Obama: Poland and Hungary have become authoritarian democracies
TVN24 ^ | June 8, 2021 | Staff

Posted on 06/10/2021 11:57:18 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Former U.S. President Barack Obama in an interview for CNN's Anderson Cooper shared his thoughts, among other things, on the global crisis of democracy.

"All of us as citizens have to recognize that the path towards an undemocratic America is not gonna happen in just one bang. It happens in a series of steps" - said the former president.

"And when you look what's happened in places like Hungary and Poland, that obviously did not have the same democratic traditions as we did, they weren't as deeply rooted, and yet as recently as 10 years ago were functioning democracies, now essentially have become authoritarian" - he added.

To Anderson Cooper's remark that "democracy doesn't always die in military coup, democracy dies at the ballot box", he replied: "That's exactly right".

In Obummer’s world, Western nations holding to their sovereignty is a bad thing.

Poland and Hungry should be models for the rest of the world. They put their country first and defend their culture.

I like Poland and Hungary’s style of ‘authoritarian.’

He means countries that stand up for themselves, don’t buy into globalism and stand up & protect their Western history and culture.

Obama and Biden want to sell Poland, Hungary and Ukraine to Putin and the Russians, so they can be Communist again.

First the Nord Stream pipeline, then agreements to restart START and the IRBM treaties, to loosing sanctions on Russia, throwing Ukraine under the bus, and now this. Sure looks like Russian collusion with the Democrats to me.

Obama is still angry that the Soviet Union collapsed and that some Eastern European nations got out of the Soviet Bloc.
