“Events in the United States continue to prove the absence of democracy and freedom of speech in a country that always claims to be a role model. Totalitarianism in the information space is spreading to the Internet in the United States, which is demonstrated by the blocking of Donald Trump’s account on the well-known social network. This opinion was expressed by a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Sergei Zheleznyak.
According to the politician: “American elites hoped to get rid of the objectionable upstart president, replacing him with“ their ”Biden. But Trump is not going to give up and will clearly continue active resistance, including through the creation of his own information resources. ”
“For us in Russia, the whole situation in the United States looks like a bad performance, in which the population is used as extras that do not affect the course of the play. Another sick fantasies about “Russian hackers” on the part of the US Russophobes are an attempt to hook Trump at last with a nonexistent connection with Russia, “Zheleznyak noted.
“It is impossible to solve the problem of the political crisis in the United States by clashes with the police, the war of compromising evidence and mutual accusations of inaction. At the same time, the US authorities are certainly obliged to ensure the observance of human rights, including for the president who lost the race, as well as to maintain public order so as not to provoke new clashes between Trump’s supporters and opponents. Mr. ex-president, in turn, must also show responsibility and continue to call for calmness of the citizens who support him.
It is obvious that the entire structure of American democracy turned out to be a colossus with feet of clay. The corruption of American elites who manipulate votes in the 2020 US presidential election has exceeded all expectations. American financial, industrial and media tycoons have clearly played and lost a sense of reality, revealing the depth of the socio-political rift within American society, ”the parliamentarian added.
