I wanted nothing more than to see him as leader of UK but then I saw his absolutely awful foreign policy, especially in relation to Ukraine/Russia and it instantly put me off him to the point that I'm not glad he didn't win and let me tell you, I despise the Tories, Lol. There's a select portion of the far left like Cornel, like Corbyn, who despise America's imperialism so much that they willingly make excuses for other imperialist countries, they willingly look the other way at atrocities that other countries commit because "America bad" and their entire logic boils down to "America doesn't like this country so this country must be good" And none of them have any idea on how to get "peace" in Ukraine, simply saying "I'll bring peace" doesn't mean a damn thing, if anything, I'm pretty sure these people don't actually want peace, they just want Ukraine to go die quietly in a corner. Letting Russia take Ukraine and kill millions isn't "peace" simply because you choose to look the other way. |
I agree his foreign policies might not be the best, but I actually think the US is too much involved in global politics. Many US politicians think that they and only they are able to sort out world politics and mostly with military means. I would prefer to move that power to multinational bodies, namely the UN. The NATO in my opinion is not well equipped to handle a post-cold-war era world, as a cold-war-era organization that will be seen (rightfully so) as biased towards big western countries. But multinational organizations, the UN have general much more trust in the world.
I do think the stuff that Cornel says is mostly good, but not just for overnight decisions. Say disbandind the NATO is fine, but not tomorrow, instead after the UN has taken more responsibility in this regard. And regardless how radical Cornel sounds, he will not be able to change US foreign politics overnight. So yes, I would like to see more focus on international organization in conjunction to the powerdown of military focused politics, but I don't think much damage will be done shortterm.
His focus will be domestic politics anyways and as you see, these are pretty good.
