Another 12 days before  the inauguration - international experts on Capitol events

With 12 days to go until Joe Biden's inauguration, international experts predict that Trump will side with extremism after the Capitol events, while the Democrats' main objective is to win the support of Trump voters.

"I think a difficult period is beginning for Republicans. The goal of Donald Trump's behaviour is not to change the outcome of the election, but to maintain and develop a path of anger and protest against Washington. So the challenge for Republicans now is to maintain Trump's voters, but to do it without extremism and without Donald Trump, Trump will oppose it and side with extremism, while the other part will support a centre-right position, so there will be a lot of competition within the party, no doubt Vladimir Putin is very happy with what happened in the US. But that doesn't mean that he has  done it. Of course Russia is interfering in the US affairs, including in the electoral process, but that interference is not strong enough to have any impact," said diplomat Kurt Walker in a conversation with Mtavari Channel.

According to Matthew Brazil, Trump was able to manipulate people, but yesterday's events were accompanied by a good thing - Biden's announcement as US President.

"Since 1814, when the British army burned down the previous Capitol, nothing like this had ever happened in the United States, but that was different,  and now the aggressors themselves are American citizens. They think they are doing a good job for democracy and it is the fault of a bad education. They do not know what democracy is and how it works, Donald Trump is not really interested in the Republican Party and its future, he was able to manipulate people because he is a good communicator, Reagan was a good communicator, but he used it in a completely different direction, Hitler was a good communicator and used in the other direction, Donald Trump is the host of a TV show and real estate developer in New York, where the talent of intimidation and manipulation is very important to succeed, he was able to manipulate people when he became the President and now he tries the same thing again when he says elections are stolen. The question also has a good side, when the vandals were driven out of the Capitol, the Congress reconvened and Biden was proclaimed President of the United States, " says Matthew Bryza, Senior Analyst at the Atlantic Council of the United States.

According to US General Ben Hodges, what happened in Washington is hurting the US democracy. Hodges says the "Republican Party has lost touch with the real foundation."

"I'm really worried about what Trump might do in the next 13 days. He's a desperate man who has convinced himself that the election was rigged, so he may be committing  something even more insane," - says Hodges.
