why is democracy being seen as an end and not a means? isn't the goal supposed to be to raise the standard of living of people in developing or emerging economies, to reduce income inequality, to combat climate change, and/or to improve support and infrastructure for disadvantaged people and their communities?

in a state with limited political goodwill, why isn't more effort spent on actually benefiting the people instead of maintaining institutions that evidently degrade the minute attention shifts away from them?

If anything, this makes the A-50U downing less likely given that there's been no indication that any A-50U crew are dead and Russia clearly isn't censoring reports on such.

They're different stories about different statements from different countries. Estonia, Germany, and Poland all independently made statements, not as a single joint statement.

If this is a policy going forward, it should be listed as a rule.
