They should release two statements so the adults can condemn russia and Trump and minions have their own to play with.

Rubio, who called Joly a friend,

You have no friends, Marco. You're a laughing stock.

""Top diplomats from the Group of 7 industrialized democracies agreed Friday on a joint statement expressing support for Ukraine and a U.S. ceasefire proposal""

Hilarious, the so called G7 in now NOTHING but a whining with smiles and dinning event, NO point in keeping it going what so ever, we have the UNSC with veto powers controlling world events deciding who will live or die. the G7 will soon be U7 for USELESS 7.

Interesting how the racist Trump only talks about Canada becoming the 51st state, but never Mexico! I wonder why?

Also, if other G7 countries still think it’s only a joke when Trump continues to state that Canada should become a state then they are fools and perhaps Canada would do better aligning with more serious people! Why can they not understand this is a fundamental threat to another countries territory!

I wonder what would happen if a group of so called Michigan militia decided to try something foolish which led to an armed skirmish? What would happen then. Something to think about.

You have no friends, Marco.

He doesn’t need friends for his job, his job is to advance US interests that benefit the nation, that’s the only thing that matters

You're a laughing stock.

Uh, ok…

Interesting how the racist Trump

The man is not racist, libs still trying that debunked tale?

only talks about Canada becoming the 51st state, but never Mexico! I wonder why? 

Well, Canada is very close to the U.S., they speak English, culture, food ideology is similar, that would be the overall main reason, both sides can quickly acclimate to each others culture and country, that’s why.

Also, if other G7 countries still think it’s only a joke when Trump continues to state that Canada should become a state then they are fools and perhaps Canada would do better aligning with more serious people!

They could, but they won’t, makes no sense when we are next door, kind of like The US funding Ukraine, why? They’re in Europe, let them take care of it.

Why can they not understand this is a fundamental threat to another countries territory!

Not to the U.S.

That G7 last year was basically pointless looking back, those “leaders” are nearly all gone.

as a good thing!

The Canada thing is not to be taken literally remember. It’s just a figure of speech, locker room type banter. It’s funny you are really thinking about it.

↑Typical worldview of people who don't have friends in real life.

I see

But do you? How do you know when to believe what he says or when it is just a figure if speech or trollin’ the libs? Is it a special skill or can anyone learn it?

Keeping other nations as friends and allies is essential. Without friends and allies the US is nothing. America alone is an America that is irrelevant.

The last two world wars ended up involving the US. The US was uninvolved with Europe after WWI and that didn't turn out so well in the end. After the Second World War the US and its allies rethought how the post war world should look so there wouldn't be a WWIII. So far that has worked as planned but if the US withdraws from Europe it won't be for long. There will be a WWIII and the US will be part of it. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is like the German invasion of Czechoslovakia and Poland. If the US and its allies do not stand up to Russia right now and defeat them in Ukraine, there will be another great war in Europe and the US will again get pulled into a great and tragic war that is preventable today by defeating Russia. NOT by caving in to them.

Not name calling, just fact stating.

By name calling is now confused with facts

Canada doesn't need "help"

But they’re capitulating, as we knew they would in the end.

The convicted felon and former Insurrectionist-in-Chief has done more in 50 days to destroy the Atlantic Alliance that started nearly 80 years to build.

Trump has asked the military to draw up Greenland and the Panama Canal plans.

How would they stop it, use their military against us, King Charles will send a fleet

This person is now actually advocating for a military invasion of Canada.

This is what MAGA does to people's brains.

And then they wonder why they don't have friends...

Keeping it real.

They won’t have to stop it because it won’t happen. But daydream about it all you want.

“I’ve never heard President Trump say that Russia has a right to take all of Ukraine and do whatever they want there," Rubio told reporters. "So that’s not inconsistent.”

Rubio is right.

Trump continues to show his humane side and his desire for peace. "I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II,"

Trump has asked the military to draw up Greenland and the Panama Canal plans.

Great. Thank you for that bit.

The G7 is moribund. Rubio can't wait to escape from this three-ring-circus.

Misappropriating seized state Russian assets is downright theft - a blatant violation of international law.
