“Americans Are Now Getting a Mild Taste of Their Own Medicine” of Disrupting Democracy Elsewhere

Leaders of the U.K., New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, France, Germany, NATO and the European Council called for a peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden. Investigative journalist Allan Nairn looks at what steps Trump may take next, and says despite protestations from President-elect Joe Biden and others that the insurrection was “not who we are,” the U.S. has a long track record of disrupting democratic processes elsewhere. “What has shaken the U.S. population so badly, this assault on the Capitol yesterday, is really nothing by comparison to what U.S. operations have done in Latin America, in Asia, in Africa, in the Middle East, to other democratic movements and elected governments over the years,” says Nairn.

America’s Friends and Foes Express Horror as Capitol Attack ‘Shakes the World’

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Global leaders watched live as a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, and many saw it as a warning to global democracies, placing the blame squarely on President Trump.

BERLIN — As an angry mob stormed the heart of the world’s most powerful democracy, the rest of the world watched the once-unimaginable scenes unfolding in Washington with dismay and disbelief — and deep concern about what the turmoil could mean as authoritarian forces gain strength around the globe.

Many of those following live broadcasts of armed rioters forcing their way into the Capitol saw it as a stark and disturbing warning for all the world’s democracies: If this can happen in the United States, it can happen anywhere.

“We currently witness an attack on the very fundaments of democratic structures and institutions,” said Peter Beyer, the German government’s coordinator for trans-Atlantic affairs. “This is not merely a U.S. national issue, but it shakes the world, at least all democracies.”

One by one, officials around the globe responded with the sort of statements previously issued by the United States State Department when political violence consumed other countries. » | Katrin Bennhold and Steven Lee Myers | Published: Wednesday, January 6, 2021; Updated: Thursday, January 7, 2021

Violences au Capitole : jour de honte aux Etats-Unis

LE MONDE: L’envahissement du Congrès, mercredi 6 janvier, par une foule de partisans extrémistes chauffés à blanc par Donald Trump est l’aboutissement d’une présidence tumultueuse qui a fini par fracturer le pays.

Editorial du « Monde ». Elu il y a quatre ans sur la promesse de « rendre sa grandeur à l’Amérique », le président Donald Trump achève son mandat en la couvrant de honte. L’histoire retiendra que la démocratie américaine a été défiée, et un moment suspendue, mercredi 6 janvier, par une foule de partisans extrémistes que le président lui-même avait incitée à marcher sur le Capitole pour empêcher son adversaire démocrate, Joe Biden, d’être officiellement déclaré vainqueur de l’élection du 3 novembre 2020.

Ce jour noir pour les Etats-Unis est l’aboutissement d’une présidence tumultueuse qui a fini par diviser le pays en deux parties, celle qui respecte l’ordre constitutionnel et les décisions de justice, et celle qui vit dans un univers parallèle. Cet univers, nourri de théories complotistes, est celui d’une réalité alternative dans laquelle Donald Trump n’a pas perdu l’élection par une différence de 7 millions de suffrages populaires et le vote de 302 voix au collège électoral contre 232, mais veut croire qu’elle lui a été volée par une fraude massive et orchestrée. » | ÉDITORIAL | jeudi 7 janvier 2021
