Woodruff asks Sanders about how he would approach Russia.
Sanders says it's a complicated relationship and when you look at the terrible state of Syria, it's a horror there. So we've got try to develop a positive relationship with Russia, but we also have to show Putin that he can't get away with aggressive acts.
Clinton says that in terms of Syria, Sec. Kerry has made great strides. But she gets specific and says that the ceasefire there has to be implemented more quickly than what the Russians want. They are stalling. Clinton adds that the Security Council resolution rests on the ceasefire and it's very complicated given all the players—Saudi Arabia, Russia, Syria, etc. But she stresses moving to the ceasefire faster because otherwise the Russians might continue bombing the rebels in Syria, not necessarily ISIS. She mentions that Sanders’ idea of injecting Iranian troops into the Syrian conflict is a bad idea.
Sanders responds that we have to look toward building a better relationship with Iran sometime in the future. Clinton says there's plenty more to do before we can normalize relations with Iran, especially because they sponsor terrorist groups around the world.
Sanders responds that he realizes there's plenty to be done, but we must work toward that. He adds that in 2007 during a debate, Clinton objected to Obama suggesting that he would reach out to countries with which we have big disagreements.
Clinton said, if you're going to quote me, quote me correctly. The question was, Would you meet with an adversary without conditions? I said, no, and that's what we followed in the Obama administration.
