Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Just wait until Trump sends bombers against Ukraine to help his commander Putin.

G7 is about to become the G6 and for the same reason it's not the G8

American here: please, for everyone’s sake, make this a reality.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Then Trump will personally invite Putin and Russia into a special "Friendship Union" with the US. We can call it FU2....

Add Kazakhstan and they can be R-BUICKS

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

Kazakhstan unironically has better politics nowadays than the US

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 40 points 15 hours ago

very excited for the US to get sidelined.

it's needed a wake-up call for a while

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 37 points 15 hours ago

please god make it soon. our government is channeling resources into pro-russian action and the aim is a single imperial ruler over the entire world, and then a thousand years of darkness (using the classical dark-age terminology)

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It would be really nice if the Canadian Government didn't let the Felon attend the G7 meeting this summer.

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Or at least put on a mildly humiliating show of making an exception to our strict border laws about letting felons in.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Trump (or, his administration anyway) has to fill up the same paperwork that anyone in his situation has to fill up in order to be let in. Same thing was happening with GWB because of his DUI!

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The Felon can still be denied entry even if he fills out the paperwork. Simply filling out the paper does not guarantee someone entry into Canada.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, I'm just saying that the paperwork is still done just the same, talking about him being prevented from entering is moot, it won't happen.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

They could have put out a press release, made a big show vote whether to let him in, made a thousand reports about him being a special exception for immigration laws

From the article ...

The “shadow fleet” refers to ageing oil tankers, the identities of which are hidden to help circumvent western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow since it launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine at the start of 2022.

the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”.
