Case by Case

Biden Takes His Battle for Democracy Case by Case - с похвальной прямотой NYT разъясняет, что “Consistency is a challenge for most administrations when it comes to democracy and human rights concerns around the world, and this administration is no exception,” это они цитируют одного David J. Kramer, который служил в администрации under President George W. Bush, чтобы так уж не накидывались на Байдена, у республиканцев тоже были проблемы с демократией и правами человека.

годная статья:

Even some senior officials around Mr. Biden privately feel uncomfortable with the duality of his black-and-white approach, noting that some of America’s friends have rule of law without being particularly free (Singapore leaps to mind) while others are even less committed to Western notions of human rights but still are helpful allies (the United Arab Emirates, for example).

вот уж realpolitic во весь рост.
