WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS and JOKERS
Do you still remember - recall the movie The Magnificent Seven? If you think this G7 meeting was a meeting of the Magnificent Seven, you are very much mistaken.
It was more of a meeting of politically and morally failed leaders who are fighting to stay in power, except for the host, the Italian Prime Minister.
- Our PM Rishi Sunak looks certain to lose power in a national vote next month after 14 years of austerity. 14 years of his personal enrichment and the enrichment of family members and friends. Lies after lies, scandal after scandal everything from sex to drugs. Fingers crossed for the Labour Party to win this election!
- French president Emmanuel Macron is reeling from heavy defeats in recent European elections with huge swing and support to Marine Le Pen. If Labour wins in the UK, it will be better if France is under Le Pen because Le Pen will change law about immigration in France where under current law French police cannot do much about immigrants, even less stopping the boats with destination United Kingdom. In such circumstances, Emmanuel Macron was forced to call a snap election. Similar as UK PM Rishi Sunak did, to not be given a boot from his oven party.
- German chancellor Olaf Scholz is losing ground with reality. His party was also heavily defeated in recent European elections, the same as the French. His party is on 4th place now, and needs to form a coalition with other parties to stay in power.
- The Canadian PM is also in huge trouble at home where opinion polls are very very bleak.
- Same applies for Japan's PM where polls show rejection of his policy.
- The last here is the U.S. President Joe Biden who faces a polarized electorate and dismal approval ratings ahead of a re-election bid in November.
The only person with nothing to worry about was the host leader – the Italian leader!
Now then, how on earth could such a bunch of politicians do anything good for the world if they cannot do anything good for their own countries?
This bunch of losers was joined by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, where G7 leaders reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine for as long as it takes – sending an unmistakable signal to Putin that he will not outlast our resolve. However, support will not be coming from their monies directly, they announced a plan to provide Ukraine with $50bn in new financing by bringing forward the interest earned on immobilized Russian sovereign assets held in the European Union and other jurisdictions.
By doing this – giving Russian money to fight against Russia is very tricky business. There was no evidence that money would be used for rebuilding Ukraine. The only clear evidence is that with this money will be paid to manufacturers in the US and UK and partially in Germany and 2 other countries for weapon and ammunition manufacturers, therefore, they intend to use Russian money for their own country's industry as not US not UK have in their budget any money for their own Defence Department.
Tory came out again full of lies about their Manifesto to predict 2.5% for Defence. Make no mistake, when Labour was still in the office in 2010 the Defence Department budget was 2.8%.
The Biden Administration this week issued a sweeping set of new sanctions and export control measures, to intensify the pressure on Russia for its war against Ukraine. Foreign banks now face increased sanctions risk when they deal with Russia’s war economy.
New sanctions on more than 300 individuals and entities in Russia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and globally target Russia’s financial infrastructure; over a dozen international evasion and procurement networks; Russia’s future energy, metals, and mining revenues.
The Biden Administration also announced steps to restrict access to certain U.S. software and information technology services, to crack down on diversion of goods through shell companies, and to more extensively restrict exports to entities that supply Russia with U.S. branded items produced overseas.
What is also concerning is what Biden did with Zelensky – they signed the US – Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement as a demonstration of enduring U.S. support for Ukraine, including through binding commitments to deepen our security and defence cooperation and to consult in the event of a future armed attack.
From my knowledge being a high ranked officer in the past and still a high ranking officer of two territorial armies this is a bit controversial. Why? The U.S. is part of NATO, therefore, none from NATO can sign such Bilateral agreement with the country which is not part of any wings.
We must not forget that the U.S. and UK “invented” weapons of must distraction in Libya and Iraq what all we are paying now heavily with huge immigration. When Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were around there were no boats from Africa or the Middle East to Europe.
