Those who Trump directed his inflammatory rhetoric at during
his UN speech were thoroughly deserving recipients. However it could be the case that the tactics
he advocates to tackle so called "rogue states" are actually making
their leaderships more powerful.
Sanctions on such countries tend to make their people poorer and
therefore more reliant on their governments for everything including food
rations. This is exactly what happened
with Saddam Hussein's Iraq and is still happening with Cuba under the US trade
embargo. Perhaps unrestricted trade
would instead kill such tyrannies with kindness.
