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.

    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.

      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 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.
