A TWO-DAY summit organized by Biden 'for democracy' is contrary to reality on several key points and may well be achieving political divisions in the world that can lead us closer to the precipice of military conflict and hostile populations.

First, it projects the US as a true advocate of democracy, which it is not in reality. The US has installed many of the world's most repressive dictatorships; uses assassination regularly; overthrows elected and popular governments in Central Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia; kidnaps journalists like Assange and hounds Snowden in foreign lands; and takes over accounts of nations and takes control of their resources.
