He warned that the region could become the testing ground for a new Kulturkampf, in which western and eastern values clashed. This view, while controversial, did not differ much from what many Western politicians were saying. It is difficult to deny that the risks are serious. However, it is still too early to claim that Central Europe is slipping into authoritarianism and shifting eastwards in terms of its political values. Poland and Hungary are far closer to model democracy Denmark than to Turkey or even Russia. Hungarians and Poles enjoy unrestricted freedom of speech and association; they may publicly demonstrate their opposition to the government; political parties operate freely and private media have not been nationalized or censored. The institutional shocks Central Europe is facing look likely to be serious, not fatal. For political elites and voters in both Poland and in Hungary, democracy remains “the only game in town.” No openly antidemocratic movement in either country could seize power in the foreseeable future.

Another article observed that no one will help North Korea in the event of a nuclear war. And while “certain countries” suggest that North Korea remain calm and show restraint toward its enemies, they take a neutral position themselves in the struggle with capitalists and imperialists. The articles did not name any country, but the signal was clear: Kim Jong-un was not going to budge. North Korea’s economy is utterly dependent on China: roughly 70 percent of its total trade is with that country. If Beijing stopped this trade, the Kim regime would be doomed instantly. Yet the fact of the matter is that China has little influence on its client regime in Pyongyang. The Global Times, a Chinese government newspaper, observed with melancholy that the two nations are no longer friendly and that China finds itself under undue pressure from North Korea. It is not difficult to imagine the bitterness toward Kim Jong-un that Chinese officials mask behind such minced words.
