Yes, and there are a lot of people in the world who have less freedom due to US interventions / support.

As though America is the only meaningful nation advocating for freedom in the world; or that Americans are themselves living lives of liberty, free from the shackles of systemic oppression.

The post and all comments were in the context of America. That does not in any way what so ever imply America is the only meaningful nation advocating freedom. You read what you wanted to read, not what was written.

Which people exactly?

south koreans

all those who were liberated in Operation Freedom obviously. All those who now live life of a zen like peace due to Operation Enduring Peace

Reminds me of the clip of the Us Marine pointing a gun in the face of unarmed protesters screaming "GET BACK WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR MOTHERFUCKING FREEDOM"...... yeah right mate, you just keep telling yourself that.

Yeah, all those people with their new-found 'freedom', granted them by the West, are all either floating across the Mediterranean right now, or sitting in camps being protested by the 'truly free people' whose country they are 'invading' ..
