Is America the Beacon of Democracy?

The president has done a very good job to recognize the dangers here, even though late in coming. He just hasn't been communicating with the american people sufficiently. I think rallying around president zlensky and the ukranian people is actually an easy task. This is not just a far off battlefield between russia and ukraine. This is a pivotal battle in the war between democracy and authoritarianism. It will shape the 20 first century for decades to come. And so i guess my question to you would be, what do you see as the next necessary steps for the united states?
