TV show: Evening with Vladimir Solovyov. Page 4

The West would like to exclude from the process of working out global solutions those who have their own, different point of view. Fresh example. The idea of convening a democracy summit put forward by the US administration. The participants, of course, will be determined by Washington itself, arrogating to itself the right to determine the degree of compliance of a country with democratic standards. In fact, this initiative is quite in the spirit of the Cold War, proclaiming a new ideological crusade against all dissent. Moreover, this line is being pursued against the background of Biden's speeches and words that the United States does not want the division of the world into opposing blocs. In fact, the summit of democracy will become a step towards the split of the world community into friends and foes. It is also significant that while declaring the priority of democracy in its relations with any partners, Washington is concerned exclusively with the situation within the respective countries. As soon as it comes to the establishment of democracy in the field of international relations, the United States, and all its allies, lose interest in the conversation. Nobody, they say, can infringe on the authority of NATO and the European Union. These are the rules.
