That the essence of all the "Hillary will lead us into WWIII" arguments
that I have heard so far - the coherent ones, anyway, and which Jill seems
yo be echoing - is roughly, "Hillary will direct US forces to stop Russia
annexing or effectively annexing Syria and other countries, which will
cause Russia to begin shooting at US forces".

Yes, perhaps it is "mean" to stand up to spoiled brats like Putin and
Trump.  That's still better than letting said brats demand and get anything
they want, regardless of the cost to others.
