what is the G8 meant to be. Countries on friendly terms with one another? Russia is inadmissable
is it meant to be the worlds leading economies? Russia is inadmissable. Russia is pondscum compared to China. and no one is barking about China being added to the G7/G8
The G7 is fast becoming Obsolete. too
It’s been the G6+1 for a while now.
Trump says and wants a lot of things.
It’s actually bonkers that America is advocating for Russia, wake the fuck up republicans stop being so bullish on Trump
It is not “bonkers”, Trump just follows Putins marching orders.
Trump is beholden to his party and the American people but nobody is holding him to account and the well regulated mallitias are nowhere to be seen
The poorly-regulated militias are currently cheering all of this on.
The “militias” never were a thing. The closest to that are rightwinger klans, that probably are working on either support the coup or return the US to the old ways where the preferred dress code for non-whites was loin cloth and chains…
How have republicans gone from cold war paranoia about Russia, to electing someone who is mouth open and eagerly awaiting Putin seed.
I’m not saying all Americans are thick as pig shit, but clearly ignorance and poor education is doing wonders.
From a nation to be admired to one for the purpose of ridicule.
Sad
Many of us see it clear as day. The dumb fucks just eat whatever bullshit is fed to them.
Many, but obviously not most. Or even a decent amount
Isn’t one of the criteriae of being a member of the G7 to have a well functioning economy?
the whole reason the G7 exists, is because Russia was expelled from its predecessor, the G8
There is no argument for readmitting Russia, because Russia is an economic pissant compared to China, The weaker members of the G7 like Italy and Canada still have larger economies than Russia, and there are other states who have a better argument for Russia’s old spot, like Australia or possibly India.
The G7/G8 was kind of like BRICS. it wasn’t a formal alliance, it was an amalgamation of friendly countries with leading economies. The G8 was Russia’s gateway to playing footsie with Western countries it shared zero common ground with. and only used it as a tool to try to loot and pillage. Russia is not a “Western” country, and it permanetley made that distinction in 2022.
So much for U.S. membership in that case…
What do you mean, stonks are looking mighty fine. /s
Pretty sure Musk goes between putin and chump. could be wrong, lol.
Good point…
But I see Muskovite more as the “attack dog” that Chump can send on his desired errands cause Muskovite can’t be impeached or otherwise held accountable.
If indicted, Chump will just pardon him. Free reign to upset the apple cart on Chump’s behalf.
I find it extremely dubious that Trump is the one running things.
For one thing, he can’t take calls from Putin without scrutiny where musk can.
For another, the dude’s lost his marbles.
“readmitted”? Russia never was a part of the G7.
Because it was G8. They changed the name to G7 after Russia got the boot.
No.
They need to kick the US out and make it the G6
US should just join BRICS
China doesn’t want the U.S. to stabilize. The U.S. joining BRICS would take away from Chinas power growth
Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6.
G7 is dying
Now G20 is the popular one!
G7 is a eurocentrist fascist club anyway.
-t Australia and New Zealand.
Putin’s puppy at it again.
Good thing Trump aint the one who decides…
Wow.
“G3.”
- America
“G1.”
- Trump
a normalization of world’s relations and an end to decades of hysteria would do us good
You do realize that Russia is still actively invading Ukraine right?
yeah i guess, and i’m sorry for it. but there’s nothing i can do about it. i’m just sickened that everybody - whenever there’s any problem - jumps to concluding that it’s “russian” influence, or somehow else indirectly a consequence of russian influence. it keeps people from reflecting. i definitely do not encourage authoritarian regimes, but i hate that people don’t reflect and stubbornly repeat narratives that they are being fed by TV and other news. considering russia a country and talking isn’t “supporting”, it’s being diplomatic, and honestly, the world could use waay more of that. i don’t see how that’s a bad stance to have, maybe you educate me?
My goodness, your post history… all doom and gloom about how the world is ending and there will be no more progress…
Except for this post.
Weird.
