"I think if you look at the history of American foreign policy it's very hard to make the case that our principal goal has to been to protect freedom and democracy.
The United States has a rich history of overthrowing democracies around the world and we have a rich history of siding with some of the world's biggest dictators.
So this idea that we're out there protecting freedom and democracy and it's our principal goal in my opinion doesn't mesh with reality"
