The ruling Georgian Dream Party wants to cement its hold on power and end Georgia ’s dreams of democracy.

The party, built by Russian -connected billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili , has undergone a major transformation.

Georgia has reneged on many of its earlier, pro-Western commitments.

The more democracies, the better—here and everywhere..

Georgian Dream's appeal lies in the false promise of having one’s cake and eating it too.

The West must do more to dispel this myth.

A high-ranking European official—ideally Josep Borrell , the EU 's top diplomat—should show up in Tbilisi .

The U.S. decision in July to impose visa restrictions on Georgian Dream officials is a good one.
