Seems tailored to give them a legal basis for refusing SRS/HT/Counselling during litigation.
Anyone who has a diagnosis can put the military into medical liability, but this allows them to keep productive and non-costly transgenders in the closet like the old DADT days- but with an actual reason.

so south korea will reduce steel exports by 30%, raise the cap on imported US vehicles from 25,000 to 50,000 and remove south korean regulations from US import vehicles
in exchange, the US grants an exemption to the steel tariff that trump threatened

[x] winning [ ] not winning

it's not unlikely that by lowering environmental and especially safety standards to american levels, the import of american cars will sink even further than the current 10k. so the cap increase was likely just done to sell this as a "win" to simple minded people who don't understand the issue fully.

that being said, to consider blackmailing a longterm ally in an unstable region a "win", while at the same time starting a trade war with the economic powerhouse of the future, AND further uniting your other allies against you by yet again demonstrating what an erratic and unreliable partner you are, requires some seriously flawed and extremely short term focused understanding of the term "winning". guess i shouldn't be too surprised then...
i bet that if your orange cult leader robbed a kindergarten at gunpoint, you'd probably also consider it a "win" by the low standards you quickly found out you have to apply to him - i mean after all, he'd have all the wonderful brightly coloured crayons, right?

a few more exemptions and i am starting to wonder why this has been done in the first place

Why are you posting magazine articles

Why do you touch yourself at night?

It's a good article, give it a read.

Its funny because this article is just blatant fearmongering with leftist interpretations of history to create false credibility

Ross Douthat is a right-winger.

Did you even read the article? Accurately describing Bolton's foreign policy viewpoint and opining on what that means for Trump's policy in the future isn't fearmongering.
