These are all areas in which Donald Trump and I >>> profoundly disagree. And they are all critical to our future. >>> >>> First, we need to be strong at home.

None of what Donald Trump is offering will make >>> America stronger at home. And that would make us weaker in the world. >>> >>> Second, we need to stick with our allies. America’s network of allies >>> is part of what makes us exceptional. And our allies deliver for us every >>> day. Our armed forces fight terrorists together; our diplomats work >>> side by side. Allies provide staging areas for our military, so we can >>> respond quickly to events on the other side of the world. And they share >>> intelligence that helps us identify and defuse potential threats. >>> >>> Take the threat posed by North Korea – perhaps the most repressive >>> regime on the planet, run by a sadistic dictator who wants to develop >>> long-range missiles that could carry a nuclear weapon to the United States. >>> >>> When I was Secretary of State, we worked closely with our allies Japan >>> and South Korea to respond to this threat, including by creating a missile >>> defense system that stands ready to shoot down a North Korean warhead, >>> should its leaders ever be reckless enough to launch one at us. The >>> technology is ours. Key parts of it are located on Japanese ships. All >>> three countries contributed to it. And this month, all three of our >>> militaries will run a joint drill to test it. That’s the power of >>> allies. And it’s the legacy of American troops who fought and died to >>> secure those bonds, because they knew we were safer with friends and >>> partners. >>> >>> Now Moscow and Beijing are deeply envious of our alliances around the >>> world, because they have nothing to match them.

It takes patience, persistence and an eye on >>> the long game – but it’s worth it. Take the nuclear agreement with >>> Iran. When President Obama took office, Iran was racing toward a nuclear >>> bomb. Some called for military action. But that could have ignited a >>> broader war that could have mired our troops in another Middle Eastern >>> conflict. >>> >>> President Obama chose a different path. And I got to work leading the >>> effort to impose crippling global sanctions. We brought Iran to the >>> table. We began talks. And eventually, we reached an agreement that should >>> block every path for Iran to get a nuclear weapon. Now we must enforce that >>> deal vigorously. And as I’ve said many times before, our approach must be >>> 'distrust and verify.' >>> >>> The world must understand that the United States will act decisively if >>> necessary, including with military action, to stop Iran from getting a >>> nuclear weapon. In particular, Israel’s security is non-negotiable. >>> They’re our closest ally in the region, and we have a moral obligation to >>> defend them. >>> >>> But there is no question that the world and the United States, we are >>> safer now than we were before this agreement. And we accomplished it >>> without firing a single shot, dropping a single bomb or putting a single >>> American soldier in harm’s way. >>> >>> Donald Trump says we shouldn’t have done the deal. We should have >>> walked away. But that would have meant no more global sanctions, and Iran >>> resuming their nuclear program and the world blaming us. So then what? >>> War? Telling the world, good luck, you deal with Iran? >>> >>> Of course Trump doesn’t have answers to those questions. Donald Trump >>> doesn’t know the first thing about Iran or its nuclear program. Ask him. >>> It’ll become very clear, very quickly. >>> >>> There’s no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a >>> golf-course deal. >>> >>> But it doesn’t work like that in world affairs. Just like being >>> interviewed on the same episode of “60 Minutes” as Putin was, is not the >>> same thing as actually dealing with Putin. >>> >>> So the stakes in global statecraft are infinitely higher and more >>> complex than in the world of luxury hotels. We all know the tools Donald >>> Trump brings to the table – bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets – I’m >>> willing to bet he’s writing a few right now. But those tools won’t do >>> the trick. Rather than solving global crises, he would create new ones. >>> >>> He has no sense of what it takes to deal with multiple countries with >>> competing interests and reaching a solution that everyone can get behind. >>> In fact, he is downright contemptuous of that work. And that means he’s >>> much more likely to end up leading us into conflict. >>> >>> Fourth, we need to be firm but wise with our rivals. Countries like >>> Russia and China often work against us. Beijing dumps cheap steel in our >>> markets. That hurts American workers. Moscow has taken aggressive military >>> action in Ukraine, right on NATO’s doorstep. Now I’ve gone toe-to-toe with >>> Russia and China, and many other different leaders around the world. So I >>> know we have to be able to both stand our ground when we must, and find >>> common ground when we can. >>> >>> That’s how I could work with Russia to conclude the New START treaty to >>> reduce nuclear stockpiles, and with China to increase pressure on North >>> Korea. It’s how our diplomats negotiated the landmark agreement on climate >>> change, which Trump now wants to rip up. >>> >>> The key was never forgetting who we were dealing with – not friends or >>> allies, but countries that share some common interests with us amid many >>> disagreements. >>> >>> Donald doesn’t see the complexity. He