Republic of Palau and FSM condemn pro-Trump riot at U.S. Capitol
The Republic of Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia are condemning the riots that took place at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday.
Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, delaying the certification of the presidential election by Congress.
Thousands of rioters gathered at the National Mall to protest the election results. At a campaign-style rally about an hour before the mob broke through police lines at the Capitol, Trump had urged them to go to the building.
A Palau flag can be seen in a video being shared on social media from the riot at the Capitol building.
DC updates: 4 dead, 52 arrested, 14 police officers injured
Palau condemns use of flag
Hersey Kyota, ambassador of Palau to the U.S., condemned the use of the Palau flag at the event.
FSM President David Panuelo in a letter said the people of the FSM woke up to watch in horror as President Donald Trump openly solicited acts of domestic terrorism against the people and government of the U.S.
"At the time of this writing, the people of Micronesia have witnessed the U.S. president reject democracy and democratic principles, and endorse fascism, by openly calling on his supporters to overthrow the will of the American public and the democratic process, resulting in domestic terrorists entering the chambers and offices of U.S. senators and members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the death of at least one innocent person," he wrote
Panuelo said the government and people of the FSM are the most ardent supporters of American values and politics. Micronesia's democracy is based in large part on the American form of governance and Micronesians believe in democracy and upholding democratic institutions, which was taught by American partners, he wrote
The FSM denounces the actions of Trump and his supporters, which the nation recognizes as undemocratic, violent and entirely contrary to the spirit of American concepts of liberty, Panuelo wrote.
"The people and government of the Federated States of Micronesia is a remarkably close friend of the people and government of the United States of America. ... But friends have an obligation to look their friends in the eye and tell them when something is wrong, and when their behavior is unacceptable. What President Trump is doing is wrong, and what his supporters are doing is wrong. These behaviors are unacceptable," he wrote.
The FSM stands with the U.S., Panuelo wrote.

In actuality people of Micronesia are joining the rest of the world to laugh at The world's greatest laughing stock.We don't have to denounce it.Majority of people back home do not care.
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY DIED LONG AGO.
•Marshall Islands took every major power that possesses nuclear weaponry to court.
•We spoke at the UN warning the world of the destruction climate change will have on us all for many years to come.Microensia is amonsts many to face this threat head on.
•Darlene Keju was regarded as Microensia's greatest activist.She was well known for her speech to show the world America's dark nuclear past in RMI
•Ancient marshallese raided fsm before colonizers out of desperate search for resources as our islands had little to distribute around.We conquered you guys.
•It took 300 years for Marshallese to finally kneel before western colonialism and Christianity.
(I WOULDNT CALL MARSHALL ISLANDS THE WEAKEST IN THE REGION IF I WERE YOU GRAMPS.)
Also, Palau has invited the U.S. to establish a military installation on their soil.
A few years ago, as I understand it, logistical support responsibility for base operations at Kwajalein was shifted from the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) to the Army's Installation Management Command (INCOM).
It was an internal Army administrative decision that did not seem to significantly change the mission or the operations on Kwaj.
