International Condemnation from World leaders shows a lack of faith in US democracy after capitol attack.

After the storming of the capitol building in D.C many world leaders took the time to express their condolences and condemn the attack. However, many took it as an opportunity to criticize the alleged democratic role model of the world and outgoing president Donald Trump.

Figures throughout the middle east and Asia have mixed reactions telling of their international affairs with the USA. Notably China who have a currently troubled relationship with the US accusing them of being hypocritical and the Chinese state-controlled media called it “Karma” for the US response to protestors in Hong Kong.

However Chinese politicians did state they wish for “safety and stability in the US”

Iran took the Chinese attitude a step further by mocking the United states with the Ayatollah saying “This is their democracy this is their election fiasco. Today the US and American values are ridiculed by even their friends”

The president of Iran took a softer approach blaming Trump calling him a “sick man” and criticizing the fragile nature of “their democracy.”

Many western figures and close allies of the United States had a consistent response expressing concern over the incident agreeing it was an outrageous assault on democracy.

The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his heads urged for a peaceful transfer of power and “unreservedly” condemned Trump for the role he played in encouraging the riot.

First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon said she “stands in solidarity with those on the side of democracy in the US.”.

The majority of the EU were in unison with a condemning response but standing with America through the touch time and wishing them strength into the transition of power.
