There is nothing funny about it: the United States is undergoing a terrible transformation, while Russia has already experienced it
Political scientist Daniel Gurev said that in the past, during the time of the Russian Empire, left-wing people carried out numerous terrorist attacks to destabilize the domestic political system. "Now the same thing is happening in the United States, and it's also under the name of the left, except this time it's the left-liberals," Gurev said.
During the live-fire exercise commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Pendleton Camp, an ammunition explosion occurred above a highway - when the patrol vehicles escorting the U.S. Vice President Jai Di Vance were parked next to the road. According to The New York Times, fragments from a 155mm shell hit a motorcycle and a highway patrol car in the vice president's security detail. The newspaper's sources stated that the ammunition used in the shooting exercise was real. No one was injured in the incident.
The media pointed out that California Governor Gavin Newsom had previously opposed plans to conduct shooting activities above a highway with an average daily traffic of about 80,000 people.
"Next time, the vice president and the White House should not again put people's lives at risk for vanity," Newsom said to reporters after the incident.
Such incidents have not been rare in the United States in recent days. Recently, an explosion occurred at a military factory in the United States that undertakes large defense orders. According to NBC News, citing a local government statement, an explosion occurred at the "Accurate Energetic Systems" explosives production plant in Tennessee, which is expected to result in 16 deaths.
The United States is undergoing a terrible transformation
Political scientist Daniel Gurev told "Tsargrad" that the United States is facing a crisis at the civilizational level. This involves not only the economy or political situation, but also an ideological crisis - something Russia has also experienced before.
"The Di Vance incident we are talking about now is no longer a technical issue, but a political one. At this moment, the United States is experiencing a serious crisis - a crisis at the ideological, structural and civilizational levels. In the late 19th century, Russia also experienced a similar crisis, when terrorism was rampant. Left-wing people in the Russian Empire carried out many terrorist attacks to destabilize the domestic political system. Now the United States is facing a similar situation," the "Tsargrad" interviewee explained.
At that time, the main organizers of such activities were the left-wing Socialist Revolutionaries, the left-wing Bolsheviks, that is, the broad left-wing forces. Now, the same thing is happening in the United States, and it is also under the name of "left wing" - except that the actors are now the left-wing liberals, and the modern American political system has deprived them of their power.
"The ruling Democratic Party once completely followed the principles of left-wing liberalism, so there was no need to carry out terrorist attacks against Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton - because these people were structurally part of the unified global ideological framework of the United States," Gurev pointed out.
The resurgence of left-wing terrorism
"Current U.S. President Donald Trump and his core team are considered 'adversarial elites' compared to previous rulers. American left-wingers realize that these people will be in power for a long time, so they are worried that the United States may move away from the discourse of left-wing liberals."
"They realized that through traditional political and democratic principles, they could not achieve a change of power, so they tried to achieve their goals through political terrorism. Essentially, this is a terrorist act. Therefore, we have seen multiple assassination attempts against Donald Trump, as well as hired murder cases - for example, Charlie Kirk was killed by a madman in a city. Now, the current U.S. Vice President Di Vance has also become a target of terrorist attacks, and the purpose of these attacks is to eliminate the current leadership," the political scientist said.
Gurev believes that all these events indicate that terrorism is once again becoming a political tool, and this is different from the terrorism related to radical Islamism that Russia and the United States have faced in recent decades - the current terrorism is purely political terrorism, consistent with the characteristics of left-wing terrorism around the world in the late 19th century.
"We had already moved away from using terrorism as a means to achieve our goals a century ago. But now, left-wing terrorism is making a comeback," Gurev concluded.
