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.

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.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.

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

LMAOAmazing ? 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.
I'm wondering what trumps thinking in regards to Russia. Is it just greed? Does he see Russia as an untapped source of exports?Amazing ? Yes.. perhaps very concerning.

Or does he think its a waste of money fighting all these proxy wars?
Is this the photograph that sums up the G7 summit?

He would already strung up if there was even a whiff of collusion.Empire building in relation to Trump towers and resorts in Russia after his Presidency I'd say.
Because your president is the one doing the pushing.
