sapientia:
They are just being careful.

Not as if anything will happen.

They will do it if Trump concedes or on 14th Dec after the electoral college have voted.

Not a problem.
What were all those values that the media was showing then, if electoral college hasn't voted yet?

Other leaders are wiser.

My mind tells me Trump is trying to expose something in Washington DC.


Biden or Trump, any leader that emerged is oK for me.

In another news, The Kremlin has said that Vladimer Putin will not congratulate Joe Biden until all legal processes have been exhausted and an official announcement has been made by the relevant authorities in America that he has won the presidential election.

An announcement by CNN, FOX News, Al Jazeera, BBC and all the other television and media outlets in the world is NOT good enough for them.

I commend the Russians who have decided to tread the path of caution in view of the circumstances under which Biden has emerged.

This is how foreign Governments are meant to react to the unfolding and increasingly unsavoury events in America.

Shame on ALL ill-motive driven foreign leaders who have congratulated Biden on winning an election in which only the media has declared him as winner.

Kudos to Russia, China, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, Hungary, Iran, North Korea and a number of others for refusing to do so.

I am disappointed with the premature congratulatory messages offered to Biden by the UK, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, Pakistan, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, South Korea, Japan and a number of other countries.

I am dumbfounded by some Nigerian leaders who have also congratulated Biden including Muhammadu Buhari, Olusegun Obasano, Goodluck Jonathan, Abubakar Atiku, Bukola Saraki, Peter Obi and countless others.

This unnecessary fawning and belittling expression of love and support for their preffered candidate could at least have waited until the matter has been properly concluded.

If Donald Trump eventually prevails and he is sworn in on January 20th for a second term there are going to be a lot of very red faces on the world stage.

Whether anyone wishes to accept it or not, the fact of the matter is that the election results have NOT been confirmed and the Electoral College has NOT formally met and declared the outcome.

To add to that there are serious and credible claims of fraud, cheating, perfidy, voter suppression and election irregularities which the courts are yet to look into and clearly there is still a long way to go before the whole matter is brought to an end and formally concluded.

Congratulating the candidate of a political party that may well have ruthlessly and corruptly rigged his way to what is likely to end up being a pyrrhic and shortlived "victory" is not in our nation's interest, is not the way to enhance, strengthen, support and entrench democracy and does not speak well of those who have done so.

Whether you support Biden or Trump, let us at least wait for the matter to be properly concluded and a winner officially declared by the relevant authorities before we start dishing out our congratulatory messages like confetti at a white wedding.

Anything less is inappropiate, irresponsible, unbecoming, embarrassing and utterly slavish.

There is currently bad blood between USA and all these counties mentioned, so their slowing to congratulate Biden is understandable. In fact, Russia, China and North Korea's preferred candidate is Trump, they know Trump cannot lead the world, so he gives them a vacuum to take the lead from USA.

Congratulations letter on the way too, from our very own Gen. Bubu

Australia, Canada, Ireland, UK etc. have also congratulated the winner and moved on, are they also lifeless as well? Even your PDP, Atiku, and Obasanjo have also congratulated him. Better save yourself from hatred.

Which electoral college again na?
dont mind that guy. Let me explain it to u.
US presidential elections are won by winners of the electoral college though. Depends on how many members the state has in the US congress, which is about population of the state. Who wins at least 270 electoral college wins.
But the electors must vote by winner of the election in the state. Example if california has 50 electoral college votes and biden wins the state, those guys must give the 50 votes to biden, else they will be punished by imprisonment.
So dont mind story. Biden has gotten more 270 votes. The electoral college will just rectify it.

The Media declared Biden winner on Saturday, today being Monday two companies released their corona virus vaccines and said it's over 90% effective. Also today Monday, Biden released statement saying he will start by the vaccine and making sure everybody gets it free if charge.

Question: Why haven't the vaccines been released a long ago before the election?

Why does he have to start from the vaccine if he doesn't have an old plan and motive?

Why is he emphasising on global leadership and cooperation to tackle the virus?

What does he mean by scientific approach to administering the vaccine?

Why is he and his globalist mafians doing everything to kill and destroy the world?

Fake News! So you think that Joe Biden goes to bed at night worrying that fascist countries like Gina, Russia, North Korea, Turkey, and bankrupt countries like Mexico and Brazil are yet to congratulate him?

The president-elect has already received congratulations from all the relevant countries: Germany, Japan, Canada, UK, Australia, Israel, India, France, etc. etc. And most importantly, he has been celebrated by the American people!

O pari

These countries/leaders that are yet to congratulate a DEMOCRATIC PARTY winner should not be surprising though.

It stands to reason that any nation that was never in good terms with Trump (especially the EU bloc as well as NATO members) will be very happy to see him gone.

However, this does not mean that countries that are yet to send congratulations to Biden are big fans of Trump either.

What difference does it makes, even if they didn't congratulate him after sworn in.

The point is we are having a new POTUS

I wonder

Would their congratulations send Corona virus away. ?

America is losing there ground at world stage. China and Russia knew that Biden/Harris are too weak for them to handle. China may emerge as world power soon.

Maybe you might be wrong, there's what is called diplomacy in politics which the incumbent lacks.
Obama,Bush and other formal occupiers of white house are still alive, they make input from time to time which will be invaluable to the incoming president too.

I think Biden is just naturally quiet but not weak and very vast in world politics unlike the incumbent, the world has moved forward from brute force approach to governance and politics.

Its about ideology and ability to bring even your enemies to agree with you on some decisions.

My little opinion
