Elon Musk Suggests “Liberating” The People Of Britain!

CNBC reports that Elon Musk has asked whether the USA should "liberate" the people of Britain from their "tyrannical government".

Mr.Musk has been strongly critical of the UK government's handling of child sex abuse cases, and accused the U.K. Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist. I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy of Musk's position.

Elon Musk's political bed-fellow, Donald Trump, has a long and well documented history of sexual abuse, and of making excuses for, trivialising and spreading disinformation about his crimes. Trump has also made clear his intentions to be a tyrannical president, and has demonstrated tyrannical leadership of the Republican party and his election campaign. Vladimir Putin's annexation of the Crimea and the invasion of the remainder of Ukraine pale into insignificance besides Trump's plans to annex Greenland, the Panama Canal and Canada.

All the above begs the question: should the rest of the free world liberate the people of the USA from the incoming tyrannical government of Donald Trump? I have made the case before that I believe the USA is a rogue nation (see here, here, here, here and here) akin to Russia, North Korea and China. How long will we sit on our hands in the face of tyranny by the USA perpetrated against their neighbours and allies? What acts constitute the red lines for the democratic nations of the world?
