Putin helped get Trump elected, so now, Trump has got a thing going for Putin.

Russia announced its permanent withdrawal in 2017, what makes Trump thinks they want back in to the G7?

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.

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.

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".

thanks for noticing..in truth the US/Russian/west and Ukraine relations is anything but simple.
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
