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).
The new talking point is that man made climate change is real but burning oil isn’t causing the world to warm. But that does mean we can geoengineer our climate to be cooler. 🙃
Live by the sword, die by the sword. We let Gazan children die because of who their parents voted for. I’m not saying two wrong make a right but that doing what is right starts with us.

In May 2020, Lai told CNN news that US president Donald Trump was “the only one who can save us” from China, with Apple Daily publishing a similar plea addressed to Trump the same month.
There’s something ironic about this…
They can do what Ukraine did, buy drone parts from China to make the most of their defense budget.
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.
