Commentary of the Russian Embassy in the USA

We paid attention to the rabid statements by the American administration about the allegedly politically motivated decision of the Russian court that sentenced V. Kara-Murza to 25 years in prison.

Such statements are an open attempt to influence the independent judicial system of the Russian Federation . I would like to ask what verdict the local Themis would have issued if a US citizen was found guilty of treason, i.e. betrayal of the Motherland? What would be the reaction if an American would go, as if to work, to the parliament of a foreign state with accusations against the leadership of his country and take an active part in the development of illegitimate sanctions?

❗️The behavior of local authorities clearly shows the duplicity of Washington’s policy , which recalls democratic values only when it is expedient.

The selectivity of US actions is so obvious that even the American media are already paying attention to it. We recommend the local “advocates of democracy” to watch the film “Oh Canada” announced by the popular #FoxNews presenter T. Carlson , with illustrative examples of human rights violations by one of the main allies of the United States. Judging by the commercial, the documentary gives every reason to criticize 🇨🇦 Canadians and apply the notorious restrictions to them.

While appealing to freedom of speech abroad, shameful excesses in America itself are bashfully hushed up . For example, as in the situation with some politicians, who, after the so-called. The “capitol storm” was literally kicked out of social media under the pretext of “incitement to violence.”

❓How can the United States be a judge against the background of increasing police brutality , racial discrimination , hatred on religious and ethnic grounds? Maybe the ruling class should direct their irrepressible energy to resolving the humanitarian crisis on the border with Mexico , as a result of which thousands of immigrants, including children, are being held in inhuman conditions?

☝️ It’s time for the Washington elites to stop gross systematic interference in our internal affairs and take care of problems at home.
