"Why does the G7 exist anyway? "

France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and West Germany formed the Group of Six in 1975 (Canada joined the following year) to provide a venue for the non-Communist powers to address pressing economic concerns, which included inflation and a recession sparked by the OPEC oil embargo. Cold War politics invariably entered the group’s agenda.

The European Union has participated fully in the G7 since 1981 as a “nonenumerated” member.

I am sure most right wingers ask the same question. If they studied it they would know how valuable it is.

Cooperation is the foundation of civilization.

How do you think we defeated Hitler?
