Why America Must Lead the Fight for Freedom Throughout the World with Larry Diamond | Policy Stories

The world is currently experiencing a democratic recession, with autocracies like China and Russia posing threats to democracies globally. Strong US leadership is crucial to support of global democracy, but that leadership must be continually emphasized for each new generation. Democracies with the rule of law reduce the threats to peace and security and increase the prospects for prosperity worldwide.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

I have never doubted America’s role in the World. But i wonder if passed misdeeds and a weakening set of ideal is not undermining that role.

[@davidrhenderson1950]

In other words, make the world safe for democracy. Hmmm.

[@psikeyhackr6914]

Isn't that what the coup in Iran was about in 1953 to put the Shah in power?

[@roxynoz8245]

Foreign Policy does not have this role. We can design an international system - as former President Wilson intended (C.F, League of Nations) - to institutionalize dialogue with states willing to cooperate with our basic interests, them being illiberal is quite irrelevant.

[@radenkovic2856]

its not bro xDD nobody cares about democracy but only about states being liberal so you can make money. its all about money

[@faber5573]
