When Obama made a deal with China the right laid into him ceaselessly for being soft on a dictator. But he got something in return and China has nowhere near the human rights violations of NK.
You have very short and convenient memories on the right.
The right is definitely a bunch of hypocrites as well. One neat thing with Trump, is that when he changes his position on an issue, every person in the US changes position on the issue as well.
I personally don't care much about human rights around the world. The US has enough to deal with, without trying to be the moral police from countries on the other side of the world. If they want to try, that's okay too. But I'm personally indifferent.

Human rights has a practical component just as great or greater than it;s moral component. The syrian refuge crisis, for example..is global, not because of the morality of the issue, but because of the practical consequences of that violation.
Do you care about the stability of our economic or defense partners..which in turn effects our stability, economy, and defense?

Holy hell your desperate to maintain that lie despite all contrary evidence
Once again, your pitiful attempt to debunk the fact that Trudeau has a fake eyebrow has been counter debunked as seen in this untouched photo of a recent news conference between President Trump and PM Trudeau....

On this much we can agree. This kind of short sightedness is how things can go terribly wrong. Afterwords you, like Trump, can say "who could've known?" The ones who could've known are the ones you call the elites but who the rest of us call competent human beings.

"Who could've known" what? It's unclear what you're referring to. That there are human rights atrocities around the world?

In case you forgot, The Orange Turd famously commented about health care:
Quote:"Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject," he added. "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated."
Everyone knew it was complicated except that sad sack piece of shit who should be selling used cars instead of running a country. That's why you want competent people running a nation not loud-mouthed fuckheads.
