Even if they haven’t achieved it perfectly, Fareed notes, former Soviet countries have lined up to pursue liberal democracy. To those who see it on the wane globally, “I say, ‘Let them go to Ukraine,’” Fareed concludes. “The people of Ukraine are showing us that those values –of an open society and a free world—can be worth fighting for and even dying for. The question for all of us is, what will we do to help them?”
