If you just watch the news an hour a day you know a lot about what’s happening in Syria. This guy is telling us he should be president and he has no clue about one of the more discussed cities under siege by our enemies.

Perhaps it’s the pot. Just saying.

Via RCP:

Asked by ‘Morning Joe’ regular Mike Barnicle what he would do about the situation in Aleppo if he became president, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson calmly asked: “And what is Aleppo?”

Aleppo, a city in Syria, has been a center of fighting in that country’s civil war for more than three years. The U.S., Russia, Syria and Turkey, in turns, have been bombing the ISIS-held city on and off for almost the entire war.

“You’re kidding me,” Barnicle offered.

“No!” replied Johnson.

“I do think that it’s a mess. I think the only way we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that to an end,” he eventually replied.

    Remember when Trump confused Quds with Kurds, and proceeded to chastise Hugh Hewitt saying that it was a gotcha question? (Though that happened very early in the campaign, and I hope Trump’s foreign affairs knowledge has increased by now.)

    I’m not excusing either one of them, but maybe Gary Johnson should have done the same.
