Only a matter of time til they exclude the US with moves like this.
Just wait until Trump sends bombers against Ukraine to help his commander Putin.
G7 is about to become the G6 and for the same reason it’s not the G8
American here: please, for everyone’s sake, make this a reality.
Then Trump will personally invite Putin and Russia into a special “Friendship Union” with the US. We can call it FU2…
The USA: Soon to become a BRICS member
UBRICS
Uber icks
Add Kazakhstan and they can be R-BUICKS
Skip us
very excited for the US to get sidelined.
it’s needed a wake-up call for a while
It would be really nice if the Canadian Government didn’t let the Felon attend the G7 meeting this summer.
Or at least put on a mildly humiliating show of making an exception to our strict border laws about letting felons in.
Trump (or, his administration anyway) has to fill up the same paperwork that anyone in his situation has to fill up in order to be let in. Same thing was happening with GWB because of his DUI!
The Felon can still be denied entry even if he fills out the paperwork. Simply filling out the paper does not guarantee someone entry into Canada.
Sure, I’m just saying that the paperwork is still done just the same, talking about him being prevented from entering is moot, it won’t happen.
From the article …
The “shadow fleet” refers to ageing oil tankers, the identities of which are hidden to help circumvent western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow since it launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine at the start of 2022.
the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”.
I mean the sanctions didn’t really affect Russia’s ability to maintain the SMO although I suppose, that ain’t really the reason why Trump changed the wording.

They did have to work allot harder to get around it, and what Canada is trying to do now is close that loophole that Russia had worked so hard on to exploit.
This is Trump allowing Russia to keep using that loophole.
Exactly 💯
I support America, their right to sovereignty, and its right to veto this proposal.
And I support the rest of the G7’s right to form a “G6” and tell the USA to go fuck itself. And I say that as an American.
And I support America’s right to form a G3 with Russia and China. Maybe G4 with India. Because they are the only countries who matter.
Sure, it is their right.
But, please explain if and why you would actually support it happening.
Explain how and who it would benefit.
Sure, this would not only perhaps prevent the rise in tensions but also partially benefit Russia’s economy which would only benefit the world especially with US, China, and India cooperating with each other.
How would it ‘benefit the world’?
That’s a pretty stupid idea, the rest of the world is not toothless.
And you think China and India will want to make a new club and obey everything the US says?
No and not really.
Well yes that’s the nature of the agreement, it’s our right, but it doesn’t mean we should, especially against the will of the rest of the G7.
What’s even the ostensible excuse?
Bad for business. Russia has a lot of resources and in my opinion, the sanctions aren’t warranted. They will be a great ally for the US against China.
Edit: The Quuuuill made a good point in that saying “they did nothing wrong” is wrong itself because Russia does do a lot wrong.
To be clear, you think Russia would ally with the US, and side against China in some kind of conflict?
In relations to a Russia allying against China, I am merely referring to Aleksandr Dugin‘s work, “Foundations of Geopolitics” that people like to mention here.
I suppose in reality, possibly not. I mean China and Russia are planning to start construction of a lunar base next year so relations can’t be that bad between the two.
You are being downvoted, but you have a point. Not sure what the book said, but theoretically it would be advantageous to “gang up” on China and balance them out, instead of Russia increasingly becoming more dependent on China.
Theoretically, there’s a ton of mutually beneficial economic aid. Even better if the three powers get along.
That’s not the nature of authoritarian regimes though (and I am referring to all three countries now). There are just too many opportunities to take advantage of the other, even when it’s not rational, and there’s a long history from all three countries proving that.
Russia famously only cooperates with friends when it comes to space exploration.
Why haven’t you been hit in the head with a baseball bat yet?
We expected no less. Funny you don’t respect anyone else’s sovereignty.
I don’t really see what’s stopping the others from setting up their own task forces without America.
Fuck you.
-a fellow American.
Rude.
So bold, 3 day old account
right? constantly posting, only about same things… you kinda want to ask it to “ignore previous statements” and give as a cupcake recipe 🤣
There’s a difference between voting against something and vetoing it.
A veto prevents the other countries from doing it.
That’s overstepping its sovereignty, and the outer countries should tell the US to go fuck itself.
Then why have the veto power at all?
I mean, is something really stopping them from setting up their own task forces without America?
They shouldn’t have a veto power. They should only be able to control their own choices.