wants to start a trade war with >>> China. And I understand a lot of Americans have concerns about our trade >>> agreements – I do too. But a trade war is something very different. We >>> went down that road in the 1930s. It made the Great Depression longer and >>> more painful. Combine that with his comments about defaulting on our debt, >>> and it’s not hard to see how a Trump presidency could lead to a global >>> economic crisis. >>> >>> And I have to say, I don’t understand Donald’s bizarre fascination with >>> dictators and strongmen who have no love for America. He praised China for >>> the Tiananmen Square massacre; he said it showed strength. He said, >>> 'You’ve >>> got to give Kim Jong Un credit' for taking over North Korea – >>> something he did by murdering everyone he saw as a threat, including his >>> own uncle, which Donald described gleefully, like he was recapping an >>> action movie. And he said if he were grading Vladimir Putin as a leader, >>> he’d give him an A. >>> >>> Now, I’ll leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for >>> tyrants. >>> >>> I just wonder how anyone could be so wrong about who America’s real >>> friends are. Because it matters. If you don’t know exactly who you’re >>> dealing with, men like Putin will eat your lunch. >>> >>> Fifth, we need a real plan for confronting terrorists. As we saw six >>> months ago in San Bernardino, the threat is real and urgent. Over the past >>> year, I’ve laid out my plans for defeating ISIS. We need to take out >>> their strongholds in Iraq and Syria by intensifying the air campaign and >>> stepping up our support for Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground. We need >>> to keep pursuing diplomacy to end Syria’s civil war and close Iraq’s >>> sectarian divide, because those conflicts are keeping ISIS alive. We need >>> to lash up with our allies, and ensure our intelligence services are >>> working hand-in-hand to dismantle the global network that supplies money, >>> arms, propaganda and fighters to the terrorists. We need to win the battle >>> in cyberspace. And of course we need to strengthen our defenses here at >>> home. >>> >>> That – in a nutshell – is my plan for defeating ISIS. >>> >>> What’s Trump’s? Well he won’t say. He is literally keeping it a secret. >>> The secret, of course, is he has no idea what he’d do to stop ISIS. Just >>> look at the few things he’s actually said on the subject. He’s >>> actually said – and I quote – 'maybe Syria should be a free zone for >>> ISIS.' Oh, okay – let a terrorist group have control of a major >>> country in the Middle East. >>> >>> Then he said we should send tens of thousands of American ground troops >>> to the Middle East to fight ISIS. He also refused to rule out using nuclear >>> weapons against ISIS, which would mean mass civilian casualties. >>> >>> It’s clear he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. So we can’t >>> be certain which of these things he would do. But we can be certain that >>> he’s capable of doing any or all of them. Letting ISIS run wild. Launching >>> a nuclear attack. Starting a ground war. These are all distinct >>> possibilities with Donald Trump in charge. >>> >>> And through all his loose talk, there’s one constant theme: demonizing >>> Muslims and playing right into the hands of ISIS’. His proposal to ban 1.5 >>> billion Muslims from even coming to our country doesn’t just violate the >>> religious freedom our country was founded on. It’s also a huge propaganda >>> victory for ISIS. And it alienates the very countries we need to actually >>> help us in this fight. >>> >>> A Trump Presidency would embolden ISIS. We cannot take that risk. This >>> isn’t reality television – this is actual reality. >>> >>> And defeating global terrorist networks and protecting the homeland >>> takes more than empty talk and a handful of slogans. It takes a real plan, >>> real experience and real leadership. Donald Trump lacks all three. >>> >>> And one more thing. A President has a sacred responsibility to send our >>> troops into battle only if we absolutely must, and only with a clear and >>> well-thought-out strategy. Our troops give their all. They deserve a >>> commander-in-chief who knows that. >>> >>> I’ve worked side-by-side with admirals and generals, and visited our >>> troops in theaters of war. I’ve fought for better health care for our >>> National Guard, better services for our veterans, and more support for our >>> Gold Star families. We cannot put the lives of our young men and women in >>> uniform in Donald Trump’s hands. >>> >>> Sixth, we need to stay true to our values. Trump says over and over >>> again, 'The world is laughing at us.' He’s been saying this for >>> decades, he didn’t just start this year. He bought full-page ads in >>> newspapers across the country back in 1987, when Ronald Reagan was >>> President, saying that America lacked a backbone and the world was – you >>> guessed it – laughing at us. He was wrong then, and he’s wrong now – and >>> you’ve got to wonder why somebody who fundamentally has so little >>> confidence in America, and has felt that way for at least 30 years, wants >>> to be our President. >>> >>> The truth is, there’s not a country in the world that can rival us. It’s >>> not just that we have the greatest military, or that our economy is larger, >>> more durable, more entrepreneurial than any in the world. It’s also that >>> Americans work harder, dream bigger – and we never, ever stop trying to >>> make our country and world a better place. >>> >>> So it