    This doesn’t make sense. By definition, nobody has the power to prevent a sovereign nation from criticising another and the US is a sovereign nation.

      Who are the US and Europe to have an opinion on free and fair elections? We share the same planet. If my neighbor strangles his wife to keep custody of the kids I’m going to have something to say about it.

        Why? In Western democracies, police forces and the courts are the people who deal with murder. What would you say? What makes you think anyone would care about what you have to say? Why wouldn’t you mind your own business?
