Fukuyama said that American-style democracy continued to decline and its reputation was ruined
According to reference news network reports, the senior researcher Francis Fushan, a senior researcher at the Freman -Spo Gley Institute of Stanford University, published an article on the website of the New York Times on January 5 that the American people's continuous decline of the reputation sweeping the ground.
On January 6, 2021, under the incitement of then President Trump, thugs attacked Congress and created the ominous precedent of American politics. Since the end of the civil war, the United States has never had the situation that the power cannot handle peacefully, and there is no president. Even if there is sufficient evidence to indicate the freedom of election, it still has objections to the election results.
This incident continued to cause response in the American politics, but its impact was not limited to domestic. It has also had a significant impact internationally, marking a significant decline in the global strength and influence of the United States.
Looking at the incident on January 6 last year, it needs to be placed under the background of a broader global crisis of "free democracy". According to the "World Freedom Report" published in 2021, democracy has been declining for 15 consecutive years, and some of the biggest setbacks have occurred in the United States and India.
The global "democracy" has declined, and the factors are intricate. Globalization and economic changes have left many people behind, and there are huge cultural gaps between professionals who have educated well -educated in the city and a small town residents with traditional values.
Therefore, the world is very different compared with the situation when the Soviet Union disintegrates about 30 years ago. At that time, I underestimated two key factors. First, it is difficult to create a "democracy", and it is also necessary to create a modern, fair, and honest country; second, the possibility of political decline in "advanced 'democratic' countries" appears.
The American model has declined for a while. Since the mid -1990s, the United States has increasingly differentiated politics and is prone to long -term stalemate, which has caused it to not fulfill basic government functions such as budgets. There are obvious problems in the United States system: the impact of money on politics, and the impact of the "democracy" selection system, but the United States seems to be unable to carry out self -reform. In the first twenty years of the 21st century, American decision makers led two disasters: the Iraq war and subprime crisis, and then a short -sighted instigator appeared to encourage the angry populist to make trouble.
On January 6, 2021, the Capitol Robe marks such a moment: A considerable number of Americans say that they are dissatisfied with the "democracy" system in the United States and use violence to achieve their own goals. The fact that made the "democracy" on January 6 that was particularly worrying was that the Republican Party not only did not refute those who launched and participated in the riots, but decorated the riots and washed from their own camps. People who are the truth.
Prior to January 6 last year, people regarded this trick as a "democratic" country that had just started and had not yet fully consolidated, and the United States would also greatly condemn this situation and condemn it. But this happens now in the United States. In terms of establishing a good "democracy" practice model, the United States has swept the United States.

Western media article: Biden is facing "a long American winter"
Western media article: Biden is facing "a long American winter"
An article published on the website of the Spanish bimonthly Foreign Policy said that Biden was facing "a long American winter". The author is the former Spanish Ambassador to NATO and the United States of America, Heime de Ohda. The full text is extracted as follows:
Winter has come, the trees have lost their leaves, and President Joe Biden's fantasy has also been shattered. For the United States, the prospects at both the international and domestic levels are bleak: the climate disaster causes serious consequences, the growing political and military threats from Russia in Europe, and the fierce competition from China in the East. At home, the United States faces a serious weakening of its political system.
Hawks in both parties condemned Biden's compromise with Russia. First, they hoped that Washington could intervene with decisive military assistance; Then they were convinced that Putin would yield if the United States threatened to intervene militarily. However, the opposition of the Republicans is not as loud as before, because they still remember the controversial relationship between Trump and Russia.
After the disastrous withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, all public opinion surveys show that the American community will never support new military intervention abroad, because such intervention may evolve into serious international conflict.
Putin is testing the strength and determination of his American and European rivals. Although various possibilities cannot be ruled out, now it is not so much a military invasion of Ukraine as an influence on the stability of Kiev's rule.
Biden's response was twofold: on the one hand, he threatened Russia with a set of economic and political sanctions available to the United States, and even blocked its access to the international financial system. Sanctions will seriously affect the Russian economy. On the other hand, the United States will have to find ways to defend the independence of Ukraine, and at the same time, it will have to pay attention not to completely provoke Russia.
The United States may suspend the further supply of weapons to Ukraine, but it will in no way guarantee that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO or the European Union. Perhaps the United States will negotiate a new agreement on strategic weapons and conventional military forces to ease the military concerns of the Russians.
