I'm not sure what liberals want, and I agree, we have been at war for something like 15 years now. I suspect that Hillary would have essentially continued our presence in Iraq. In that sense she barely qualifies as liberal. If you want a good understanding of the geopolitical actions of the countries of the world, a good place to start is with one of the two books by George Friedman (The Next Decade, and The Next 100 Years). These books give compelling reasons why Russia is doing what it is doing, why we need to work with Iran, and the demographic reasons for turmoil in the middle east. I think the difference between the candidates was that Hillary understood strategically why we have not done more to help Syria, why ISIS is a minor player, why accord with Iran is important, and why the recent activity by Russia in Syria and Ukraine are both predictable and not incredibly dangerous. I don't think Trump understands any of this, but my guess is that he is getting a crash course in it right now. I hope he can learn. I also hope he's smart enough to keep his emotions in check when and if something important comes up because if he treats the button like he treated his twitter account we are screwed.
