ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - The Biden administration is not inviting Russia to join the G7 group of world leaders, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Friday, backing away from former President Donald Trump’s push for Moscow’s membership.
Any invitation for Russia to join the G7 would be made in partnership with all of the group’s members, she told reporters, speaking aboard Air Force One.

Joe’s gotta do what Xi orders...
Russia has the 11th largest GDP.
That would not be in the top 7 economies.
It’s also important for the panda huggers to drive a wedge between the United States and Russia so we’ll be forced closer to China. they think we can’t be can’t be enemies of both the other superpowers. I think we can though. And if it was a bad idea, OFW.
So its Cold War II and Russia is the old/new big baddie . . . UFB!
If the G7 were based on largest economies it would include
United States. GDP: $19.48 trillion. ...
China. GDP: $12.23 trillion. ...
Japan. GDP: $4.87 trillion. ...
Germany. GDP: $3.69 trillion. ...
India. GDP: $2.65 trillion. ...
United Kingdom. GDP: $2.63 trillion. ...
France. GDP: $2.58 trillion
As it is now you have Canada and Italy in G7 but not India.
and, all the while, we’re stuck in bed with the dog eating, virus releasing, ChiCom savages. I don’t think our landfills can take much more of their crap.
These idiots are going to drive Putin deeper into what ever
camp treats him better than the U. S.
We don’t have to kiss his a.., but it’s just ignorant to
alienate the guy without need.
Don’t try using the line that he’s not a good guy. Who is
these days?
I’m surprised they haven’t given Kim an ultimatum by now.
They must want to drive him back to being dangerous at once.
And Iran, lets get a tri-fecta going.
Ahhhhhh Free Republic Putin Communism socialism.
Our Socialism nationalism is better than they’re communism
Who’s laughing? Putin is! Who owns China? Russia!!!
My god will you open your eyes and realize that the CCP is under control by the Russians, this whole Russia/China are enemies the whole CCP is the largest threat is a psyop by Russian intelligence just like in WWII when they’re were pulling of the strings of Allies, the Axis alliances.
Yeah Chicoms are bad very bad but they’re not real external threat the Russians are they always have and always will be.
In recent years I’ve wondered why the Democrats are so afraid of Russia and anxious to demonize that nation...
It’s just part of the deception. In reality, they are in cahoots with the Russians, and the ChiComs.
We’re reaching out to Iran but we’re pushing Russia away?
The ‘80s called, Joe. They want their foreign policy back!
The 'Trump-Russia collusion' story was of course a hoax, a COVER, to hide what THEY (the notoriously traitorous Democrats) were doing, as the only evidence for Russia collusion involves THEM!
1) Newly unclassified docs reportedly state (surprise-surprise) Russians actually wanted HILLARY to win, not Trump! Obama CIA chief Brennan hid the evidence!!
2) Top Putin aids (Vladislav Surkov and Vyacheslav Trubnikov) provided disinformation (fake 'dirt') on Trump! (via RUSSIAN AGENT Igor Danchenko) for Clinton campaign/DNC paid-for Steele dossier!!
3) Obama-Biden DENIED desperately requested military assistance to Ukraine
...during the 2014 Russia invasion of Crimea!! At the time (2014) Trump had sharply and publicly (on NBC's Today Show, and elsewhere) criticized the Obama administraion, asserting that "Putin has eaten Obama's lunch" once again.
4) $3.5 MILLION from the wife of a former mayor of Moscow! (Elena Baturina) The former mayor of Moscow (Yuri Luzhkov) was a strong advocate for Russia invading and taking over Crimea. The $3.5 million reportedly passed hands within WEEKS of the Russia invasion of Crimea! (Feb-Mar 2014). Obama admin did nothing but provide them food rations and blankets! They had begged him for military equiptment.
5) Burisma owner (Mykola Zlochevsky) was/is a RUSSIA ALLY! Joe Biden's son worked for and brought in millions from Burisma. Joe is ON VIDEO BRAGGING about extorting the Ukrainians into firing the prosecutor who was investigating his son and the corrupt RUSSIA-ALLIED owner of the company. Zlochevsky was an official of the former 'puppet' regime that Putin had installed in the Ukraine via a rigged election. Viktor Yanukovych, the 'puppet' president of that regime's pro-American opponent in the election (Viktor Yushchenko) barely survived an assassination attempt by poisoning. His face was left badly pock-mocked for a long time afterward. Putin is widely believed to be responsible.
6) For 8 years the Obama-Biden-Clinton admin immensely HELPED the Russians, via Obama's promised and delivered "flexibility" on missile defense, the Russia-favoring New Start nuke treaty, the Putin-loving Iran deal (Iran and Syria are pawns of Russia in the oil/gas-rich Middle East), the Uranium-One deal, where Obama-Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of 20% of our uranium production!
7) They (Obama-Biden) deliberately slashed OUR military to pieces. Fortunately, Trump has/had since brought it back times 10.
China wants Russia in it’s grip.
So any Western influence on Russia is verboten!
In an effort to depict Donald Trump as if he were in an espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, the Obama administration used bogus information, from a man the FBI suspected was an actual Russian spy.
It turns out that Igor Danchenko, the man the FBI suspected of being an actual Russian spy, initially provided the bogus information about the American, Carter Page, through a former British spy, Christopher Steele.
Through a couple of cut-outs, Steele had been retained by the Clinton campaign to dig up -- or, alas, to make up -- Russian dirt on Trump. Through his private intelligence business in London, Steele was known to be working for Russian oligarchs, while Danchenko was on Steele's payroll.
That is, the Clinton campaign, and ultimately the Obama administration, colluded with Russians for the purpose of accusing Donald Trump of . . . yes . . . colluding with Russians."

