The Biden admin's 3rd Summit for Democracy, set for 3/18-20, conveys US support for freedom globally. But it is no replacement for a US strategy for advancing democracy worldwide. We need to pair the Summit with a strategy. Brookings Foreign Policy Here is how: brookings.edu/articles/the-d…

Putin and Xi are collaborating more and more, International Republican Institute’s Patrick W. Quirk says. This "friendship without limits" slogan isn't just a bumper sticker, it's a credo that these autocrats are putting into practice, he adds. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
