The Unthinkable in the USA

Today we are witnessing a third world country's scene. A mob's member sitting at the Capitol Hill, probably at the office of a representative or a senator. Never we thought we could see a coup d'etat in the US, but it became real thanks to a president who doesn't want to accept the reality of a democratic election's result.

We don't think democracy was the winner in the november 3, 2020 elections. We thought the winner was sanity, between a mature former Vice President and a fully demonstrated inept president, who in some instances looks like governing a different country to the one he was elected to govern.

From his speech in the morning, he "called into action" his followers to prevent president elect Biden's confirmation as the real winner.

At the end of the day, the US is taking a pill of what had helped in different countries, like Chile (1973), and others, to organize coup d'etats to remove democratic elected presidents and impose puppets to follow their instructions. What we see unfold with our very eyes is the action of somebody who is acting like a puppet in favor of some darke interests, but not those of the american people.

What is next? We don't know, but if the situation is not brought under control very quickly, and the US is drawn into darkness, anarchy and violent riots all over the country, it could mean the fall of the US as the leader in democracy, civil rights, and many other values, which may disappear, real soon. Next to it, the economic fallout will be the next step, because US's lenders like China, and other countries, may demand immediate repayment of the huge amounts the US has borrowed to keep its economy afloat. When that happens, the world economy will go into a terrible spiral.
