Russia kicked out of the G8 By Jackson Daughety
Summary:Due to the annexation of Crimea, Russia has made a few enemies. This has caused the other countries in the G8, including the United States, to kick Russia out. The G8 is a socioeconomic group that all of the biggest economic powers are a part of. A sort of unofficial untied nations of economy. When asked, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, stated that this was no big deal and that Russia would be fine without this group.
Analysis: This is so funny that entire nations are excluding each other like kindergarteners on the playground. I find it so sad that the best people a country can give are just as self centered and basically dumb like the rest of the world. Politics still remains a joke for people to occasionally laugh at as far as I'm concerned.

That's a very interesting perspective I hadn't thought about. I guess that if the group is just a classification and not an organization with benefits, then it really doesn't matter if a country's in the group or not, unless it's a clique-y kind of thing that you were suggesting where Russia will be discriminated against. Maybe it deserves it, though, because I'm not sure what's going on with Crimea, though I wouldn't be surprised if politics were basically affecting international politics.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Frances; it may not even matter that Russia isn't in this group anymore. They have to be careful, though, because if they make too many enemies without having the G8 as support, they could get into big trouble eventually.
