Summary

Trump is pushing for softer language on Russia’s war in Ukraine, straining G7 unity.

Officials say the U.S. is blocking references to "Russian aggression" and prefers calling it the "Ukraine conflict."

This shift follows Trump's peace talks with Putin that excluded Ukraine's President Zelensky, whom Trump later called a "dictator."

The change in rhetoric contrasts with Biden-era support for Ukraine and threatens a unified G7 stance.

Kick us out, Trump is not in the G7 to do anything but fuck it up. Being a self interested stakeholder is normal but he's not self interested. He is clearly under Putin's influence.

Maybe since it's mostly just the northeast Atlantic now, it should be NEATO.

But I couldn't vote for Harris because that was a vote for genocide.

Coming from a country with ranked voting and more than 2 parties, this looks so ridiculous. It's like the USA electoral system is designed to make people bicker amongst themselves about who is the lesser evil, while oligarchs take control.

Veritasium, on yt ( not a guy I recommend frequently ) has a vid on election-systems.

Approval-disapproval seems to be the sanest electing-system there is..

All the ranked-choice-systems logically have problems, though no-where near as bad as 1st-past-the-post idiocy.

Please, people, if you're interested in the sanest voting-system possible, watch that video, & then organize to replace your system with the currently-best-option, which seems, from that vid, to be the approval/disapproval system.

( it makes the most-approved person win, and one can approve-of multiple different candidates, so the majority-of-voters get heard, no-matter-what, see? )

Let Trump and Putin have a G1.5. Do it. Make him look like a Russian stooge.
