MOSCOW, June 5. /TASS/. U.S. needs to stop interfering in other countries’ internal affairs and to change its own electoral legislation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with U.S. journalist Megyn Kelly, which the NBC aired on Sunday.
“The Constitution of the United States and the electoral legislation are structured in such a way that more electors can vote for a candidate who is backed by fewer voters,” Putin said. “And such situations do occur in the history of the United States.”
“Therefore, if we were to discuss some kind of political and social justice, then probably that electoral legislation needs to be changed and bring a situation where the head of state would be elected by direct secret ballot and so there will be direct tabulation of votes that can be easily monitored,” he said.
“That’s all there is to it,” Putin added. “And there will be no need for those who have lost the elections to point fingers and blame their troubles on anybody.”
“I will tell you something that you most likely know about,” he went on. “I don’t want to offend anyone, but the United States, everywhere, all over the world, is actively interfering in electoral campaigns in other countries.”
“Is this really news to you?” he asked Kelly.
“Therefore, if someone, and I am not saying that it’s us (we did not interfere), if anybody does influence in some way or attempts to influence or somehow participates in these processes, then the United States has nothing to be offended by,” Putin said. “Who is talking? Who is taking offense that we are interfering? You yourselves interfere all the time.”
Along with, he stressed once again the senselessness of interference in the U.S. electoral process.
“Presidents come and go, and even parties come to and away from power. But the main policy track does not change,” Putin said. “So by and large we don’t care who will be at the helm in the United States,” went on.
“We have a rough idea of what is going to happen,” he indicated. “And in this regard, even if we wanted to it wouldn’t make any sense for us to interfere.”
In addition to it, Putin voiced his profound conviction that “(…) no interference from the outside, in any country, even a small one, let alone in such a vast and great power as the United States, can influence the final outcome of the elections.”
“It is not possible, he said. “Ever.”.

I would think President Putin and Russia would stay as far away from the psycho American government and sicko American media as they could get. But I guess they have to at least try. Deep down Russians have a much higher love for the planet than most of the west does. In mainly conventional ways and means…
He is right about American interference in other countries. Ukraine coup to secure the Crimea, literally every country in Latin and South America, Vietnam, Korea, Cuba, Yugoslavia, Serbia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, a coup to install the Shah in Iran and that just names a few…
The USA has acknowledged spying on its vassal states of Great Britain, Germany and France. It’s actually amazing at the extent of US interference in the world at large. Maybe us Americans worrying about Russian interference in our election, can explain in reality about our interference in hundreds of elections all over the world. In fact, our interference in stable governments all over the world…
I say a prayer to God every morning I wake up that President Putin stays in power as long as the Russians will allow. He is the last man/country standing, keeping the insane US and its Vassals from prostrating the world…
China will have to be pushed until they have milked the sacred cow called America, but that day is coming and China will push back. China worships the dollar too much still. They will have to see that the dollar is no longer the means to their desires and then they will as we say, “Follow the Money!”
I never thought, in my past life, I would trust Russian news, Chinese news, Iranian news over American news, but that’s the verisimilitude we now face. And it is in our face and large and in charge…
America/USA/Land of the Free is so overwhelmed and utterly destroyed by the ongoing tsunami of lies, corruption, deceptions, fabrications, trickery , secrecy, manipulation, brainwashing and deep state interference, that it’s impossible to take them serious anymore. It is a well known joke in the world, “When an American opens their mouth? Lies flow unabated, even if these lies are unintentional…”
Americans simple do not know they are lying, they just repeat what their masters tell them 24h/7d/52w a year…
“We have a lot of Americans who visit us,” Putin continued. “Right now, I think we have representatives from a hundred American companies that have come to Russia. Do you think we’re gathering compromising information on all of them right now or something? Have you all lost your minds over there?”
It’s like Putin said, “Have you all lost your minds over there?”
Good thing Russians have patience!

Summer is a matter of perspective. If you have a winter where temperatures reach -30 to -40 several days in a row and the wind blows snow at 40 kilometers per hour during that time frame, you appreciate any form of summer that there is…
