I'm pretty sure I posted both of those Counterpunch articles here at Voat a while back. I love being nonpartisan. You ought to take a look at some of the other articles at that site, and not just those that support your partisan political cause. :)
Anyway, Bernie's war record is nothing like "a warmonger" and better than most everyone else. He came up independent then relied on compromise once he became powerful. As president, where he has the power to be in control of war, he won't be making any. Contrast Obama. Obama came up as a direct result of massive support from the Democratic party and from the TV. Bernie and Obama are very different.
Bernie is more like Pope Francis or Mikhail Gorbachev. When his day comes, he will have a few surprises for us. This is probably why you oppose him so strongly. :)

So he'd be presiding over the decline and collapse of a superpower? Even more reason not to elect him.
