Definitely not a certainty. China and Russia are powerful forces against liberal democracy and sometimes it seems like every time a new democracy arises another one slips back onto tyranny. I would agree the odds are still 50/50

@cherylderue336 France today appears to be a successful democracy with basic freedoms. I've never been to France but from the outside it looks like the actions of the government reflect the will of the people. Could be wrong, no democracy is perfect, but over time it looks to me like France is moving in a positive direction.

@benisrood rephrase that: simple freedoms and democracy are better than tyranny. Are you saying this is incorrect? Why?

What does "consent of the population" mean in Russia? If a tyrant indoctrinates it's population and kills or imprisons it's opposition can we say there is consent? Recent polls, admittedly imperfect, say that most Russians support the war.
