Hillary provides neocons with that coalition-forging opportunity in a way that Obama never did, especially re: Russia and Iran.

my definition of a neocon is someone who is willing to use military force or covert ops to make the world safe for neoliberalism

That bridge being war-profiteering. HRC represents profits, at the expense of human life.

Is there a meaningful difference between neoconservatism and neoliberal interventionism? Rhetoric, maybe, but in action?
