While yes, this is an amazing and hopeful moment, please let’s remember that the downfall of tyranny often does not result in the establishment of democracy. From occupied nations, yes, like Eastern Europe, but nations like Russia, Iran and especially China don’t have a the institutions or even memory of the institutions that can create democracy. The Arab spring failed to create democracy everywhere except Tunisia. I welcome the end to the repressive regimes that’s are failing. But it’s going to be disruptive and messy - and dangerous.
