The editorial argues IMF loans to Russia delay essential reforms. It notes total IMF bailouts since 1992, the need to cut government spending, and to enforce property rights.

Lessons From Rome And Sarajevo In Modern Power
Sobran argues that history offers cautions beyond the familiar Munich lesson. He contrasts Rome’s Republic to Empire with Caesars’ tyranny, noting the Senate’s formal power versus real autocratic control, and warns that today’s presidency risks similar consolidation. He cites Suetonius, Augustus, Caligula, and contemporary concerns about American history and power.
