    Trump made the remarks to reporters while meeting in the Oval Office with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday afternoon.

    “We talk about Russia because I’ve been to numerous G-7 meetings,” Trump said. “I think it’s much more appropriate to have Russia in.”

    Whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run,” Trump said then. “And in the G-7, which used be the G-8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

    Why is Trump begging on Russia's behalf for something Russia does not even want?

    It is just freakin' weird. Trump is just looking way too eager to go above and beyond what the Kremlin even wants, to curry favor with them.
    It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness to beg, and scurry about trying to curry favor like this.

    "Russians Not Interested in Joining G-8, They Are Perfectly Happy Working in the G-20 Framework"

    MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia has not asked to rejoin the group of the world's leading economies and is perfectly happy working with the larger Group of 20, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday (June 9), a day after US President Donald Trump called for Russia's return.

    Lavrov said on national television that Russia "never asked anyone to return" to the Group of Seven (G-7) following the 2014 decision to suspend Russia over Moscow's annexation of Crimea.

    Ahead of the annual meeting of G-7 leaders, Trump said Russia should be allowed back, a suggestion quickly rejected by Britain, France and Germany.

    first off Russia's announcement was facing saving -in truth Russia was ousted for Ukraine activities
    I won't go i to the obvious we forced Russia to annex Crimean for Sevastopol access

    U.S., other powers kick Russia out of G8 March 2014
    https://www.cnn.com/2014/03/24/polit...rip/index.html

    Trump said " a lot of discussion is about Russia in the meetings" which looks true

    Trump and Macron agree that Russia should be invited to next year's G7

    engaging Russia is always better then shunning Russia

    Remember that Russia had a military hacking operation going to elect Trump. They actually worked with members of Trump's election staff, like Manfort. They started pro Trump demonstrations and helped some others. The sent out massive amounts of dishonest emails and Tweets. How many did Russia get to vote and march? It was a very close election, so the fact is, Putin picked our president.

    Russia was kicked out for invading Crimea. Trump will overlook that because Putin told him to.

    The Russians supplied the Pee Pee Dossier to Obama ... to defeat Trump.

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    But it all turned sour when we meddled in the Euromaidan,making sure a demonstration turned into a police riot, turned into a revolution
    John McCain and Vicky Nuland were incompetent asshats

    That's pretty concise boiled down version

    .

    But Libs don't know what the Euromaiden is.
