Obviously these metrics are bullshit, but it's still funny when the US can't even fit the ones pretty much designed to defend western countries on the scale.

    I know it's just my liberal credentialism, but its oddly validating when the official source can no longer deny we're shit.

      I've read that Mongolia has real issues with racist sinophobia as well as a messed up far right neo-Nazi movement.

      Not saying the whole country is like that, I've never personally been there.

    Mongolia is alligned with Russia, right? Isn't it about time for Americans to learn how terrible and oppressive their president is and we should support a color revolution that is using the American and Japanese flag for inner mongolia in their protests?

    This list is complete garbage, and while it is funny that the us dropped, the bottom of the list is basically "countries the us has sanctions and embargoes against"

    I don't know how I feel having Canada score well on the list, considering its basically a measure of participation in and support of American imperialism.

      These are the people telling you where all the Freedom is buried

      https://freedomhouse.org/expert/michael-abramowitz

      Michael J. Abramowitz is president of Freedom House. Before joining Freedom House in February 2017, he was director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Levine Institute for Holocaust Education. He led the museum’s genocide prevention efforts and later oversaw its public education programs.

      He was previously National Editor and then White House correspondent for the Washington Post. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and former fellow at the German Marshall Fund and the Hoover Institution. A graduate of Harvard College, he is also a board member of the National Security Archive.

      Definitely a spook.

      https://freedomhouse.org/expert/gerardo-berthin

      Prior to joining Freedom House, he was a Senior Associate at Tetra Tech’s Democracy and Governance sector, where he managed large USAID-funded projects in Latin America. Between 2009-2014, he was the Governance and Decentralization Policy Advisor at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Regional Service Center for Latin America and the Caribbean in Panama, where he provided advice and technical assistance to 24 UNDP country offices.

      Guaranteed spook.

      https://freedomhouse.org/expert/sarah-cook

      Cook is also the author of several Asian country reports for Freedom House’s annual publications, as well as four special reports about China: Beijing's Global Megaphone (2020), The Battle for China’s Spirit (2017), The Politburo’s Predicament (2015), and The Long Shadow of Chinese Censorship (2013). Her comments and writings have appeared on CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, and the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China. Before joining Freedom House, Ms. Cook co-edited the English translation of A China More Just, a memoir by prominent rights attorney Gao Zhisheng, and was twice a delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission meeting in Geneva for an NGO working on religious freedom in China. She received a B.A. in International Relations from Pomona College and as a Marshall Scholar, completed Master’s degrees in Politics and International Law at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

      100% USDA Grade Spook, but also

    Given that Mongolia sank and cheated a presidential candidate that was a trade unionist, so that he couldn’t be in the runoff, 2 people round, that’s pretty fitting
