Maybe there's a better example but the point remains, liberating a people comes with self-determination. It's not a matter of how little rights the people had before the military action.

Well TIL. But to call it liberation isn't correct. America is also kidnapping people from their homes and work places but to say of another country was to invade and take a territory wouldn't be the same as liberation. Liberation has a higher standard where the people of the land receive sovereignty and a self-determined government.

Y'all are desperate to relive the glory days of WW2 when it was clear who the baddies were. I get it, Americans do the same.

Conscription has always violated human rights but there are certainly better words like "conquer". And let's not pretend Russia isn't also conscripting men (though certainly not those in their 50s).

Him calling the GOP weird was not a gaffe but the campaign made him walk away from that language because it might offend potential turncoats. The fact he is internalizing the criticism worries me.

Between the lines: Tariffs are going to be used as a tool to transfer wealth from the bottom to the top. But there are some global players who want in on that action, so Trump is going to pick hand pick some winners in exchange for foreign policy.

Not for men? If they could figure out how to sell them discretely at his rallies they would be the largest market!
