Christians and Muslims, they died together during October 1918 defending the sovereignty of a liberal democracy, France. Now forever, they rest together. Glory to the heroes.

Doesn't "The Land of the Free" mean that anyone who is on "The Land" (i.e. US territory) is free?

"We'll slap huge tariffs on you. If you don't retaliate, we'll reward you with lowering them a bit" is like saying "I'm taking your wallet. If you don't resist, you won't get hurt". That promise is NOT a favor, to be appreciated as a foundation for future amical encounters.

It would seem that a necessary condition to the US ever again - even after Trump has gone - regaining the trust of its traditional allies is that it inscribes in its constitution the interdiction to annex territory.

You know your democracy is under attack when after an election suddenly certain prosecutions are being dropped, without any change in the law that could account for that.

My graph on tariffs. Market starts at (P1, Q1). Trump slaps on tariff. Shifts the supply line of exporters up to the dash line. New equilibrium at a higher store price (P2). Also less goods consumed (Q2). Exporters also lose because their net price has dropped to P3, and they now sell only Q2.

Let's always remind ourselves to keep the FOUR HORSEMEN OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY - 1 | Free & Fair Elections, 2 | Separation Of Powers, 3 | Rule Of Law, 4 | Civil Liberties - in their saddle. Any ideology or religion that aims to dismount them, should be met with decisive force, militarily if required.

The US is no longer "the greatest democratic experiment in history". That honour is now bestowed on the EU.

When Christian-nationalist Americans proudly claim their ancestors fled religious persecution in Europe, they really mean "religious persecution of Christian denominations akin to ours", implying they would likely have no qualms about any other religious persecution. On the contrary.
