I don’t want to talk about Donald Trump. I’m tired of hearing about Donald Trump. I don’t care what he said 10 years ago or 10 seconds ago. “We need to go after their families” and “use nuclear weapons” are the ramblings of a drunk man in a bar trying to get high fives from his buddies, not a serious foreign policy prescription of any kind.

His words are not important to me because he’s not going to be president. This article is not designed to “change your vote,” because  (or, arguably, ). I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Hillary Clinton will be our next president.

Which is why I’m so concerned about her insane foreign policy that nobody seems to care about. Just last week, Clinton reiterated her support for a no-fly zone in Syria. For those of you who don’t know what a “no-fly zone” is, it basically means that she wants to shoot down airplanes in Syria. Which airplanes? .

For some background, Russia and Syria have been allies more or less since World War II. There are over . Russia maintains several bases in Syria, including a large permanent  and an  hosting several dozen Russian aircraft.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently sent the  to the region — including the nuclear-powered battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy (Peter the Great) and the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov — in order to support the 

I can’t even begin to relate to you how catastrophic an American-imposed “no-fly zone” in Syria would be.  As an analogy, imagine if Russia suddenly decided to  and rebel groups in Israel who were . Imagine if, when the government was about to fall, America .

Now imagine if America actively joined in the fight to push the terrorists back to their last major city stronghold in the country. And in the midst of all of this, Putin then declared that any U.S. planes that fly over that city are going to be shot down. Would any reasonable person suggest this to be anything other than pure madness? What kind of lunatic would threaten to shoot down allied airplanes in a country where the lunatic’s forces aren’t even welcome in the first place?

The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated in no uncertain terms that controlling Syrian airspace would require us to go to war with both Syria and Russia.

And yet, this scenario accurately describes Clinton’s foreign policy position on Syria. Hillary is the . In the last presidential debate, Trump , but this received scant media attention.

When Clinton criticized Trump’s position on allowing Syrian refugees into the country, Trump correctly pointed out that it was the same kind of “regime change” policy that she supports, which helped ! This is Clinton’s “Aleppo moment,” .

She supported “regime change” in Honduras and . She played a  in the r — or as the  would say, “regime change” in Libya —  a decision that both the then-cbecause they knew it to be based on false reports (just like Iraq).

Indeed, leaked tapes reveal that the  in a last-ditch effort to prevent a catastrophe, but they were unsuccessful, as Clinton caught wind of it and abruptly ended the talks. Ultimately, she was able to convince President Obama to support the “no fly zone” (war) in Libya.

Both officials have since been replaced, but they were right, and Libya wasÌý²¹²ÔÌý. The  country is now . President Obama has since stated that , whereas Clinton believes it was 

If ever there were a stark contrast between the two, it is over interventionism in the Middle East. Even President Obama, who has , looks dovish compared to Hillary Clinton. She was described as a “” and an unapologetic “” by several journalists on both the Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý. Worst of all, leaked emails show Clinton, but rather, a throwback to  — gold, oil, money and power.

Although Clinton’s well-greased political machine , President Obama has thus far resisted growing calls for a Syrian no-fly zone,  Clinton herself admitted in a  that a no-fly zone “would kill a lot of Syrians.”

The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated in no uncertain terms that controlling Syrian airspace . The previous chairman stated it would require .

Intelligence Director James Clapper has said  if they were to attack Russian planes or ground forces. He also noted the recent deployment of the  anti-aircraft batteries in Syria, which he described as “very advanced” and “very capable.” For all intents and purposes, a “no fly zone” in Syria means war with Russia.

Politically, Putin has no incentive to walk away from Syria. Aside from economic and military ties to the Assad regime, , and domestically this is seen as him delivering on that promise. , and the terrorists have more than .

In the case of Syria, this is not a situation where Putin can be intimidated by military and political posturing. Putin is “all-in” on Syria in the same way that . Is it wise to call Russia’s bluff? What should we expect from Putin when our president is threatening to kill Russians? Is Putin not, as president of the Russian Federation, expected to do everything he can to protect the lives and livelihood of his people?

Anyone concerned with peace and avoiding a potential nuclear war should be worried about the grave threat to humanity that is posed by Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy, and in particular, her “no-fly zone” in Syria. The media has remained silent on this issue due to their obsession with Trump and his reality television antics. Our own congresswoman and veteran, Tulsi Gabbard,  in Congress.

For your sake and for our children’s sake, all Hawaii and the world must join together to oppose intervention in Syria.  The future of this planet may depend on it.
