Not really, no. I'm in favor of Iran nuclear deal, 2-state solution in Israel/Palestine, non-proliferation treaties, etc.

OK, fine. But then again, I suppose there are a small number of areas where the Republicans aren't reflexively anti-liberal.

I find this weird because there's a whole subset of Trump supporters who think I'm in the pocket of the Deep State. Which is it?

The Trump supporters are wrong. Your foreign policy is reflexively anti-American.

I critical of things America does that are self-destructive (i.e. Iraq War). That's pro-America, not anti-America.

You've also implied you think Russians support for Trump was justified payback for American foreign policy.

I didn't say justified. I was trying to explain logic of Putin's decision. I think what he did was reckless & should be punished

This is also wrong. You said Putin's intervention was "blowback" to American Foregin Policy.https://twitter.com/catlin201/status/814816299419308032 …

"Blowback" doesn't mean approval. You can try to understand cause of cancer without approving of cancer.

I think "Blowback" clearly implies a degree of moral justification.

Nope. Understanding cause is not the same as approval. "Is ≠ ought" -- David Hume.

Even if we accept this premise, I'd say everything we've done in E Europe has still done more good then harm on balance.

So the "blowback" is simply acceptable collateral damage from a successful effort to promote liberalism worldwide.
