Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

I never bought that story about the Russians being responsible for the "poisoning" of former spy Segei Skripal and his daughter. There is no evidence whatsoever that Russia was responsible.

If the Russians were responsible, it looks like they did it. If they were not responsible for it, it still looks like they did it. Putin can't win either way.

Even the Germans are having second thoughts about the knee jerk reaction to expell all Russian diplomats.

Yea, I also heard that the nurse who attend to the Skirpals said they were not instructed to wear anything more protective than the usual medical gears.

Of course that's not to say that Russia doesn't do assassination and such. All countries do that kind of stuff don't they? I mean, that doesn't make it right and we're not excusing it... Just that, pot calling kettle black right?

The Russians have been killing off people who leave who are anti-Putin for very many years. If you kill scores of people don't get upset if you're blamed for one you didn't do.

Amazing end to the G7 meeting with Trump storming off.

Although he's right on tariffs, his apparent movement towards Russia and away from traditional democratic allies may have a lot of people saying "whose side is he really on", and whether he can be trusted in military/intelligence information transfers.

G7 are hypocritical sponges. Military aid and ploughing goods into the US. While they themselves put up tariffs on US goods. Whats Canadas exports to the US, like 75% or something. They sure the want to get in a trade war.

As for Russia it would be interesting to see what motives trump has for them.

The last time Canada tried to play this game didn't work out so well for Canada

Amazing ? Yes.. perhaps very concerning.
With regard to "whose side is he really on " ? Perhaps he is the original Manchurian/Siberian Candidate ?

I'm wondering how the rest of the "free " world responds to Trumps bullying determination to recast the world in Trumps favour (I don't think it will be in the US best interests by any means.)

Perhaps we will see the rise of The Trump Internationale. It could be right wing nationalist groups coming together in various European countries to oppose current democratic governments and offering homage to Trump as their inspirer. It will be interesting to see the response of the Italian and Austrian far right parties to the G7 outcome. We already know the Polish and Hungarian authoritarian governments are Trump supporters in principle.

Is this the photograph that sums up the G7 summit?

LMAO

You obviously missed the point that these governments are in power *via* the democratic process, precisely because the globalists are ignoring the will of the majority, ie antidemocratic.

I'm wondering what trumps thinking in regards to Russia. Is it just greed? Does he see Russia as an untapped source of exports?
Or does he think its a waste of money fighting all these proxy wars?

Empire building in relation to Trump towers and resorts in Russia after his Presidency I'd say.

That's the image I tried to post. Its a very interesting picture. Trump openly stubborn and defiant, Merkel, May and others almost standing over him. Very interesting.

He would already strung up if there was even a whiff of collusion.

One analysis of Donald Trumps Russian interests.

“Set aside Putin and follow the money”: a Russia expert’s theory of the Trump scandal
Why the collusion story begins with money, not politics.

“To understand the roots of the collusion, set aside Putin and follow the money.”

That’s what Seva Gunitsky, a politics professor at the University of Toronto and the author of Aftershocks, told me in a September interview. I reached out to Gunitsky after he posted a short but incisive thread on Twitter about the financial roots of the Trump-Russia collusion case.

Gunitsky, who was raised in Russia, has followed the evolving relationship between Donald Trump and Russia for more than a decade. He says the prevailing narrative about Putin interfering in the American election in order to undermine democracy is wildly overstated.

Putin is happy to sow confusion and distrust in America’s system, of course, but to assume that’s the basis of this operation is to overlook a much simpler motive: money.

I can't see how this summit is going to achieve anything. Kim isn't going to give up his Nukes so all I can think is Trump is hoping to build rapport with Kim so NK doesn't view the U.S. as an enemy/target.
