Trade might be free, but freedom shouldn't be up for sale. They are responsible for the consequences of economic and (lack of) military policy.

Power vacuums can be more dangerous than actual dictatorships. Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Russia.

I'm not saying that dictators are preferable in our countries (at least), but just that liberals aren't necessarily much better.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Just so you know: I wouldn't vote for Trump.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
