Trumpty Dumpty doesn't care about liberating anyone.  He's already made it clear that the U.S. is not interested in human rights in its dealings with other countries,  including China.  Trumpty Dumpty will need to start a war if he wants to have any chance in 2020.  And that means getting things rolling with either North Korea or Iran.  If a few hundred thousand people, or even a few million, need to die for Trumpty to succeed that's OK by Trumpty and his sociopathic enablers.
