The United States is not even close to world leadership on democracy. This was stated on Thursday by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova to foreign media, quoted by Labor.
“If there was a country right now that would be ideal in terms of everything – these are the highest standards – it could probably teach others. “Today, the United States is not even close to the position of world leader, including in matters of democracy,” she said.
The diplomat added that the United States is “a state that clearly states its interests, unfortunately, not nationally, but only to the lobbying group that is in power, above all: human rights, international law, in general and some kind of legality. .
US policy to impose on countries the concept of its world leadership, as well as interference in the sovereign affairs of other countries, is a dead end, Zakharova said.
According to the diploma, the current course of the American leadership is characterized by “narrow-mindedness”, which cannot be inherent in a global hegemon. “When [има] “A global leader who is ready to lead the planet, he will not isolate such problems as the internal situation with COVID and the opposition of China,” said Zakharova.
“It will be a completely different view of the world, even in the context of COVID. It will be an international interaction, it will be a matter of counteracting such pandemics in the future, of course, it will not be a matter of counteracting one particular country or in relation to opposing another particular country, but [въпросът за] building relationships for the future and the possibility of presenting possible dominance, if any. ”
In addition, according to the diploma, under the current administration, the US State Department was left without ready specialists, who were fired from the structures because of the “confrontation between one political movement and another political movement, brought to a maximum.” “How can you deal with a serious global program when you just don’t have specialists?” Zaharova continued. “And to constantly interfere in foreign political processes. In any case, it seems to me that this is a dead end story. “
She noted that the geopolitical predictions of the American side as a rule do not come true. “It simply came to our notice then. And the Russian side’s predictions are coming true, “the diplomat said, recalling that with regard to Iraq, Syria, Libya and the Arab Spring in general, Russia’s predictions have come true in full.
“There are things that cannot be disputed. Not because we will not have arguments, but because it is common sense, “she added.
