The list of anti-democratic actions that have been recorded in the US in recent days is too similar to those created by American human rights NGOs, criticizing other states.
About this writes the publication The Washington Post.
Pogroms, police arbitrariness, a president who is ready to use the army against his own people, as Ukraine did at one time, – Americans who have not yet recovered from the “epoch-making economic collapse” and coronavirus have to coexist with such realities.
The media draw attention to the fact that the events of the past week resemble the “catalog of abuse”, which could be seen in the “documents of American human rights groups in other countries.” So, armed security forces are used against unarmed demonstrators. Moreover, cases of police attacks on journalists covering protests have been recorded.
However, a much bigger problem for the American administration is that the shame in the USA has become the property of the world community, writes WP. While in some countries thousands of people spoke out in support of the demonstrators, in others they pointed to Washington’s overt hypocrisy.
