Bernie Sanders, false prophet?

So much good in this speech, but so much bad as well.


I fear Bernie's absolute faith in unproven Kremlin meddling just shows how easily manipulated he would be by the Security State/Neocons/corporate media, as President. And why does he keep banging on about Putin? Being non-interventionist means not insulting other countries leaders.


He condemns Russia and Iran for helping Syria slaughter people - they are fighting ISIS/al Qaeda, the death cults created by US wars. How dare they!


He calls the Iraq war a 'blunder'. It wasn't a 'blunder'. It was planned, pre 9/11. And they achieved their goal, to topple Saddam. 


He doesn't once condemn the CIA or Neocons by name, (though he does condemn US meddling in Iran, Chile etc). 


No mention of continued US war games on North Korea's borders.


And too much praise of Churchill. He killed millions of Indians!


I think Bernie could be truly dangerous. He says he wants to stop the wars and reverse militarism, but he has previously voted for them (Yugoslavia). So why would I trust his word now? Obama said similar, before bombing seven countries and arming al Qaeda affiliates. But he charmed his way out of any real scrutiny. Anti-war protest non-existent. Might it be the same with Bernie?