really matters that Donald Trump says things that go against our >>> deepest-held values. It matters when he says he’ll order our military to >>> murder the families of suspected terrorists. During the raid to kill bin >>> Laden, when every second counted, our SEALs took the time to move the women >>> and children in the compound to safety. Donald Trump may not get it, but >>> that’s what honor looks like. >>> >>> And it also matters when he makes fun of disabled people, calls women >>> pigs, >>> proposes banning an entire religion from our country, or plays coy with >>> white supremacists. America stands up to countries that treat women like >>> animals, or people of different races, religions or ethnicities as less >>> human. >>> >>> What happens to the moral example we set – for the world and for our own >>> children – if our President engages in bigotry? >>> >>> And by the way, Mr. Trump – every time you insult American Muslims or >>> Mexican immigrants, remember that plenty of Muslims and immigrants serve >>> and fight in our armed forces. >>> >>> Donald Trump, Donald Trump could learn something from them. >>> >>> That brings me to the final point I want to make today – the temperament >>> it takes >>> to be Commander-in-Chief. Every President faces hard choices every day, >>> with imperfect information and conflicting imperatives. That’s the job. A >>> revolution threatens to topple a government in a key region, an adversary >>> reaches out for the first time in years – what do you do? >>> >>> Making the right call takes a cool head and respect for the facts. It >>> takes a willingness to listen to other people’s points of view with a truly >>> open mind. It also takes humility – knowing you don’t know everything – >>> because if you’re convinced you’re always right, you’ll never ask yourself >>> the hard questions. >>> >>> I remember being in the Situation Room with President Obama, debating >>> the potential Bin Laden operation. The President’s advisors were divided. >>> The intelligence was compelling but far from definitive. The risks of >>> failure were daunting. The stakes were significant for our battle against >>> al Qaeda and our relationship with Pakistan. Most of all, the lives of >>> those brave SEALs and helicopter pilots hung in the balance. >>> >>> It was a decision only the President could make. And when he did, it was >>> as crisp and courageous a display of leadership as I’ve ever seen. Now >>> imagine Donald Trump sitting in the Situation Room, making life-or-death >>> decisions on behalf of the United States. Imagine him deciding whether to >>> send your spouses or children into battle. Imagine if he had not just his >>> Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry, but America’s entire >>> arsenal. >>> >>> Do we want him making those calls – someone thin-skinned and quick to >>> anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticism? Do we want his finger >>> anywhere near the button? I have a lot of faith that the American >>> people will make the right decision. This is a country with a deep >>> reservoir of common sense and national pride. We’re all counting on that. >>> >>> Because making Donald Trump our commander-in-chief would be a historic >>> mistake. It would undo so much of the work that Republicans and Democrats >>> alike have done over many decades to make America stronger and more secure. >>> It would set back our standing in the world more than anything in recent >>> memory. And it would fuel an ugly narrative about who we are – that we’re >>> fearful, not confident; that we want to let others determine our future for >>> us, instead of shaping our own destiny. That’s not the America I know >>> and love. >>> >>> So yes, we have a lot of work to do to keep our country secure. And we >>> need to do better by American families and American workers – and we will. >>> But don’t let anyone tell you that America isn’t great. Donald Trump’s got >>> America all wrong. We are a big-hearted, fair-minded country. >>> >>> There is no challenge we can’t meet, no goal we can’t achieve when we >>> each do our part and come together as one nation. Every lesson from our >>> history teaches us that we are stronger together. We remember that every >>> Memorial Day. >>> >>> This election is a choice between two very different visions of America. One >>> that’s angry, afraid, and based on the idea that America is fundamentally >>> weak and in decline. The other is hopeful, generous, and confident in >>> the knowledge that America is great – just like we always have been. >>> >>> Let’s resolve that we can be greater still. That is what I believe in my >>> heart. I went to 112 countries as your Secretary of State. And I never >>> lost my sense of pride at seeing our blue-and-white plane lit up on some >>> far-off runway, with 'The United States of America' emblazoned on the >>> side. That plane – those words – our country represents something special, >>> not just to us, to the world. It represents freedom and hope and >>> opportunity. >>> >>> I love this country and I know you do too. It’s been an honor and a >>> privilege to >>> serve America and I’m going to do everything I can to protect our >>> nation, and make sure we don’t lose sight of how strong we really are. >>> >>> Thank you all very much. >>> >>> -- >>> -- >>> Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups. >>> For options & help see http://groups.google.com/group/PoliticalForum >>> >>> * Visit our other community at http://www.PoliticalForum.com/ >>> * It's active and moderated.
