He lacks foreign policy skill and this is merely an excuse to highlight that. His foreign policy acumen is to say things like "ISIS is a very, very, very bad problem" or "That is a very, very, very serious issue". He loads up on adverbs and adjectives when he's not serious about an issue or totally ignorant about it.
Clearly he should repeat all the Bush administration lies while voting for a $2 trillion war. And call for a no fly zone where Russian planes are flying. That would show he's very serious about making the middle east a sh**thole.
