The G-7 summit, held in Évian-les-Bains, France, on the south shore of Lake Geneva June 16, and hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, removed from the agenda the real issues of the world financial-economic collapse, the disintegration of the terms of existence for the vast majority of the world’s population; and the path of peace through development. Therefore, it was a failure from the outset.
The Summit devolved into heavy elements of slapstick comedy on a main point that Macron, and the two of the other of the Three Stooges— British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz—had wanted to carry off: passing a resounding resolution in favor of the Ukraine war effort, with heavy funding, and getting U.S. President Donald Trump to endorse the endless war perspective of the pro-Nazi ruler of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky.
The atmosphere was set up for that to occur, but it went awry. The Hill reported on a discussion between Macron and Zelensky as they walked the grounds, caught on a live microphone, with Macron telling Zelensky, “Yesterday, we had a difficult discussion” with Trump. Even worse, as a short recorded video shows, the heads of the G-7 members walked into a room to sit around a round meeting table—representing the two British Commonwealth countries, the United Kingdom and Canada, as well as Germany, Japan, France, the United States and Italy—and while some gave Zelensky exaggerated bear-hugs, as if he were their long-lost grandmother, Trump refused to acknowledge or talk to Zelensky.
