YJC Exclusive:
US chaotic conditions and Donald Trump's reckless behavior lead US to the same status as the Soviet Union.
When USSR disintegrated in the beginning of the 1990s, it was not because of a war or other external pressure. Nor did it collapse under its own economic weight — arguably, this vast country had enough natural resources and cheap labor at its disposal to convert them into economic growth without market economy forces, at least for some extended period of time. The Soviet empire fell because the center let go of the periphery. The fall had started long before the actual disintegration, when fewer and fewer people genuinely believed in the Soviet ideology and raison d’être. But it took Mikhail Gorbachev, the last secretary general of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and his "perestroika” to bring these processes to a boiling point. Quick to recognize how corrupt the system was, Gorbachev embarked on his radical reforms.
"Donlad trump has little information about the world. The newcomer president thinks every thing can be solved by executive orders, so he will face difficulty running his country in future”, Javad Mansouri, EX- Iran's envoy in China, told YJC correspondent.
"US chaotic status has made its leaders to focus on foreign policy rather than the internal problems,” he noted.
"In the final years of Gorbachev administration, he claimed he had some complicated plans, called Prostorica and Glasnost, and introduced them as reform plans. He even replied to Imam Khomeini's letter and said "Communism is gaining strength and it would become the first world power". Although later he confessed he didn’t know about lots of things”, former Iranian diplomat stressed.
"Nowadays US situation is out of control and the reckless behavior of US administrations has made people so angry and dissatisfied, as shown in the intense wave of protests on Trump's inauguration day in this country”, Mansouri asserted.
"The internal conflicts are also on the rise in the US, and as the conflicts increase, so will the media censorship”, EX- Iran envoy said.
