Bernie Sanders, Global Warming and ISIS

Ok, my opinion and mine alone, but Mr. Sanders is not thinking straight.  He believes that global warming is causing terrorism.  His reasoning is simple.  Global warming cause’s depletion of crops and other natural resources, and that leads to poverty.  That poverty makes for a prime recruiting tool for the members of terror groups to recruit from.  Problem, it is not about the money.  Radical ideological Muslims are the issue, not money.  Sure money helps, but it does not make anyone want to blow themselves up and become a mass murderer.  You need an ideology to back it up.  Also, even if Bernie was right and that issues with farming and natural resources were the problem, global warming only affects crops and food, not mining and factories.  Mining for oil does not suffer from global warming, and thus continues to profit off of.  Trading goods and construction is also unaffected as well.  So it clearly does not make sense when there are other jobs to be had.  We could argue a lack of jobs, but the Middle East is sorely lacking in many ways with respect to livable spaces due to desert and water access.  Their living conditions basically limit their livelihoods.  So even without the global warming attachment, the Middle East will still have problems with job access.  Oh wait, there are jobs, as we are paying millions in taxpayer dollars to teach them to be veterinarians, doctors, mechanical engineers and so on.  Also, they are rebuilding from war and thus there is numerous construction jobs, and even jobs in a depleted military and police force.  Long story short, Mr. Sanders has no clue about the region.


Final Thought:  Bernie Sanders is not meant to win the upcoming election.  He is simply a fall guy to make Hillary Clinton look good.  Sure he talks all nice about equality and getting back at the wealthy, but they are not the issues at hand.  It is job access, and getting the government off our backs.  Poll after poll that I have heard on the news says that the number two problem America faces is the government itself, and this is right after the economy and/or terrorism.  While Sanders means well, and will tax us up to our eyeballs to accomplish his promises (he did say that everyone's taxes would go up), he is not capable of being America's President in my opinion.
