They can go right back to the G-7 and the G-8 will cease to exist, except for Russia sitting in a room all alone.<BR/><BR/>Comment: if the board of a company meets while excluding some of its members it does not legally have the right in most countries to take any decisions. Moreover what you expect requires all the remaining members of the G8 to agree, aka dream on.<BR/><BR/>(b) Your inability to give any substantive reason Russia should be in the G-8 based on its credentials is pretty damning proof that it should be out.<BR/><BR/>Comment:<BR/>So if anonymous wanted to talk about the UK's place in the G8 without providing evidence for why it would be in woulk that be "pretty damning proof that it should be out"? Ever heard of the phrase "beside the point"? <BR/><BR/>(c) What the other G-8 members do is totally irrelevant. If the US demands that Russia be booted out, it will be. The G-8 without the US is meaningless. If you think the other members will chose Russia over the US if forced to do so, then you need to have your "brain" examined.<BR/><BR/>Comment:Yeah indeed they will do what they are told. Just like France and Germany did what they were told in 2003 and co-operated with the coalition of the willing and helped invade Iraq? Just like Japan is told to accept new members into the G8 and refuses seemingly until now without consequences? The G8 with the USA will eventually become meaningless: it does not make the decisions required to keep things moving in the world, it does not effectively tackle problems and in all likelihood it won't even consist of the world's largest economies (not democracies, for the crazed right-wing moralists). So just wake up and smell the coffee.<BR/><BR/>Dimwit.<BR/>Comment: Bravo, I'm sure Putin is shaking in his boots knowing he's found an opponent of such democratic integrity to challenge him. Gosh you must be on your way to radically changing Russia.I'm sure the Russian people have now got a new role model to look to for a peaceful and democratic future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-45078809617794466922008-07-10T17:00:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:00:00.000-04:00We hate to break it to you but:(a) If the G-8 memb...We hate to break it to you but:<BR/><BR/>(a) If the G-8 members decided to refuse to meet with Russia they can do so.

The rest is just wishful thinking that indicates a worrying inability to comprehend and come to terms with reality over fantasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
