The Russian strike against Poland is not, strictly speaking, a full-blown attack, nor is it a simple provocation. Now that the United States has lost every ounce of deterrence under the weight of Trump’s corruption, Putin is probing the ground.

Come si riconosce il momento in cui la democrazia cede il passo all’autoritarismo? Misurando il costo dell’opposizione. In una democrazia, i cittadini non vengono puniti per l’opposizione pacifica a chi detiene il potere. Negli Stati Uniti, la transizione è già avvenuta.
