America
Correct. Nice to see headlines reflecting the complicity of the nation.
Fuck you, fix your country before we all die.
Fuck you.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you're waiting on Americans to storm the capital, then you're going to have to wait until a Democrat wins the presidency again.

You act like it’s an America problem and not a billionaire problem. Where do you live that you think the same billionaires don’t own you too?
We need to transcend nations before we all die and a handful of oligarchs have power forever.
You are right, but as citizens in nations, we can only demand solutions at the national level. Right now in that regard the problems are with the oligarchs in Russia and the oligarchs in the US, and they have control each of their respective countries. We are very well aware that there are rich assholes willing to play to Putin's tune in many of our countries and that they are financing opposition parties considerably.

When oligarchs in russia behave like Musk, they soon fall out of the window.
Putin is the biggest oligarch in Russia.

Did you mis the part about how it is a single >>NATION<< that veto'd the shadow oil fleet ban? So obviously a nation is the problem here, and of course the billionaires who have taken control of that nation.

The G7 has been compromised. EU had best work without the US now. The US is now led by a maniac who likes Putin, and wouldn't blink at betraying all the US longterm allies.
The US is led by Putin.
With a South African court jester dancing around to distract attention
A showman TV show actor Krasnov Trump and a S.African nazi court jester Elon... what could go wrong.
The US is led by Peter Thiel. Putin is there for convenience.
The G7 has been compromised.
Unfortunately, that's probably true for the whole world order.
I want to hope that the new one will be better, but oftentimes history tends to disagree with that notion. Yet I'll remain fighting for a better tomorrow.
Unfortunately, that's probably true for the whole world order.
That's fortunately for us here down in the global South. Let the oppressors (which Europe also is to be clear) fight each other and leave us alone. Sucks for Ukraine though.
God fucking damn that rapist traitor and all the shitheads that put him there.
I mean apart from the logic of sanctions, those shadowfleet boats are "environmental disaster" ticking timebombs. They are not very safe or seaworthy.
Some of them have extreme strange huge anchors, which tend to drag 100 km across the oceanfloor and mysterously break critical communication cables in Europe and so. Others have dubious highend technical devices on board.
Nice detail is that somehow they end up being owned by a Hong Kong Ltd.
They're basically modern privateers - acting on behest of their leader nations, but with public deniability. Every once in a while I wonder what it would take for a Nemo-type character to show up, commandeer a submarine, and start stalking/hunting them.

Just out of interest, where did you hear that the boats from this shadow fleet are registered by a company in Hong Kong? There would be some irony if China would use this as the final excuse to take over Hong Kong, to "clean up the mess" that Hong Kong companies have been causing internationally.
He needs to be impeached and the shitheads he’s put in removed.
create a new coalition of G6 let US stay in G7 alone.
This reminds me of 2014 when it stopped being the G8.
Fuck yeah. Pop some bottles in the ice
Just kick them out already, america can get fucked
Please keep us on the newsletter though so we can rejoin when the adults resume control
Trust is gone. At least from my perspective as a Canadian
Oh I don't think we expect you guys to trust us at all for a long ass time.
When the adults come back we just want to make sure we can bring the rest of the country up to speed. It gonna take a long time and a lot of restructuring to build trust again
The United States as we have known it for all of our lifetimes is dead, adults will never steer that ship again. There are certain portions of it that may be reasonable and trustable allies again at some point. But the current form of my country will never return to reason. I genuinely hope you don’t think we’ll have free and fair national elections again
Can’t say I blame you! I lost trust in most of my fellow Americans long ago. But, some of us are decent.
My mom was from New Jersey. I have a lot of family there and only one cousin is MAGA. I know most Americans are ok but if this happened now it could happen again.
Oh, as long as we have gerrymandering, I guarantee that it will continue to happen again. That is why my wife and I had been on our way out of the country permanently for over a year. But, unfortunately, ran into some unexpected roadblocks for now.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,"
Well, I had a chance to vote against it in my state this year. Unfortunately, I lost this one.
not only gerrymandering but voter suppression, plus thier constant rigging never gets challenged, or even investigated.

So can we dump the USA from the g7? Make it g6
This is why veto shouldn't be a thing.
Please kick us out of the G7! Turn off our power. Tariff everything. Make us hurt - that is the only way we will get rid of trump. Once social security goes away people will finally realize what is happening
On one hand yeah fuck the US we could do with being knocked down a bunch of pegs. On the other I worry desperate people are easy to control. It would create a very strong "us vs the world" vibe that fascists love to take advantage of.

Traitor.
Why don't they just move ahead with the plan regardless of America? The US has made it pretty clear they intend to depart NATO, and so the rest of the organization may as well just move forward regardless of what the US says.
The US position here is "We are rethinking our position here, and thus can't get involved in any new business," which to me is fair. Regardless of how anyone feels about their decision to leave, if they're deciding to leave, it makes sense to not start something that will keep them involved.
Why don't they just move ahead with the plan regardless of America?
It's in the article. G7 is about consensus. Doesn't mean other parties won't have their own plans.
It used to be G8. Then Russia got kicked out for... Invading Crimea!
Now that the US wants to join Russia in carving up Ukraine, it is due time to make the G6
Make it a G6. Problem solved. Russia isn't in the G7 so it shouldn't have a vote or veto in the first place. Not directly nor by proxy.
Just make it a European operation and that's it.
