A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

what is the G8 meant to be. Countries on friendly terms with one another? Russia is inadmissable
is it meant to be the worlds leading economies? Russia is inadmissable. Russia is pondscum compared to China. and no one is barking about China being added to the G7/G8
The G7 is fast becoming Obsolete. too
It's been the G6+1 for a while now.
Trump says and wants a lot of things.
It's actually bonkers that America is advocating for Russia, wake the fuck up republicans stop being so bullish on Trump
It is not "bonkers", Trump just follows Putins marching orders.
Trump is beholden to his party and the American people but nobody is holding him to account and the well regulated mallitias are nowhere to be seen
The poorly-regulated militias are currently cheering all of this on.
The "militias" never were a thing. The closest to that are rightwinger klans, that probably are working on either support the coup or return the US to the old ways where the preferred dress code for non-whites was loin cloth and chains...
How have republicans gone from cold war paranoia about Russia, to electing someone who is mouth open and eagerly awaiting Putin seed.
I'm not saying all Americans are thick as pig shit, but clearly ignorance and poor education is doing wonders.
From a nation to be admired to one for the purpose of ridicule.
Sad
Many of us see it clear as day. The dumb fucks just eat whatever bullshit is fed to them.
Many, but obviously not most. Or even a decent amount
Isn't one of the criteriae of being a member of the G7 to have a well functioning economy?
the whole reason the G7 exists, is because Russia was expelled from its predecessor, the G8
There is no argument for readmitting Russia, because Russia is an economic pissant compared to China, The weaker members of the G7 like Italy and Canada still have larger economies than Russia, and there are other states who have a better argument for Russia's old spot, like Australia or possibly India.
The G7/G8 was kind of like BRICS. it wasn't a formal alliance, it was an amalgamation of friendly countries with leading economies. The G8 was Russia's gateway to playing footsie with Western countries it shared zero common ground with. and only used it as a tool to try to loot and pillage. Russia is not a "Western" country, and it permanetley made that distinction in 2022.
So much for U.S. membership in that case...
What do you mean, stonks are looking mighty fine. /s
Pretty sure Musk goes between putin and chump. could be wrong, lol.
Good point...
But I see Muskovite more as the "attack dog" that Chump can send on his desired errands cause Muskovite can't be impeached or otherwise held accountable.
If indicted, Chump will just pardon him. Free reign to upset the apple cart on Chump's behalf.
I find it extremely dubious that Trump is the one running things.
For one thing, he can’t take calls from Putin without scrutiny where musk can.
For another, the dude’s lost his marbles.
"readmitted"? Russia never was a part of the G7.
Because it was G8. They changed the name to G7 after Russia got the boot.
No.
They need to kick the US out and make it the G6
US should just join BRICS
China doesn't want the U.S. to stabilize. The U.S. joining BRICS would take away from Chinas power growth
Now I'm feelin so fly like a G6.
G7 is dying
Now G20 is the popular one!
G7 is a eurocentrist fascist club anyway.
-t Australia and New Zealand.
Putin’s puppy at it again.
Good thing Trump aint the one who decides...
Wow.
“G3.”
- America
"G1."
- Trump
