Her attitude is the exact same attitude that led to Europe going "well, if we just give Hitler Poland then that'll make everyone happy". This idea that, somehow, giving in to the demands of insane dictators will appease them and de-escalate the whole situation is based entirely on cowardice. It's the idea that it's better to let the wrongs of the world exist than to risk anything to stop them as long as the wrongs are contained by their own borders. Not quite. I think it's more "a sovereign nation has general discretion to do as it wants within its borders. That's the social contract after all." One sovereign nation encroaching on another violates those norms tho, and could warrant more intervention. Tho of course I'm not speaking for her, just what I think she might say based on what I've read about her. Maybe she's said the opposite somewhere. If there wasn't tons of evidence of her speaking up against the actions of sovereign nations against their own people and suggesting the world act, I might believe this is her stance. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
