    These economy fuckers are all obsessed with growth above all else. With that in mind I propose that the new G8 will only consist of the Top 8 highest growth economies in the world:

    Guyana - 43.8% Macao - 10.6% Niger - 9.9% Samoa - 9.7% Palau - 8.1% Georgia - 7.6% Rwanda - 7.0% Tajikistan - 6.8%

    The G7 is just a glorified club for economic posturing, pretending to uphold “democratic values” while conveniently ignoring their own hypocrisies. Re-admitting Russia after its blatant disregard for sovereignty in Crimea would only confirm that these alliances are transactional, not moral.

    Trump’s nostalgia for the G8 reeks of his obsession with strongmen and a complete disregard for geopolitical accountability. It’s not about “liking” or “not liking” Russia; it’s about setting a precedent that annexation and aggression won’t be rewarded with a seat at the table.

    If the G7 actually stood for anything beyond self-interest, this wouldn’t even be a discussion. But here we are—debating whether to invite the fox back into the henhouse.

  • Okay but a country will have to be dropped for it to remain a G7. Maybe the UK? I think they have dropped from the developed countries category. The G7 itself is outdated, they are no longer the top 7 economies.

        Libs can only pretend to support one minority group at a time, and the gays didn’t help them get elected this time 'round.

          Which one are they even supporting at the moment though. I dont think donors count as a minority.

        How is posting a picture of two men kissing considered homophobic? Wouldn’t being offended by it be homophobic?
