Cubaâs authoritarian alliances are a threat to democracy. Cuba's alliances with China and Russia forge a global culture of impunity for atrocity crimes.
Alliances between authoritarian regimes are one of the greatest global threats facing democracy today. Collaboration between autocrats makes them stronger, and more effective at surveilling, isolating, and persecuting human rights defenders.

Yes, thousands of desperate Haitians pile aboard floating junk heaps and set off across hundreds of miles of storm-tossed, shark-infested Atlantic waters for Florida. If their luck holds, they'll make landfall. If it keeps holding, within a year they'll be scrubbing congealed grease and burnt macaroni off pots in some greasy spoon for minimum wage.
Are they crazy? Heck, they won't even qualify for reparations!
