Liberation, in the language of American foreign policy, means: open for business. Open borders for American capital. Open markets for American goods. Open access for American military presence.

Liberation, in the language of American foreign policy, means: open for business.
Open borders for American capital.
Open markets for American goods.
Open access for American military presence.
Governments that provide this are "stable democracies," "valued partners," "beacons of hope."
Governments that don't are "authoritarian regimes," "threats to regional security," candidates for "humanitarian intervention."
The people living inside both kinds of countries are, in most cases, not asked for their opinion.
Their opinion becomes relevant only when it can be used to justify the decision that was already made.
This is not cynicism.
This is the operational record, consistently, across 80 years, across dozens of countries, across Republican and Democratic administrations alike.
The party changes.
The pattern doesn't.
Which tells you the pattern isn't a policy.
It's a structure.
And structures don't change until the people inside them name them clearly enough to build something different.
