G 8 is now officially G 7. We are back to the Cold war.

[MZIMU]

The Group of Eight (G8) refers to the group of eight highly industrialized nations-France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Russia-that hold an annual meeting to foster consensus on global issues like economic growth and crisis management, global security, energy, and terrorism. The forum enables presidents and prime ministers, as well as their finance and foreign ministers, to candidly discuss pressing international issues. Its small and static membership, however, excludes emerging powers from important talks concerning the global economy and international security, and as an informal grouping, states have little leverage over other members with which to secure compliance on agreements beyond imposing reputational costs.

The Group of Eight (G8) originated in 1975 with a summit of six countries, then became the G7 when Canada joined. When Russia joined in 1998, it became the G8. Lawmakers have been calling for Russia's suspension from the forum ever since Russian troops reportedly moved into the Crimean peninsula over the weekend. U.S. secretary of state John Kerry warned Russia could be expelled and face economic sanctions on Saturday due to his country's "incredible act of aggression," The Guardian reports.

Russia and the G8

Russia formally joined the group in 1998, after steps toward democratization and years of gradual engagement with what was then the G7. With the Cold War over, several world leaders-particularly U.S. president Bill Clinton-encouraged Russia's inclusion as a gesture toward Russian president Boris Yeltsin. Russia had neither a fully liberalized economy nor Western-style democracy, but G7 leaders hoped Russia's inclusion would safeguard its democratic progress. Russia held the G8 presidency for the first time in 2006 and will once again assume the presidency in 2014, with the summit set to be held in Sochi, a Black Sea resort city that was host to the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Russia is not participating in what is called G 7 (formally G 8) meeting in the Hague. President Putin has declined the attendance and its chair is Empty.

Mkuu VITA BARIDI, ni vita ambayo nchi mbili zinakua na uhasama wa Kidiplomasia kimya kimya au kwa sauti, ila kila mmoja anachelea kutumia Silaha za Moto dhidi ya Mwenzie kwakua wote watapata Madhara makubwa sana.

Nchi ya URUSI kabla haija sambaratika, ilikua katika mzozo wa kisiasa na kidiplomasia na USA, Mara baada ya vita kuu ya pili ya dunia. Kila mmoja alitaka kutambulika na nchi nyingine kua yeye ndio mwenye uwezo mkubwa wa kijeshi, ki uchumi na Technologia. Hivyo walikua wakitumia muda wao mwingi kushindana, kuchunguzana na kuharibiana mipango ya Maaendeleo na Ushirikiano wa kimataifa kwa ujumla. Hata inapotokea URUSI inaingia vitani na nchi nyingine, USA ilikua inaenda kusamsaidia adui wa URUSI. Na vivyo hivyo USA inakua vitani URUSI inakwenda kumsaidia adui wa USA.

Remember VIETNAM, ANGOLA, AFGHANISTAN etc.

[h=1]UPDATE 1-UK joins US, France in pulling out of G8 preparatory meetings[/h]

(Reuters) - Britain will suspend its participation in preparations for a G8 meeting in Sochi after Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, British Foreign Minister William Hague said on Sunday.
The United States has already said it will not take part in the meetings, and a source in President Francois Hollande's office said France has also pulled out.
Western countries are scrambling to respond to developments in Ukraine's Crimea, where Putin has claimed the authority to send Russian troops in the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cold War.
"The United Kingdom will join other G8 countries this week in suspending our co-operation under the G8, which Russia chairs this year, including ... meetings this week for the preparation of the G8 summit," Hague told media before boarding a flight to Kiev to meet with the pro-Western government that took power when Russian ally Viktor Yanukovich fled last week.
Hague said Russia would have to "think hard" about the united diplomatic and peaceful international response to its actions and said he hoped direct communication between Ukraine and Russia would be able to take place.
"We call on both sides to ensure that there can be a reduction in tensions and the avoidance of conflict," he said.

Mmmemsikia FM wa Russia Lavrov anasema nini; “If our Western partners believe the format has exhausted itself, we don’t cling to this format,” he said. “We don’t believe it will be a big problem if it doesn’t convene.”
