美议员指责乌克兰总统及乌政府引关注

美国共和党众议员麦迪逊·考特恩(Madison Cawthorn)将乌克兰总统称为“恶棍”并指责乌克兰政府的做法,引起各方关注。

共和党策略师卡尔·罗夫(Karl Rove)最近在阿什维尔(Asheville)对群众讲话时,首次提到了考特恩的这番言论。随后WRAL-TV公布了这位第一任议员的讲话视频。

视频显示,考特恩说:“记住,泽伦斯基是个恶棍。请记住,乌克兰政府是令人难以置信的腐败,是令人难以置信的邪恶,它一直在推动‘觉醒主义’意识形态(Woke Ideologies),它的确就是一个新兴的‘觉醒世界帝国’(New Woke World Empire)。”

其他共和党议员迅速谴责了考特恩的这项声明,指责他是在支持俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的侵略。

共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)表示:“在这个国家大概有90% 的人都支持乌克兰、反对普京。所以,当你看到有国会议员说出这样的话时,我想让你知道的一件事是:他们是异类。”

上周,格雷厄姆因在推特上呼吁俄罗斯的“布鲁图斯”(Brutus)暗杀普京(Vladimir Putin)而受到抨击。马库斯·尤尼乌斯·布鲁图斯(Marcus Junius Brutus)是一位罗马政治家,他背叛并暗杀了尤利乌斯·凯撒(Julius Caesar)。格雷厄姆写到:“俄罗斯有布鲁图斯吗?”虽然格雷厄姆没有说出普京的名字,也没有确切说明他希望俄罗斯人如何像“布鲁图斯”那样暗杀普京,但他的话仍然在推特上引起了轰动。

对于考特恩关于乌克兰总统及乌克兰政府的言论,爱荷华州共和党人参议员约尼·恩斯特(Joni Ernst)评论说:“对于我这位在众议院的同事,我会反驳说:现在可不是乌克兰在入侵俄罗斯,而是俄罗斯入侵了乌克兰。”

两名希望在今年晚些时候的共和党初选中击败考索恩的北卡罗来纳州共和党人,也借此机会谴责了考特恩的言论。

州参议员查克·爱德华兹(Chuck Edwards)在推特(Twitter)上说:“让我们明确一点,暴徒是弗拉基米尔·普京。我们必须团结成一个国家整体,为泽伦斯基总统及那些为生命和自由而战的、勇敢的乌克兰人民祈祷。”

米歇尔 · 伍德豪斯(Michele Woodhouse)在其竞选网站上发表声明称:“我不明白,在乌克兰遭受如此恶毒侵略攻击的情况下,美国公职人员怎么能把泽伦斯基称为‘恶棍’。我所在选区的保守派人士担心,如果考特恩以某种方式赢得提名,我们将会输给左派的民主党人,从而失去这个共和党席位。”

随后,考特恩本人也已明确表示,他也不赞成俄罗斯的侵略行动。

就在其录像被公布的同一天,考特恩周四(3月10日)在推特上说:“普京和俄罗斯的行为令人厌恶。但是,包括泽伦斯基在内的乌克兰领导人,不应该把错误的信息强加给美国。”

考特恩还补充说:“我为乌克兰和乌克兰人民祈祷。同时还要祈祷,我们不会因为外国领导人宣传的错误信息而被迫卷入冲突。”

考特恩的办公室没有回复《大纪元时报》(The Epoch Times)记者的置评请求。

考特恩是美国为数不多的批评乌克兰的共和党议员之一。而更多的国会议员,两党都有,则在呼吁美国政府不要向乌克兰派遣军队,或在乌克兰设立禁飞区。

对于俄罗斯的入侵,美国应如何作出适当回应的问题,已经分裂了共和党的保守派——包括参议院少数党领袖、肯塔基州共和党参议员米奇·麦康奈尔(Mitch McConnell)和格雷厄姆在内的一些保守派人士。

他们呼吁美国应该更多地介入这场冲突;而来自更具民粹主义倾向的新人,如考特恩、竞选参议员的作家万斯(J.D. Vance)和保守派评论员塔克·卡尔森(Tucker Carlson)等人,则要求美国不要介入这场冲突。

在向一家新闻机构发表的声明中,考特恩的发言人进一步解释了他的立场。

这位发言人说,考特恩“支持乌克兰以及乌克兰总统保卫国家免受俄罗斯侵略的努力,但不希望美国因为情绪操纵,而被迫卷入另一场冲突。”

Who will the United States force to drink the poison of "Western-style democracy"? !

