Trump threatens to blow apart entire G7 to protect Putin
-
Agreed. We earned this. I hope we gain the world's trust again, but it'll most likely never be like it was...
-
I'm a US citizen. Please kick us out. The more countries that take concrete action against us that actually hurt us the more likely congress and the voters are to stand up to Trump.
-
By allowing our politicians a seat at the table you're opening yourself up to more harm.
Isolate us, make the voting public feel the consequences of their actions. Respond to tariffs with tariffs on red states. Sanction administration official of the inevitable human rights abuses that are coming. Call out the lies of our Government openly and with evidence.
This isn't going to change if there are never any consequences for the people who're doing this as well as their supporters. Revoke the visas of our oligarchs, limit their travel, stop doing business with their companies. Create incentives for educated Americans to immigrate to healthier democracies and ban our social media companies before they finish poisoning your country as well.

I mean, can’t we go back to the way that the Dems refused to see that Hillary was not popular, and how party leaders actively intervened to make sure that no one resembling an actual Dem (Bernie) got the nomination?
I think that’s really where the writing was on the wall - sabotage a popular candidate with the kind of populist support that we saw launch Trump into office, to platform someone who was probably one of the most hated women in America?
-
I don't think I am.
-
Got me feelin’ so fly, like a G6
-
If you can shoot Hitler in 1937, would you think it would be a bad idea?
-
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.
-
Precisely this. Once this trust has been lost and the 'G6' face a world where they cannot count on the US, geopolicies will change and the US will not be perceived trustworthy anytime soon. As it stands, it will be considered yet another global power with anti-democratic tendencies, policies that endanger world piece and disrupt the common pursuit for prosperity and is considered best kept in check.
-
Then you simply didn't understand, or are refusing to understand.
-
We don't want educated Americans emmigrating elsewhere. We want you to fix your shit and educated Americans are the only ones that can do that.
If you leave, the idiots are left in charge of some of the spiciest military hardware and without smart people, will probably end up using it.
The voting public seem to be pretty susceptible to whatever spin the Orange House puts on the consequences of their actions.
Do you really believe they'll see through what Trump does and blame themselves before blaming Canada, for example?
-
Maybe I don't? You seem to only want to shout at me than correct misunderstanding.
-
Have you uh... actually been to China? Or talked to anyone from China (in real life)? I do both, quite often. Without fail, anyone with the means is actively trying to leave. And not in a "grass is greener" way. Those emigrating to America are fully aware of the political turmoil, they'd just rather be out before it's not physically possible to leave.
It's unlike we've been told in almost all respects...
Based on testimony from a demonstrably censored platform?
I'm not arguing for American superiority or that the vacuum won't be easily filled by other countries. But that change isn't automatically an upgrade.
-
Seems like you understand it just fine then.
-
G8 expelled Russia for the original Ukrainian invasion in 2014. If need be, I suppose they can become G6. Or honestly, in this day and age, there are many more nations whose opinions should be considered. G7 is pretty eurocentric and I say this as an European (though not a citizen of any of the 7)
-
Have you uh… actually been to China?
Yes. Almost a dozen times.
Or talked to anyone from China (in real life)?
Yes.
Without fail, anyone with the means is actively trying to leave.
Have you thought about why? Ask them to describe the US. They've been told an astonishing amount of propaganda about the US that is all incredibly untrue. I'm telling you. Actually talk to these people that you're "in contact" with about how they view the US. They believe that every US Citizen is a millionaire. They think we have good healthcare. They think we all live in great houses. They think we all work a few hours a week and get paid a lot for it... It's never ending. So I mean, yeah. If you get told there are places like that in the world of course you would want to leave your home country.
-
Replace the US with China
-
I've always wondered why so many people peacefully marched into the trains, trucks, and death camps, then I see the sheer amount of people like you who say that and remember why. Maybe it's a personality thing, some of us who are faced with annihalation vs annihalation with a fight, we choose the latter. Most people will just take annihalation peacefully out of fear or laziness.
-
Nah, the Democrats did that.
-
Could you kill baby Hitler?
