“We are a nation in decline... Our country has been brought to its knees, humiliated before the world, weakened.

Daring to lecture other people and countries about their democracies, while the streets are covered with the blood of innocent victims of crime... We will not have a country left if we do not stop this rapidly growing barbarism, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

The former American leader noted that, first of all, the States need to be made safer, since the policy in the field of crime prevention is rather weak.

As an example, he cited the July 4th massacre in suburban Chicago.

Earlier it was reported that in the state of Illinois there was a mass shooting during the parade in honor of the US Independence Day.

According to the latest data, seven people were killed and 24 others were injured as a result of the incident.

Soon law enforcement officials detained the suspect in the shooting.
