Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”
Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Comment from someone who prefers not to be named: It takes a lot to piss off the Canadians. We're going to have no friends here; the trade war may develop not necessarily to America's advantage.

Yoon Suk Yeol reminds me of Trump. It is only a matter of time before Trump, like Yeol, tries to take away our democratic rights. I only hope that the citizens of this nation act like the South Koreans and stand up for our freedom.
