I agree with the President @realDonaldTrump: Russia should be back in the G8. It is in everyone's interest.

Yesss!
I have no problem with it. Hey Merkle is in it. Hehehehe
I’m not sure I agree with Trump on this. It would have to be contingent on resolving the situation in Ukraine. Is that not one of the reasons they got kicked out of it? It’s out of the news right now, but I think it’s still not resolved. I think Russia is still in that country. Let’s remember, they gave up their nukes at the end of the cold war in a promise that the west would protect them from Russia.
Remember though, Russia isn’t just a convenient meme on which to attack Trump.
Russia is a real and existential threat to globalist, establishment, progressive Western elites.
This won’t be rep’d well.
BUMP
I think it would be good to get the Russians into talking mode as members of the G8. I don’t know if they’re interested, but I’m getting the feeling that maybe their love affair with Iran is over (especially now that Iran is no longer receiving big bucks from Obama, and probably expects Russia to make up the difference).
Interesting,
Funny thing is as I type this I am in Rome, Italy currently on vacation.
Any on-the-street commentary that you’ve heard? I’ve heard from people who have been there recently that Francis tried to intervene and prevent these parties from taking power. Francis is already disliked in Rome, and I think the only thing his “intervention” did was make Salvini more popular.
I just found out that the only reason that Vatican City even exists is because Mussolini made a deal with the Church, so that he could get the support of the Church.

What did the Quirinal know and when did it know it?
Yes...
While that may be true, Italy got a new Prime Minister, cabinet and government last week. One of their Deputy Prime Ministers is a huge Trump supporter (Matteo Salvini).
Right now, except for Japan, I wouldn’t trust any of the other members of the G7.
