Six of the Group of Seven leaders are trying on the final day of their Tuesday to show the wealthy nations’ club still has the clout to shape world events despite the early departure of Donald Trump.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his counterparts from the U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Japan will be joined by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO chief Mark Rutte to discuss Russia’s relentless war on its neighbor.

World leaders had gathered in Canada with the specific goal of helping to defuse a series of pressure points, only to be disrupted by a showdown over Iran’s nuclear program that could escalate in dangerous and uncontrollable ways. Israel launched an aerial bombardment campaign against Iran on Friday, and Iran has hit back with missiles and drones.

Why did they even invite Trump? He’s useless at best. Enemy most probably.

I think being a democracy is a requirement for being in the G7, I’m not sure we can still say USA is a democracy. They sure are breaking almost every ideal that comes with being a democracy.
With what USA is now we might as well invite China into G8.

What do you mean salvage? Now that the Russian asset is gone, maybe they can do something productive for a change.

Like most international groups of the doesn’t commit resources to it, their effective reach is greatly diminished. We saw this with Libya, without us fuel and munitions most jets would be grounded in about a week.

Asked what it would take for the U.S. to get involved in the conflict militarily, Trump said Monday morning, “I don’t want to talk about that.”

Yeah, I bet you fucking don't.
