G7 without the 8th member is like a castrated alf male.

>>77319263
Manolo, stop pls.

G7 as it should be:

>USA
>China
>Russia
>India
>Germany
>UK
>France

The current manifestation is a joke. Canada? Italy? Absolutely delusional to think those belong in the G7.

>>77320251
Canada has a larger economy than Russia :^)

>>77320251
Italy has a larger economy than Russia :^)

>>77320251
doesn't Italy have a larger economy than Russia?

>>77320251
Fuck, I forgot Japan.

Replace France with Japan.

Sure, in real numbers, but PPP is a more logical metric.

Secondly, economy size is just ONE metric. Italy is a de facto province of a German-French led federation, whereas Russia is a massive power which pursues an independent geopolitical agenda, unlike Italy.

The two are not even remotely comparable.

No it isn't, not for comparing national economies. PPP is more logical for comparing living standards, because it's based on a set of prices for consumer goods. This is pretty much useless for comparing national economies because of how wildly availability and prices of those goods can fluctuate from country to country. So PPP is better for per capita comparisons, while nominal is better for total GDP comparisons.

Only when talking about domestic markets and living standards
>Italy is a de facto province of a German-French led federation, whereas Russia is a massive power which pursues an independent geopolitical agenda, unlike Italy.
Then why would you want Japan there, which is a de facto protectorate of the USA?

I guess I was wrong on that one, the rest of my post is still utterly valid though.

Economy size is but one metric. Russia is vastly more influential than Italy on the whole. Italy is nothing more than a populous province of the EU. It's the fourth, soon to be third most powerful province. Its economy has stagnated for decades. It has no geopolitical agenda at all.

gladly you country consists of both

>>77320544
Because Japan is the second most populous developed country in the world.

>>77320668
And even with all the chinks and poos on the complete opposite side of the country we're still more economically prosperous than a conglomerate nation of Slavs and other undesirables despite being outnumbered 4 to 1.

What's the point of G7?Is it only a fucking propaganda tool for nationalistic purposes?The

>>77320857
No, just an excuse for the leaders of these 7 countries to sit down and discuss issues concerning the major developed powers. It's just a negotiating forum, nothing more.

>>77320764
And Italy is the most developed country lying in the strategic geopolitical theater of the Mediterranean
>>77320857
It's just a publicity stunt
>>77320885
I sincerely doubt that they can arrange any sort of serious negotiate in the span of a day and a half

>>77320922
"Negotiating" might have been an exaggeration. You're right, it's mostly publicity, but it does give them a chance to meet face to face and discuss whatever is on their minds.

>>77320922
It is also the second most populous after Egypt, so thats not a significant achievement nor of major geopolitical importance. It's not the 15th century anymore.

>>77321143
You are right, being populous would have mattered in the 15th century, stuff like having a diversified economy and good infrastructure are more important. And the Mediterranean is still of crucial importance in geopolitical scenarios, judging by all the shit that has been going down there in the last 5 years
