Deconstructing Western Panic: The Flawed Premises of 'The Road to Unfreedom'

Timothy Snyder's 'The Road to Unfreedom' argues that democracies are dying through a slow poisoning of truth, as the post-Cold War 'politics of inevitability' has been replaced by a sinister 'politics of eternity' peddled by the Kremlin.

The US views updating CAFTA-DR as a strategic move to counter China's influence and secure supply chains in Central America, reinforcing its economic security and regional stability.
