  1. Drill baby drill, but undercut American oil producers in favor of Russia.

    Things that make you go “Hmmmm.”

  2. Orban is the Russian submarine within the EU.

    Trump is the Russian submarine within NATO and all other organizations that were meant to protect the civilized world from Russian barbarism.

    This is basically the endgame for western culture: In a civilized culture, being too tolerant is the end of tolerance.

  8. Well, if it wasn’t clear to anyone before, it should be now. The G7 is over, NATO is over, and Europe and Canada (and probably Japan and Australia and South Korea and New Zealand) need a new security model.

  9. It was worth a try to ask. I guess it’s the G6 now.

    Russia has spent a lot of time filling up the Democrats with a bunch of spineless wimps who can’t even stand up for an old man questioning the President’s lies. Republicans are paid to support Russia. Democrats are paid to support nobody.

    Europe can handle Russia, if we work together.

    But I’m sorry to say that peaceful protests aren’t going to cut it in the US with Musk and Trump in charge. Trump literally stated on live TV that he wished DOGE was moving faster.

  10. The G7 needs to put the US on probation and do its own thing until we fix our problems. I am ashamed of what we’ve become.

  11. Think this is the key line from the article:

    > US diplomats briefed their G7 counterparts that the move was because of Washington’s “re-evaluation of its position in multilateral organisations, rendering it unable to join any new initiatives”,

    We all know Trump only works in a unilateral fashion. His administration isn’t going to support any mass effort to do something.

    Obviously, sometimes, that will result in stuff like this happening.

  13. What the fuck is America doing? Like really they vote against anything that is against Russia? Are people blind? God we need to kick all ties with USA asap

  15. Art of the deal, give the bully everything they want while hanging the victim over the balcony.

  16. Ukraine has like 7 fake-gold TrumpKnives^(TM) in its back already, this is #8

  18. Trump is going to run for president of Russia instead of Putin!

  19. Cheap oil + gas from Russia for the freedom of Ukraine. This is what I said when D.Dumb met Putin for the first time. So we could say ‘Let there be a rUSiAn union’. Bloody m…f…s .

  20. America = ruzzia. Throw US out of G7 and create G6 is better.

  21. America’s veto means nothing at this point. Trump has declared himself an enemy of all past entreatis at this point.

  22. Canada needs to join the EU so we can be done with this orange turd.

  23. And why pray tell might the US veto such an eminently reasonable proposal?

  24. We need to drop the US from the G7 like we did with Russia from the G8

  26. And the rationale for it is also insane. They are vetoing the G7 proposal because they are reevaluating whether they want to be a part of the G7 anymore.

  27. Further proof that the Amerikan Government has been compromised and should be treated as such.

  29. Got banned for a week from here so will just say love live Ukraine .I will always support you .Now i must go find another place to show my support Slava Ukraini.Cannot risk a longer ban

  31. What happened to Trump’s sanctions on Russia

  32. Why the fuck is USA involved in any kind of talks with anyone when we all know they’re just working with Russia.

    This is like if the Allies consulted with Hitler during WW2, that’s how stupid this whole thing is. Kick them out already out of everything or at least ignore them.

  34. Remind me folks… exactly how much of a “negotiation tactic” is worth this much sacrifice of our position? Just so our president can say “Hey look, I stopped the war! Gimmie Nobel peace prize, please, because I’m totally better than that black presid… I mean Obama!”

    I’m unsure if Trump understands that Putin doesn’t give a flying fuck anymore and will demand to have the entire universe… and even then he still won’t sign any treaty in good faith.

    It’s clear he’s a “true believer” in all the shit he says. He’s not playing “4D chess” here… he really is this stupid.

  35. Time to make it the G6. He hates multi-country agreements anyway. Too confusing for him.
