Communication - the only issue of the G-7 summit in Biarritz

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 27 August 2019
The G7,which was originally a meeting-place for the Western leaders to better understand their respective points of view, has now become a communication platform. Far from sharing their opinions in private, the guests have become actors in a media show in which each of them tries to deliver a convincing performance. The worst moment of this G7 was the surprise concocted by Emmanuel Macron for the journalists, and against his US guest.

Privately, Donald Trump thinks that Crimea is part of Russia

16 June 2018
During the G7 dinner at Charlevoix, Donald Trump explained to his partners that he considered that the peninsular of Crimea really belonged to Russia. What is significant is the US President’s reasoning: all the inhabitants of Crimea speak Russian and not Ukrainian.
Up till now, the West was united in accusing Russia of using force to annex Crimea.
The G7’s final communiqué does not seem to include the annexation of Crimea in the dispute with Russia but only the conflict in Eastern (...)

The G7 «order» is the Nato order

by Manlio Dinucci

Damascus (Syria) | 30 May 2017
Depending on your mental attitude, you will see the glass being half full or half empty. So Thierry Meyssan emphasizes what Donald Trump has achieved this week at the Nato and G7 summits, while Manlio Dinucci pauses to reflect upon Trump’s shortcomings – what he has failed to do. And so, a system is put in place – a system created not by laws debated and authorized by the Congress – but by the men encircling Trump. Men hell-bent on ensuring that Trump resists any change… enim sibi gerendum bellum est.
