As the 2020 Democratic primaries move onto Super Tuesday, the time has come to discuss the record of Bernie Sanders in all things foreign policy.  The good, the bad, and the ugly; we discuss it all. From his time as a high school student, running for student body president to raise money for Korean war orphans to the documentary filmstrip he made on the famous anti-war hero Eugene Debs, Bernie has a long history with anti-war, anti-imperialist beliefs.  That doesn’t mean we didn’t find areas he could improve upon as he continues his campaign for president.

Today is a politics day at Fortress On A Hill.  The guys and I seldom spend THIS much time discussing the political background of anyone, much else future Democratic presidential candidates.    Here, we dig into Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, and Tulsi Gabbbard; we’ll cover others like Kamala Harris in a later episode. We will continue to do this as more candidates announce; the compare and contrast of the group is quite important for understanding how American foreign policy might play out in a future Democratic administration.
