We unfortunately have not found a way to turn our kleptokratic dictatorship neighbor into one.

The greatest failure of the past 20 years was the belief that if we open up trade and grow rich together, rational self-interest will lead to liberalization and peace. Instead, it just gave our enemies more resources to spend on self-destructive imperialist ambitions.

Same story as always: the goal sounded nice, but no one wanted to do the actual work.

Plenty of people wanted to do the work. Lot of European politicians were desperate to do the work.

But it turns out that when a fascist has nukes, there's not much you can do to convince them to not be fascist.
