President Bidens "Democracy Summit" is a Joke by Ron Paul!
On December 9-10 President Biden will preside over an online "Summit for Democracy," which claims it will "bring together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action."
What a joke. This is not about promoting democracy. It is really about undermining democracy worldwide with United States interventionist foreign policy.
Yes, the conference is anti-democracy, not pro-democracy.
The countries whose elected leaders do the bidding of the United States - disregarding the wishes of those who elected them - are to be favored with an invitation to this "virtual" event. The countries that pursue domestic and foreign policy that is independent from the demands of the United States State Department and Central Intelligenc Agency are not allowed into Washington,D.C.s sandbox to play.
Much of the world has seen through the pettiness of such an infantile approach. It is like the fairy tale of the emperor with no clothes. None of the sycophantic foreign leaders graced with an invitation to the banquet dare point out that the United States is in the business of undermining democracy overseas, not promoting it.
Color revolutions, where elected governments are overthrown with United States backing, is about the only thing the United States exports these days.
Ask the Ukrainians how their United States-backed overthrow in 2014 has worked out for them. Ask any victim of United States anti-democratic "color revolutions" about the United States commitment to democracy.
For Washington,D.C., democracy means "you elect who we tell you to elect."
European Union member country Hungary is the only EU country not invited to participate in the "Summit for Democracy" even though it has undeniably held fully democratic elections since the end of communism 30 years ago. There is no question that Hungary is a democratic country, but it is not invited to President Bidens "Summit for Democracy.”"
Why???
Because the Biden Administration does not like Hungarys democracy. It does not like the fact that the Hungarian people have voted for a conservative government that occasionally pursues foreign and domestic policies at odds with the dictates of Foggy Bottom and Langley.
The Biden Administration does not like that Hungary resisted the mass invasion of refugees from countries and cultures absolutely alien to Hungarys history.
President Biden does not like the fact that Hungarians have voted time and time again for a conservative government that openly professes Christian values. But what they hate most is that when Washington,D.C. says "jump," Budapest does not always ask "how high?".
It is a petty game that has already backfired like all of Washington,D.C.s idiotic interventionist initiatives.
For example, in the Hungarian situation, Washington,D.C.s childish snub of Hungary has meant that the rest of the European Union cannot participate in the summit as the EU.
Washington,D.C.s intervention overseas is always an own-goal.
Sanctioning Russia over phony Russiagate has resulted in more Russia-China cooperation. The United States tells Iran it must not sell oil anywhere, and similarly-demonized China cuts a good deal for Iranian oil.
It will not shock anyone that Russia and Iran - which both hold elections no less democratic than those in Ukraine, where opposition parties are outlawed and their leaders jailed - are not invited to Joe Bidens little party.
But no doubt their absence will be more than made up by North Macedonia, Suriname, and Micronesia.
Democracy summit??
More like propaganda summit!!
What a joke!!
