How Would A Hillary Clinton Administration Handle The Syrian Civil War After Obama’s Presidency?

When President Obama was running against Hillary Clinton in 2008, his promise to prevent America from becoming engaged in wars with other countries was likely the main reason why he was elected.

For the 2016 Presidential race, progressives have attacked Hillary Clinton, claiming her as a war-monger, where they say that her presidency would put us in other wars much like the Bush administration did with Afghanistan and Iraq. And much of that sentiment goes back to her decision to attack the convoy that Libyan president Gaddafi was in, toppling the regime and essentially leaving it open to terrorist groups, for which The Right have used as the main reason as to why she can be blamed with the Obama administration for creating ISIS.

As the Inquisitr has reported, Hillary Clinton’s rival in the presidential race Donald Trump has even boldly stated via his surrogate Rudy Giuliani, that they were the creators of ISIS, which in itself resulted in backlash against his campaign.

Should Hillary Clinton become Madame President, she will be faced with having to see through the U.S.-led coalition in Syria, for which the Obama administration’s reluctance to fully commit to with ground forces would have to be reevaluated in order to completely “destroy” ISIS and/or topple the Assad regime.

Hillary Clinton has already said recently in the Commander-In-Chief forum this month that she would not commit ground troops to go into Syria, which would be a continuation of Obama’s promise to not do so.

But the relationship between Russia and the United States would also perhaps be more difficult, as it has been said that Vladimir Putin despises and even hates Hillary Clinton for her “involvement” in Russia’s 2010 elections.

Clearly, from the latest reports around the agreement with Russia over the civil war in Syria, it would be Russia who would be the ones to decide whether Assad should go or not, and it isn’t likely that they would agree to force him out. Instead, with Russia’s involvement, Syrian President Assad’s regime would prevail.

But the idea from the progressive Left persists that Hillary Clinton would take America to war in the Middle East, and they are the same group who also condemn President Obama of his drone strike program which has reportedly killed many civilians.

It’s difficult to say whether that is true or not. Certainly, she would not be able to dismantle the complex agreements that have been made with other players in the region. However, there have already been plenty of moments even with reluctant allies in the fight to provoke American military might by Iranian ships, Russian fighter planes — as it was recently reported that a Russian jet flew 10-feet away from a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane in international air space, according to ABC News. And There’s even been tension with the Chinese during president Obama’s visit for the G20 Summit, which Donald Trump admitted that he would not settle for.

Certainly, from what we’ve seen, Donald Trump’s answer to all provocations would be rather profound.

Unlike a Donald Trump administration, the diplomatic channels established for the last eight years would only be secured by President Hillary Clinton and would be far more certain to endure during her first term.

Much like the Obama administration, however, she would be fighting another Republican-led congress that would force her to take executive actions and sign executive orders, using channels that Obama has had to establish in order for something to get done.

This would, of course, change were congress to become a Democratic majority either this year or in 2018 during the mid-terms, which would make her challenges easier to handle.

But also because it’s Hillary Clinton, her administration would be a challenge to the progressives who have said she is just as dangerous as Donald Trump to prove them wrong and she will always have the rabid conservatives who are consistently and publicly trying to take her down.
