President Trump says Russia should be allowed to rejoin the Group of Seven industrial nations, and Russia's Foreign Ministry has welcomed his remarks.

Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, before his scheduled trip to France for the G-7 summit, Trump encouraged Moscow's return to the elite group.

"I think it's much more appropriate to have Russia in," he said. "It should be the G-8 because a lot of the things we talk about have to do with Russia."

Trump blamed Obama for Russia's ouster, claiming that it was the result of his predecessor's humiliation on the world stage. Offering little to substantiate his claim, Trump said, "President Obama didn't want Russia in because he got outsmarted."

Don’t know if it was really the reason but there is no doubt that Obama was routinely pants by Putin.

Maybe it was the War Hillary started in Syria that drew Russia's backing of the Syrian Government, their long time backer and ally. Gee, I wonder.

It's hard to imagine Dems being shittier at war than W's gang, but they are.
