Donald Trump just blew the minds of G7 leaders, when he, according to Buzzfeed, casually said:

“Crimea is Russian because everyone who lives there speaks Russian.”

That one sentence was enough to trigger lamentation, and impotent helpless rage in the stenographers union, also known as western media. Trump also allegedly said that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

According to Transparency International, after more than 4 years from the “revolution of dignity” Ukraine has 130 rank in corruption perception, among 176 states, “out-performed” by such countries as Guatemala, Nigeria, Turkmenistan and Somalia.

This is something Ukrainians are all aware of, as they suffer daily under a government that literally tried to legalize corruption.

Buzzfeed claimed that Trump told this to G7 leaders via “two diplomatic sources”, who just so happen to be anonymous. Half of the sources the corporate media uses these days have been anonymous lately.

Still, it’s no secret Trump has been known to, at times, say reasonable things about Russia, as he seems to understand at least in theory, that ‘getting along with Russia is a good thing’. He certainly says it many times, but the jury is still out on whether he means it, or is actually capable of achieving better relations. To be clear, it’s not Russia which has done anything to cause the bad relations.

While we don’t have a video of Trump saying those words, he has recently spoken on camera about Russia in relation to the G7.

Specifically, Trump said:

Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting. I would recomend Russia should be in the meeting, it should be a part of it. Whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run, and at the G7, which used to be the G8, they through Russia out. They should let Russia come back in, because we should have Russia at the negotating table.

O inferno desabou sobre o G6+1, também chamado G7, em La Malbaie, Canadá, quando todos só pensavam na divina integração eurasiana na Organização de Cooperação de Xangai, OCX, em Qingdao, China, em Shandong, província natal de Confúcio.

O presidente Donald Trump dos EUA foi a estrela previsível do show no Canadá. Chegou atrasado. Saiu mais cedo. Faltou a um desjejum de trabalho. Discordou de tudo e de todos. Fez uma "proclamação de livre comércio", pró nenhuma barreira e nenhuma tarifa, nenhuma, em lugar algum, depois de impor tarifas ao aço e ao alumínio contra Europa e Canadá. Propôs que a Rússia voltasse ao G8 (Putin mandou dizer que tem outras prioridades). Assinou o comunicado final, em seguida retirou a própria assinatura.

A atitude de 'estou-pouco-ligando-pra-vocês', de Trump, enlouqueceu os líderes europeus reunidos no Canadá. Depois da foto oficial, o presidente dos EUA puxou pelo braço o primeiro-ministro italiano Giuseppe Conte e disse em êxtase "Que grande vitória eleitoral, a sua!"
