2017 Alabama special Senate election: on Foreign Policy


Roy Moore: U.S. shouldn't be restricted by U.N. treaties

We should not be subject to UN control and direction and should not rely on, or support, UN treaties like LOST (Law of the Sea Treaty) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Such treaties only undermine our sovereignty as a nation, as does the very presence of the United Nations on our soil. We must maintain a strong nuclear defense and not rely on nuclear reduction treaties which leave us vulnerable to foreign powers.

Roy Moore: America and Russia have both promoted bad things

When The Guardian told Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) that Ronald Reagan once called Russia "the focus of evil in the modern world," Moore replied, "You could say that very well about America, couldn't you?" He added: "We promote a lot of bad things," specifically citing same-sex marriage. When the reporter suggested that's an argument Vladimir Putin makes, Moore said, "Well, then maybe Putin is right. Maybe he's more akin to me than I know."
