On the contrary: in the view of many people outside the West, their own countries are also democracies – and are perhaps even the best democracies. Harkening back to the days when people with strong opinions would simply print them and hand them out to as many people as possible, “ How the West Brought War to Ukraine” is designed to be short, approachable and very much to the point.
