- North Korea
- European Union
- Brexit
- Nuclear weapons
- China (save for Jeff Sessions mentioning their “burgeoning economy”, which is a weird way to put it)
- South China Sea
- South America
- Africa
- Syria (outside of ISIS)
- Russia (unless I missed it)
- Turkey
- Incirlik Air Force base
- Cyberterrorism
- Saudi Arabia
- Piracy
- Ukraine
- Transnational crime
- Nuclear Preparedness
- Pakistan
- India
All of these are issues on which you could plausibly hammer Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, if you wanted, to various degrees of fairness. But unless I missed it, nothing about this came up. Again, not a serious candidate, not a serious party, which makes it an intensely serious threat.
(I promise I’ll do the same for the DNC, just to be scrupulously fair)
