The Globalist

Vladimir Putin is a murderous despot: Why the West’s response to Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine matters. And why we must deal firmly with his European enablers.

Looking ahead to 2022, three Nobel Prize winners have one uniting message for all of us: All around the world, we must fight much harder for freedom.

The recurring question of what freedom means in the political and the everyday world.

Are established democracies sliding back on democratic commitments?

A nation’s income level doesn’t always correlate to its freedom level.

A quarter of countries are not free. Where are they located?

Many young democracies with flawed institutions are struggling not to slide backward. Turkey has failed.

America, on the road to become like Europe’s social democracies, is losing its exceptionalism.

Until now we, as simple “users,” have given little thought to where this profound technical change will lead us.

A call to freedom’s real arms.