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday revealed a bombshell allegation that Hillary Clinton ordered "a campaign plan to stir up a scandal" by linking President Trump to Russia in 2016 -- and that then-President Barack Obama knew about her possible role.
Ratcliffe disclosed the information in a letter published by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) just hours before Trump debates Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time.
Clinton's alleged July 2016 plot would tar Trump by "tying him to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and the Russians' hacking of the Democratic National Committee," Ratcliffe wrote Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Handwritten notes by then-CIA Director John Brennan, who now is a fiery anti-Trump commentator, say that Brennan briefed Obama on "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services." ..."

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell is working to declassify documents relating to the investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and, according to Fox News' Ed Henry, some of those declassified documents will actually show a Russian effort to benefit Hillary Clinton during the election, not Donald Trump.
Henry told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that four or five new batches of intelligence are being declassified, one of which contains an assessment that Brennan sought to suppress, showing that Russia wanted Clinton to win. ...”
"Remember the U.S. intel community came out with that remarkable statement, an assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and most importantly the intel report claimed that Russia interfered because they wanted Donald Trump to win," Henry said. That of course followed the narrative of the now-discredited Steele Dossier.
Well, it turns out Obama’s CIA chief, John Brennan also had intel saying "actually Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was a known quantity, she had been secretary of state, and Vladimir Putin’s team thought she was more malleable..."

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California), Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on Robert Mueller's May 29, 2019 press conference:
Nunes: "Well, he [Mueller] should have been gone after day two.
He has no Russians, except for the Fusion and Clinton Russians, and possibly the dirty cop, the FBI's Russians, those are the only Russians that he has, to show “connections” to the Trump campaign.
Clearly, the Clinton operation is heavily working with Russians or Russian disinformation. He didn’t take time to look into any of that"

It came from the Russian intelligence service."

Re: ((Vladislav Surkov))
"On October 11, 2016, [Christopher] Steele was interviewed in Washington by [Hillary-Obama] State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.
In that interview, he [Steele] identified two of his insider Kremlin sources as Vladislav Surkov and Vyasheslov Trubnikov.”
Surkov has spent over a decade moving up in the regime. In 2013, he became Putin's personal adviser, particularly on Georgia and Ukraine, where Putin has since made major territorial annexations.
Kremlin-wise, Surkov is top-echelon; he's sometimes referred to as "Putin's Rasputin."
Trubnikov is a longtime regime eminence who ran the SVR (Russia external intelligence service, analogous to the CIA) before Putin came to power. Since then, he has continued to be an insider, while moving on to critical positions...”

Re: Vladislav Surkov:
"Foreign politicians talk about Russia's interference in elections and referendums around the world. In fact, the matter is even more serious: Russia interferes in your brains, we change your conscience, and there is nothing you can do about it."

"She [HILLARY CLINTON] launched the [Russia] 'reset' policy after the murders of Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian intelligence agent who had been granted asylum in Britain, and Anna Politkovskaya, Russia's leading investigative journalist.
In both cases, the regime of Vladimir Putin was directly implicated. [both were poisoned]
Instead of trying seriously to deter Russian aggression, which in Ukraine so far has claimed more than 10,000 lives, the Obama administration in 2009 created the McFaul-Surkov commission.
Michael McFaul, Mr. Obama's chief adviser on Russia, was tasked with building civil society alongside Vladislav Surkov, a Kremlin aide responsible for suppressing it. ..."
