Summary
Trump is pushing for softer language on Russia’s war in Ukraine, straining G7 unity.
Officials say the U.S. is blocking references to “Russian aggression” and prefers calling it the “Ukraine conflict.”
This shift follows Trump’s peace talks with Putin that excluded Ukraine’s President Zelensky, whom Trump later called a “dictator.”
The change in rhetoric contrasts with Biden-era support for Ukraine and threatens a unified G7 stance.
Do what they did to Russia, kick the US the fuck out and start calling it the G6. It was the G8 from 1997 to 2014, they can stand to lose another.
The US is literally trying to kickstart an economic depression in the US. Why the fuck would you want these guys in economics talks when they clearly understand FUCK ALL about economics? A US depression will fuck up the rest of the world’s economics as well, and that’s clearly the long-term goal.
American here: make it the G6. I am 100% serious. Trump is not your friend, and the rest of our fucking government is demonstrably inept in the extreme in terms of resisting this fascist takeover.
Amen. Also American. Cut America off. Do not stand for this stupidity. If American voters regain their minds in 2 or 4 years, we can all figure out how to move on. If not, America doesn’t deserve your grace and goodwill when it’s showing none. Ostracize us for the good of the world.
Fucking clown.
Another American here. Yeah, we’re not Europe’s friend anymore. I hate it, but it’s true. Dear Leader has made it abundantly clear that unless you are somehow enriching him and/or his billionaire cabinet, he’s not interested in being your friend. You can hold up as many past agreements and treaties his predecessors signed and it won’t mean jack shit to him. Putin is his daddy because Putin loves oligarchs, and wants to be an oligarch sooooooo bad.
It’s going to end up that way whether EU does something now or not. He’ll just pick up his ball and leave like he’s done every time so far.
Yes, PLEASE! The rich fucks need to start feeling the consequences of this bullshit where it hurts. It’s the only domestic demographic that can offer enough pressure to motivate this administration to change their behavior.
This just in, the known russian puppet, trump, is a russian puppet.
G6 it is then. After NATOTWO is set up
Art class for the bourgeoisies, lab rats for the cat.
Real estate moguls, Chump Towers,
When the wind blows you can hear the windows go rat a tat rat a tat tat tat.Jimmy Hoffa in the Meadowlands, weighing down that union man.
Grab his ankles, stevedores,
Oh how those Jets do roar.
Kick us out, Trump is not in the G7 to do anything but fuck it up. Being a self interested stakeholder is normal but he’s not self interested. He is clearly under Putin’s influence.
But I couldn’t vote for Harris because that was a vote for genocide.
Coming from a country with ranked voting and more than 2 parties, this looks so ridiculous. It’s like the USA electoral system is designed to make people bicker amongst themselves about who is the lesser evil, while oligarchs take control.
Veritasium, on yt ( not a guy I recommend frequently ) has a vid on election-systems.
Approval-disapproval seems to be the sanest electing-system there is…
All the ranked-choice-systems logically have problems, though no-where near as bad as 1st-past-the-post idiocy.
Please, people, if you’re interested in the sanest voting-system possible, watch that video, & then organize to replace your system with the currently-best-option, which seems, from that vid, to be the approval/disapproval system.
( it makes the most-approved person win, and one can approve-of multiple different candidates, so the majority-of-voters get heard, no-matter-what, see? )

Seems like you understand it just fine then.
What style of ranked voting does your country use?
Yeah that was some really really stupid shit people were saying.
In maybe the most important race of this country’s history, Harris couldn’t bring herself to denounce genocide and war crimes like a decent human being and instead chose to support a corrupt, fascist foreign nation that more closely resembles Nazi Germany than another country today.
Party loyalists tut-tut at the voters and learn exactly nothing, yet again.
Party loyalists tut-tut at the voters and learn exactly nothing, yet again.
The non-voters voted in Trump who is trying to be more fascist and corrupt than the other country you’re alluding to.
I’d love to ask all of the MAGA heads to just question themselves this: Why go through all of this just to help Putin. Some fucked up shit must go on that Trump risks all of this just for Putin.
Blow it apart. America doesn’t belong with its former Allies.
Its clear that America has no interest in being apart of the free world, they checked out.
Now fuck off and go destroy yourselves in a frenzy over transgender bathroom doors and eggs. The rest of us still have lives to live and futures to protect.
So making peace with russia is destroying the free world, but letting Ukraine and russia have a forever war isn’t?
What kind of dumb ass uninformed comment is this. We all want the war to end. But with freedom, not more oppression
Right?
Russia could end the war it started right now. And leave. It chooses not to.
He was giving us the approved view from St. Petersburg.
Appeasement doesn’t work. We know that from WWII.

