Trump, Clinton will both wage endless wars as president: Analyst

US Democratic presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will both wage “endless wars” if they become president, says an American author and radio host.

Clinton is a “known criminal” who was behind numerous atrocities during her time as first lady, senator and secretary of state, Stephen Lendman told Press TV on Friday.

“There’s no question in my mind that she is the most recklessly dangerous US presidential aspirant in American history,” Lendman said. “I dread the possibility of her becoming president but I dread the possibility of a [Donald] Trump presidency as well.”

“I would see nothing more than the continuation of endless wars,” he added.

Americans are “very dismayed and angry” at both Trump and Clinton and will probably have to choose between a “demagogic billionaire and an unindicted war criminal.”

“But Trump’s record is a business record and Clinton’s record is a public record involved in wars against humanity which is certainly a lot more serious than any corporate theft,” the analyst observed.

During a rally on Thursday in San Jose, California, Trump said Clinton should be imprisoned for her use of a private email server while she was US secretary of state.

"Folks, honestly, she is guilty as hell," Trump said. "Hillary Clinton has to go to jail."

Trump's criticism of Clinton was among his strongest in a growing escalation of words between the two presidential candidates ahead of California's June 7 state primary election.

Earlier Thursday, Clinton unleashed a blistering criticism of Trump on foreign policy and said he was "unfit" to be president.

More than 2,000 emails sent and received by Clinton while working as the top US diplomat between 2009 and 2013 include classified information, which the government bans from being handled outside secure, government-controlled channels.

Trump has questioned Clinton’s judgment about the wars in Iraq and Libya, two conflicts she backed.

As a senator, Clinton voted in 2002 to authorize the use of military force in Iraq. And as secretary of state in 2011, she strongly supported a military intervention to overthrow Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
