Myself, I would say that Corbyn -- though smart enough and moral enough to get most political issues right -- has a horrifically shallow understanding of foreign policy matters. He's been consistently right about Palestine and Northern Ireland largely because of his long-term connections with people who actually know the reality; but where something like Syria is concerned -- and now Ukraine also -- he is hobbled by a naive reliance on shit-rag media and the poisonous liberal scuttlebutt of the Westminster bubble.