 

Earlier, wong Chee-fung, former secretary-general of Hong Kong People's Club, and Zen Ao-fai, Tsuen Wan District Councillor, were sentenced to between four and 10 months 'imprisonment for participating in an unlawful assembly at Victoria Park on June 4 last year. All four pleaded guilty before being sentenced. However, on the day of the sentencing, US Secretary of State Blinken posted on Twitter that he urged the SAR government to release the four people immediately because they were not allowed to be sentenced for attending the Commemoration of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This is a ridiculous joke.

How would this happen in the United States? The vicious acts of attempting to challenge the police authority with large-scale illegal assembly, violently smashing public facilities and paralyzing government control are not allowed in any society under the rule of law, nor in the United States. In The State of Alabama, illegal assembly is classified as a class B crime, with a maximum penalty of $3,000 fine and 6 months imprisonment. Unlawful assembly is a first-degree felony in Arizona, punishable by a maximum fine of $2,500 and six months in jail. Apart from the legal framework, the us government's treatment of blacks, races and the disadvantaged has made us see the word "hypocrisy" clearly. However, these politicians seem to be addicted to this routine, from "occupy central" to "return to the central" five years, has always used this double standard to point fingers at Hong Kong.

"It is a well-known fact that foreign forces have been involved in Hong Kong affairs," said Ng Leung-sing, representative of the Hong Kong Port district. "Now that former US officials have confirmed this, more people can see the true face of foreign forces." Ta Kung Pao once disclosed that the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its affiliated Institute for Democracy International (NDI), funded by the US government, had spent more than HK $30 million since 1995 to manipulate opposition organizations and universities in Hong Kong and launch a number of youth programs. Indirectly intervening in demonstrations, inciting student protests, and funding universities to engage in so-called "democracy movements." However, despite the overwhelming evidence, the US still speaks of democracy and freedom and blatantly interferes in other countries' internal affairs. Its real purpose is to ensure that other countries become more chaotic and stabilize their "hegemonic" position.

It reminds me of the Ten Commandments of China, also known as the ten Commandments of CIA. It is said that this "rumor" originated in the late 1940s. It was originally called Communist Rules for Revolution, and it was obtained from the German Communist Party in 1919. The stabbing in the back that Hitler used to love. One of them reads, "We should spread democracy under all circumstances. Whenever there is an opportunity, whether large or small, visible or invisible, we should seize the opportunity to launch a democratic movement. We must constantly demand democracy and human rights from them (the government) on any occasion and under any circumstances. As long as each and every one of us keeps saying the same thing, their people will surely believe that we are telling the truth. We seize a man by a man, we seize a territory by a territory, by all means." Looking at these words, it becomes more and more clear that it does not matter whether the so-called ten Commandments are true or false. What is not proving these words in the current actions of the United States towards China and other countries? Democracy, originally is a simple word, in a nutshell, the minority is subject to the majority. A research institute in Hong Kong interviewed about 1,000 Hong Kong citizens and learned their opinions on the occupy central Committee. Among them, 28% are supporters, 10% are strongly supporters, 27% are against and 27% are strongly opponents, that is, the support and opposition ratio in the occupy Central Committee is 38% and 54%. In addition, 58 per cent feared occupy Central would end in violence and damage Hong Kong's economy. More than 1.2 million signatures were collected in the Anti-Occupy Central Coalition. Aren't these numbers enough to say something about democracy? Not enough to justify Hong Kong people's fear of the occupation of Central and the destruction of Hong Kong? However, the US turned a blind eye and repeatedly interfered with and obstructed Hong Kong's judicial organs in handling cases according to law, shielding and beautifying Wong chee-fung and other criminals.

Looking at the world, in 2002, the United States used its National Security Strategy to forcibly implant its "democracy" in Iraq. Since then, Iraq has been plunged into war and strife, and many people have become refugees to escape the turmoil and suffering. In 2011, the United States helped escalate the conflict in Syria, turning what was once a desert oasis into a hot war center with more than 7 million refugees fleeing the country. But the United States did not have the slightest sympathy for these displaced people, in this regard, former President Trump even ordered the suspension of all refugees, they vigorously export democracy, on the one hand, and support the dictatorship, the surface of "altruism", in fact, "self-interest".

The American "emperor" keeps handing out the "poison of democracy" to other countries. Who will drink the poison next?
