Russia is very right. It was the media that created division in the US not Donald Trump.

The US system of voting just shows how stupid they are. It is better to be with your family and raise your children in another developed country other than the USA.

The worst is the power they give to the media.

fof1:


SO EVEN COMMUNIST RUSSIA IS HAVING MOUTH TO SPURN ON THE US ELECTORAL SYSTEM? U SEE WHAT DJTRUMP HAS CAUSED? IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE FOR AMERICA.

Russia, communist? Wonderment of 2021.

BuddhaPalm:


The US comprises different "countries" (kind of) which are in a Union.

Take the African Union for example, if the AU Leader is chosen in a "direct democracy vote" of all the member states' citizens, then the agenda of countries with large populations like Nigeria will always dominate.

The electoral college allows smaller states to have voice.

Says who?

You probably said this from your figment of imagination.

Electoral college is a representation fraction of the population and the larger states still have says.

Connecticut compromise was adopted to give the smaller states the chance in decision making so as not to be dominated by the larger states.

What you don’t know, don’t say sir

Idiot

Aldebaran:


What happened in the so called God's own country can never happen in advanced countries like Russia and China.

If this should happen in Nigeria, stupid Nigerians and American asslickers like "DJ SWITCH WITCH" will be shouting BUHARI is a Dictator.

vioment:
Without weapons and electricity, Russia is just a foolish and authoritarian shit hole country.


A big for nothing country.


On a good day, if my country's leaders were on point, we would be loaning them billions. And dashing them some, to use for survival.

If you aren't sure of something, best not to spout. Russia is the 6th Largest economy in the World by GDP (PPP Terms).

GofuckYourself:
My late grandma would say if you were born and meant to be a prince or princess even if threads of fate decided you would be a prince or princess even if God the father decided you would be a prince or princess and in life you choose by choice to hangout with touts, thugs and drug addicts my dear you will end up a junkie. Every seer you visit will tell you sir or madam I see in your star wealth blah blah blah and blah I see you are great I see this and that, but what they won't tell you is unfortunately your life choices has sent you to the gutter.

America choose to allow themselves to be mocked hence the result

Oh well

Prince of the junkies!
a prince is a prince nonetheless

Tolexander:
The electoral college system seems to be archaic. Let individual vote for whoever he feels like voting for and not having to be lobbed up to vote for who will deliver his will and intention

And in that case, Joe Biden still won and Donald Trump was not even supposed to be president in the first place.

Grace001:
See finishing...

Look at what Trump has rendered US to.

If it were to be an African country you’d see both American and French President dishing out threat messages

Shame on US

Chairman, in this case I don't speak with certainty and I don't know who can, but from my above averge research,

25% of their gdp is from bullying their neighbors with resources,

then 25% is from hacking various countries banks,

30% from selling weapons and using it to buy stakes in those countries,

then 10% or 15% is creative and services

then the rest is through protecting countries and maybe printing money.


A very useless place I tell you, with 24hr electricity and some technology.

Mysticwebb:


And Russia electoral system meets democratic standard?
Who set the so called standard?

Did Russia ever say they were democratic?..... or be the guardians of democracy?.... or spreading democracy by force?

Shut up Russia... your time is ticking!!!

Nuel4:
but Russia does not pretend to be the shiny city on the hill, the beacon of democracy and human civilisation. USA is just as corrupt as the rest of the world. Their citizens normally don't care because most of them are pretty much comfortable and white people don't really whine that much

U know america broke down the USSR so putin passion is to undermine USA as much as possible.

America does 100X more good than russia.

the only time u hear russia is time of war.

where they sell weapons -AK47 and co.

No.

It is shame on Trump!!!

nairaman66:
Shots fired! Trump just threw away everything America fought for the last 200 years!

Trump is working for putin to take America down from within but they failed woefully.

CNN!!!

Too much power given to the media: the consequence is inevitable.

dragunov:


If any country should criticize the US, its not Russia. Evem China is just looking. So the kind of corrupt oligarchy, the mafia style of governance in Russia is the best style abi. That one is democracy? One fool on this forum is even praising the syatem of government in Nigeria and China. Authoritarian and dictatorial governments.

