The G7 is just a glorified club for economic posturing, pretending to uphold "democratic values" while conveniently ignoring their own hypocrisies. Re-admitting Russia after its blatant disregard for sovereignty in Crimea would only confirm that these alliances are transactional, not moral.
Trump’s nostalgia for the G8 reeks of his obsession with strongmen and a complete disregard for geopolitical accountability. It’s not about “liking” or “not liking” Russia; it’s about setting a precedent that annexation and aggression won't be rewarded with a seat at the table.
If the G7 actually stood for anything beyond self-interest, this wouldn't even be a discussion. But here we are—debating whether to invite the fox back into the henhouse.
