Investigative journalist Rick Sterling explains why Tulsi Gabbard appeals to him.
First, Gabbard has years of military experience, and has come to oppose "regime change" operations. Her experience gives her a more realistic perspective as compared with most Beltway decision makers. Second, she is against corporate military profiteering. Third, she is tough, and could hold her own against the Democratic establishment. As a veteran, she cannot be shamed into silence when discussing military affairs.
What about Bernie? Well, Tulsi has always been more specific about what she will do with regard to reducing military deployments. She has centered foreign policy as a key campaign issue. Gabbard has lobbied on behalf of maintaining existing arms limitation treaties, as she understands the consequences if they are discarded.
The xenophobia and supremacism embraced in the United States by both parties needs to be challenged. As Tulsi says, "We must change our foreign policy" and work towards relations of co-operation, not coercion.
