Daily Mail: Bernie Sanders says he would use military force if China attacked Taiwan as he denies being a pacifist
* Bernie Sanders said he would use US military force if China ever attacked Taiwan
* On CBS's '60 Minutes' he said if he was president he would protect US interests
* Sanders also said he would meet with the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un
* He also denied being a pacifist and added, 'I believe in NATO', during interview
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders said if he was elected president he would 'absolutely' use the military if China attacked Taiwan.
The presidential 2020 hopeful said if he were in the White House he would authorize military force if warranted, both to protect US interests and to support its allies.
He also denied being a pacifist, declared his support for NATO and added he would be willing to meet with the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un, as President Donald Trump has done on three occasions.
Sanders has emerged with an early lead in the Democratic nominating process, and as a self-declared democratic socialist his foreign and security policies are starting to draw closer scrutiny. But he has denied being a pacifist.
In the interview that aired on Sunday on CBS's '60 Minutes', the Vermont senator was asked in what circumstances he, as commander-in-chief, would deploy US military forces.

Update: Bernie Sanders says he would intervene if China took military action against Taiwan (CBS 60 Minutes)
WNU Editor: You can take this to the bank. I learned a long time ago that political leaders on the left have never been reluctant to use military force. So if Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders says if he was elected president he would 'absolutely' use the military to protect US interests and its allies, I believe him but with one caveat. Some US allies may not be protected.

What a fake! He's as much a neo-con as Hillary!
And Trump in another sort of con.
Just let Iraq take over Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf States and then jack up the oil prices 400%.
In such a situation we should keep a stiff upper lip and maintain out crazy Lefty values.
Just think they would to be unable to buy heating oil in the North East and they would all turn into corpse-sicles during winter.
The Democrat party would never be the same or very large.
Sanders supporter Marianne said Bernie was convicted.
Convicted of what she didn't say, but an educated guess would be that he had been convicted of stupidity.
Interesting that the Democrat Party would run a convict.
