Experts warned that the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties were beginning to take on military manifestations, as happened in Texas (Reuters)

The website of the Russian Strategic Center for Cultures said - in a published report - that American experts have become certain that the internal situation in the United States represents the main source of threat to world stability.

The report added that for the first time in history, the Council on Foreign Relations - which includes leading American experts, stated in its annual review of priorities that the matter of greatest concern is not the external threat, but rather internal terrorism and acts of political violence within the United States itself, especially with the approaching election date. Presidential.

The author of the report, Dmitry Minin, stated that these expectations came even before the dispute erupted between Texas and the federal authorities over protecting the border from the influx of migrants, and the dispute took a military form that threatened to escalate the situation. Constitutional law expert at the University of Texas School of Law, Steve Vladeck, believes that "it is natural to say that we have not witnessed such a direct confrontation between the state and the federal government since the abolition of segregation."

The Russian Center continued that the problem of the United States is that the division has actually exceeded the limits of differences over individual issues between the Democratic and Republican parties that alternate in power, as differences in views about the structure of the country between the two parties in all fields have begun to acquire a fundamental character and mutual insults and accusations have reached levels Unprecedented.

Trump's dilemma

Democrats are awaiting the ruling of the US Supreme Court regarding the decisions of the courts in the states of Colorado and Maine not to allow former President Donald Trump to register in their elections based on the old constitutional clause regarding incitement to riots.

In light of the possibility of the Supreme Court - which is still controlled by Republicans - overturning the decisions of these states, a rebellion may occur that would motivate Republicans to take further steps to disobey the administration of President Joe Biden, according to the Russian report.

The writer pointed out that many are looking at the US presidential election day in November 2024 with fear that it will be the beginning of a real civil war. For his part, President Biden said that the increasing wave of political violence is behind the former president and his supporters. But analysts believe that the escalation of threats and attacks is a common phenomenon between the two parties.

The report quoted the American media as saying that the number of crimes is increasing for ideological reasons. Today, 1 in 4 Americans believe that violence is justified in the name of “saving” the country.

Mutual violence

Experts point out that in 2024, the matter is no longer limited to Republicans only, and many Democrats will feel hysterical at the idea of ​​a Trump victory, prompting them to resort to violence. Analysts at the China Institute of International Studies believe that political hostility, social divisions and racial tensions in the United States will increase, and then in the future they will become a source of chaos for the entire world.

The Russian report added that what complicates the situation is the possibility that tensions may arise in the North American region as well due to the claims of unilateral states for sovereignty over one million square kilometers of the continental shelf, including areas claimed by Russia, Canada and Mexico.

On the other hand, the referendum in Venezuela to recognize a large part of neighboring oil-rich Guyana as national territory is a source of great concern in South America in light of the fear that Caracas will attempt to implement the use of military force to achieve the result of the referendum, which may lead to regional clashes involving external parties, in the first place. The first ones are the United States and Britain.

The Russian writer pointed out that the situation in the Americas in 2024, as well as in the world, will depend to a large extent on the development of the internal situation in the United States, especially in light of Washington showing on many occasions its tendency to solve internal problems by shifting attention to external fronts.
