Clinton calls for interventionist policy

Clinton criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for having earlier negatively commented on the concept of American exceptionalism, and compared him to her rival, Donald Trump. Trump has proposed to give up the almost century-long course of interventionism and promote a more balanced and non-hegemonic position for US policy.

In her speech, Hillary promised to bring down "dictators", support the spread of liberal values, and respond to the challenges of "countries such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea." In fact, this is a policy of war against the US' opponents, especially Russia and China. The presidential candidate also promised to increase military spending and take the lead in cyberspace by imposing the US' own rules on the rest of the world.
