Quote:The facts are impressive. The G20 represents 80 percent of global GDP, 75 percent of global trade, 65 percent of the world’s population and 80 percent of the global resources and consumption. Prima facie, the forum represents the collective opinion of the world community and the G20 process itself is the fountainhead of multilateralism. But at the end of the group’s summit in Hamburg, the nagging question that remains will be: Is G20 past its prime as the charioteer of the global agenda?
No doubt, the event in Hamburg has been a pale shadow of the last G20 summit in Hanghzhou in 2015. Hangzhou succeeded in bringing the dual themes of development and inclusiveness more firmly into focus and by extending official consultations well beyond the circle of G20 members by inviting a record number of guests from the developing world. Hangzhou will be seen as the most inclusive G20 summit ever held, offering the promise of a new model for shared leadership.
The so-called “Hangzhou Consensus†called on the G20 to deliver more inclusive economic growth through co-ordinated macroeconomic policy, open trade and innovation. In short, it reaffirmed the group’s core mandate: to make globalisation work for the benefit of all. If diplomacy is at its core an incremental business, the G20 summit in Hamburg has fallen decidedly short on substance. Trade and climate change turned out to be hugely controversial and multilateralism itself suffered grievous setback
President Trump on Monday defended his daughter’s taking his seat at the Group of 20 summit, which was widely criticized over the weekend. The elder Trump tweeted, “When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!†German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday did stand up for Ivanka Trump’s place at the table, arguing that “the delegations themselves decide, should the president not be present for a meeting, who will then take over and sit in the chair,†Merkel said. “Ivanka Trump was part and parcel of the American delegation, so that is something that other delegations also do. It’s very well known that she works at the White House and is also engaged in certain initiatives.†But Trump kept going Monday. He tweeted, “If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother, as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!†Most criticism of the younger Trump’s participation in the high-level meetings focused on her lack of experience, not her name.

No way. ::LOL:: Santa Trump ::LOL:: ::LOL:: He's just upto something, but the thing is, no matter how much he tries and how much he toughens, there's that clique who wish him out.. Anyway, let's watch out his next steps because something great is on it's way and Donald will applause it. I have a feeling that's a religious law it's on it's way, and it might not be the Sheria law to our surprise

trust me ...russians are white supremists as well

but there is basic problem between the Russians and the capitalist west that cant be resolved by racism. indeed racism and Russian isolation from the coloured world is existential anathema for them.
what to my mind Russians racism can lead to is a the kind of globalization we see developing with China and dem tied up in Silk Roads etc. in that development is safety for the Russian state because it maintains nationalism and gives ordinary people some kind of break for now..which eases revolutionary fervor and so on
we see that globalization developing rapidly. it contains the potential of belling the american capitalist cat that is a rabid social dog prepared too kill the planet. that is a good potential/benefit.
but that won't resolve the capitalist problem..the contradiction between owners and workers. which is why globalization, whether from China or from europe/America walks with same problems as dominant in the western world now
Labour exploitation is on roids in globalization and it can only be solved in one way..social change the takes the means of production away from the individual owners and placed in the hands of those who work in the industry...in all industries. this will lead to social democracy..real democracy in which there is no dominant minority class
so Russians are indeed racist but who cares. if humanity is to survive global society must democratize in the most basic and real sense there is..power to the people. in that case society kills racism, class-ism and all social divisions.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY HUMAN SOCIETY CAN GO ON INDEFINITELY. IF THAT DOES NOT TAKE PLACE YOU CAN BE SURE THAT HUMAN SOCIETY HAS BECOME EXTINCT..KILLED ITSELF IN NUCLEAR WA..OR THE CAPITALIST OLIGARCHS MANAGED TO INTEGRATE THEMSELVES GLOBALLY, TOOK OVER THE PLANET AND IMPOSED SCIENTIFIC CAPITALIST SOLUTIONS OF THEIR PROBLEMS ON HUMANITY GLOBALLY.
Those solutions would men massive population reduction by all manner of killing people of great numbers. poisoned food, low wages/high prices, small wars going on constantly all over the world, by the spreading of homosexuality by law globally. they will kill health care, eliminate education, destroy physical infrastructure that will turn nations like the USA/Canada into the old way it used to be when people had to find ways to cross rivers and lakes and hills and gorges to get around..back to the stone age..no more subways, bridges roads
that wud isolate people and just about eliminate the possibilities of national revolution. people cud try to take over where they are and socialize there. but while the people cant travel the state can, would be able to..with helicopters flown by robot police, thinking by artificial intelligence to kill the revolutionaries. they cud send in drones to kill people from miles away.
it is my contention that humanity under this type of domination would slowly degrade and die off. most people will be killed off by the capitalist anyway. their aim right now is to reduce humanity to 500 million people from almost 8 billions. that is a stunning kill rate that would cud not possibly be reversed once fully engaged in. humanity would not be able to regenerate itself once all we have are rabid capitalist their hangers on and an engineered rump, to serve the rich..made stupid to love their servitude
artificially intelligent machines may then take over if they find a way before they too rust away
how does white racism, Russian racism, fit into this scenario which seems quite solid to me ::confused::
it does not. nature does not care about temporary crap like just about everything capitalist humanity does.