Its paining them because the puppet they have installed is going out. Trump has wrecked a lot of damage on the US which in my opinion can never be reversed. The US as it was is gone. See the level of mass hacking achieved by Russia which was just recently discovered. All under Trump's watch. And Trump has tried to deflect it to China. Up till now, while everyone is saying its Russia, Trump has abstained from speaking against Russia.

I hope Russia and China will not strike before Jan 20th.

Russia and China strike where?

This looks like a beer parlour statement.

You made little points up until your last statement.

What you don’t know, don’t say sir

You guys are saying the same thing in different ways. The bottom line is the electoral college is for the benefit of the smaller states.

I didn't make an assertive statement if you care to read my last paragraph over again.

Alright. Noted.

This is like Nigeria preaching about corruption in another country

stanluiz:
He is right. What makes Russia relevant in the world politics is selling of oil and weapons. Russia is not an industrial country. It is not economic powerful or viable.

Russia is just overated. It is run by corrupt politicians and oligarchs just like Nigeria. Their economy is poor. Russia is one of the worst place to invest.

The list is endless. I can go on an on.

Russia is the 15th most industrialized country in the world...
with 2nd most powerful military in the world .. cus.. the strength of any country is the military..
US can't defeat Russia..in a face to face battle except it engages..it ally..

though it needs to step up in some area..

vioment:





They are big for nothing in the sense that they don't have economic swag like the Americans, Chinese, Europe, Canada, Japan, and others.


They just know how to build very mean destructive toys or know how to destroy people personally because of power.


No economic strategy from them, without intimidation or fear tactics.

Sorry, which country are you a citizen of? Wonders shall never end. Ti iya nla ba ngbeni san le, kekere naa a ma je ni.

valentineuwakwe:


Russia said Thursday that an “ archaic” US electoral system that does not meet democratic standards and the [b]politicisation of the media [/b]were to blame for American divisions and unrest in Washington .

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump was “ an internal US affair” but that blame rested with the US system .

“ The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meed modern democratic standards , creating opportunities for numerous violations , and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle, ” Zakharova told Russian news agencies .

“ This is largely the reason for the split in society now observed in the United States .”

https://punchng.com/us-electoral-system-does-not-meet-democratic-standards-russia/

Any political system that allows for unguarded balloting such as the massive mail-in ballot in 2020 US presidential election have itself to blame for electoral fraud. Only problem I have seen and agreed with the post is the politicization of media. It is very unfortunate that the so-called main media in US have become an integral part of Democrat Party. The so-called main media take delight in spewing fake news and perpetuating the division of the society through hype of “black and White” which do not exist. Besides, US electoral system remains the best and very practical in world.

Tokkson:


Alright. Noted.

But that is both country's overall ambition. The total breakdown of the US.

Biden is going to sworn in Jan 21.


Everybody knows Trump is not conventional president

and watch the disgrace that will happen when he steps down. he already has 2 court cases pending

He might end up in Jail but im sure he will not be sentenced.

Past US president no get immunity

Chaii...

America don cast.
E remain make Burundi Sef begin school Yankee politicians on how to run Elections

UncommonLogic:
The electoral system needs to be jettisoned. It's undemocratic in this day and age. It only serves the interest of the minority who have a hold on power.
True democracy should be one man one vote, none of these rubbish electoral and legislators electing the president. Why have an election when some idiots can decide whatever they want regardless of the election results.

Get rid of this trash.

In US, it is still and resolutely remains one man one vote. I guess many people do not understand the actual denotation of electoral college.

Russia is right.

ok

In Yoruba land there are two systems of inheritance in polygamous marriage

1. Ori o ju ori = all heads are equal


2. idi igi = tree root


In Yoruba tradition wives do not inherit husbands' property

1. all children are treated equally and have an equal inheritance . This means if a woman has more children her children inherit more

2. Property are shared equally among wives' offsprin. If one woman has 4 children they inherit the same as what the child of a woman with one child inherits


Which is archaic?

Dedetwo:

YOU do not understand. What does "one man one vote mean"?

It is possible to win the Presidency and not have a majority of the total votes cast nationally,

If a candidate wins 51% votes in one state and his opponent wins 49$ . He wins the state and the 49% does not count any more

If in another state he wins 0 and his opponent wins 100 his opponent wins the state.

So you can win an entire state by 10 votes and lose another state by 100000 votes
and still end of winning the presidency if the first state has more electoral college votes