Ukraine conflict: ‘Russian soldiers raped me and killed my husband’
Rape has become a weapon in Ukraine. Finding justice may be difficult
Suppose it depends which propaganda machine you listen to.
Real people in Ukraine telling their actual first hand account stories of what Russian soldiers did is not a ‘propaganda machine’.
Reality doesn’t care about what people are saying. It matters what people are doing. The people who suffered and died because of Hitler and Putin are all real people who were real victims.
You make pretty words and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Just be glad you don’t live in Ukraine as National Public Radio has some grim first hand stories as to what Putin’s invasion was like for civilians.
https://www.npr.org/2022/04/30/1093339262/ukraine-russia-rape-war-crimes
[Accounts of alleged sexual violence coming out of Ukraine in recent weeks have been grim. A woman raped repeatedly by a Russian soldier after her husband was killed outside Kyiv. A mother of four gang raped by Russian soldiers in Kherson. The body of a Ukrainian woman found dead — naked and branded with a swastika. A woman raped by a Russian commander on the day tanks entered the village of Kalyta.
The number of reports that have emerged since the start of the war in late February suggests that rape in Ukraine at the hands of Russian soldiers may be widespread…]
You would suck your abusive boyfriend’s dick with one black eye because you’d be stupid enough to believe him when tells you that if you do, he wouldn’t give you a second.

Yes, because appeasing an agressor only begats more aggression.
Ah so its that simple, got it.
Damn the bullies in your school had a field day with you, didn’t they? They can take your milk and you would offer them your lunch too. Because conflict is bad. Surprise, sometimes violence is actually the answer. Whether we like it or not.
Well only one of us is getting upset and jumping to conclusions here.

Of course letting a dictator invade and annex a democratic neighbour is a step in destroying the free world, you absolute muppet.
Giving Russia everything they want and not negotiating with Ukraine is destroying the free world.
Got me feelin’ so fly, like a G6
Someone take that orange fuck out, please.
Biggest disappointment in the last year was that dufus missing his big fat head from only 150yds.
2". That’s all we needed. Even small hands Trump knows what two inches looks like, it’s basically nothing. So damn close.
Will nobody rid us of this turbulent golfer?
You are better than that. Don’t stoop to their level or you become like them.
If you can shoot Hitler in 1937, would you think it would be a bad idea?
They should kick him out when he shows up for that threat
The fuck is G7 anyway, but the face of global capitalism?
Just doublechecking my premises, there’s this from Investopedia:
The Group of Seven is an intergovernmental organization made up of the world’s largest developed economies: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Government leaders of these countries meet periodically to address international economic and monetary issues, with each member taking over the presidency on a rotating basis…
Yeah, fuck 'em, but all is forgiven if G7 has the balls to expel America.
Let Trump and Putin have a G1.5. Do it. Make him look like a Russian stooge.
What do you mean “look like”?
That’s some “are we the commies now” moment. Not really unexpected, but so much more blatent than I expected. It has all the subtlety and nuance of a wrecking ball covered with napalm hitting a fireworks warehouse.
Party-fascism & individual-faschism are both fundamentally the same, in their hatred-of-civil-rights, hatred-of-accountability, hatred-of-integrity, hatred-of-responsibility, etc…
The CCP’s as fascist with China as Putin is with Russia: it’s just individual-vs-group fascism, no other difference, fundamentally…
