G7: Coercive with a side of dishonest false charm, they start the war against the Global South
The first shock is the title of the combined completed G7 statement. Take a look:
G7 Hiroshima Leaders’ Communiqué
Now take a look at a different presentation:
G7 Leader’s Comminiqué: Hiroshima
But no, it is the Hiroshima Leader’s Communiqué, which speaks volumes. It is the leaders of those that perpetrate atrocities like Hiroshima. If that is not a warning, I don’t know what is. The U.S. chose Hiroshima as the site of the G7 meeting in order to send a message that the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on a city before, and will do so again!
With cold-blooded cynicism, these seven leaders plus two unelected, gathered in a war council. Russia is in the cross-hairs, China is in the cross-hairs and so is the Global South. Carrot and stick, Stick and carrot, Cookies on the Maidan – Whatever works. The leaders of the “Big Seven” countries, grown in the incubator of the American political system, with cold-blooded cynicism, on the graves of hundreds of thousands of victims of the US atomic bombing, in the presence of the president of the killer country, talked about “peace.” Initially, that is. They could not remain with the smoke and mirrors, and soon the peace talk deteriorated into a massive list of what exactly they will be doing to everyone else in the world, wrapped in a cosy blanket of self-interest and messianism. They know better and are legends in their own minds!
The final G7 Hiroshima Leaders’ Communiqué starts with “We, the Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), met in Hiroshima for our annual Summit on May 19-21, 2023, more united than ever in our determination to meet the global challenges of this moment and set the course for a better future. Our work is rooted in respect for the Charter of the United Nations (UN) and international partnership.”
Then, in the formal documents, the Charter of the United Nations fell by the wayside and it was all the rules-based order. But, they’ve changed the nomenclature as they know that we are wise to the rules-based order. Now, and further in their false document, it is the rule of law, and now and again they will only respect the UN Charter to the benefit of countries, large and small. Yeah right! Since when? This is what the public elite of the Global West is now racking their brains over, hiding behind high-flown arguments about “restoring the world economy,” which is bursting at the seams precisely because of the ambitions of these self-styled “architects of the world order.”
The 40-page Leader’s communiqué is a document full of heinous smoke and mirrors, a document full of false charm and begging, a document falsifying their part in the world, and as far as I saw, they never asked anyone if anyone else is interested in their product or project. “We will work with our international partners to achieve a world that is human-centered, inclusive, and resilient, leaving no one behind. In that spirit, we welcomed the participation of the Leaders of Australia, Brazil, Comoros, Cook Islands, India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam.
The language is friendly, the promise is thrilling but in reality, the threat is chilling.
They flew Zelensky in while he was going to address the meeting via video conference initially. This was a connivance in itself, as Zelensky (in a US, or French military aircraft) suddenly became the main course unbeknownst to the guests. However, the stunt to drop the Ukrainian president in at the last moment apparently angered Brazil’s delegation, while India stood firm that it will seek out its own political and economic interests.
Just after the visiting invitees had to swallow a dose of Zelensky, not at all on the event calendar, (they lie, they cheat, they steal), Macron started pleading for the Global South to Stand with Ukraine: The French president has admitted that the G7 summit in Japan was a great opportunity to get the likes of Brazil and India on board, as Western efforts to isolate Russia continue to fail. Emmanuel Macron claimed Global South nations are ‘exposed to one discourse’ and Vladimir Zelensky was in Hiroshima to change that.
So, they lied to their guests right from the start, and offered them a non-stop buffet of Zelensky while “championing international principles and shared values.” Even the guests were enticed by a false premise that they would only have to endure a on-line Zelensky, because everyone is just plain sick of Zelensky.
The document has a raft of threats to Russia and a raft of others. It is all the old threats warmed over. As such, Iran must never have nuclear weapons, Syria cannot be mentioned without mentioning chemical weapons, and so it goes on to Libya, Yemen, Africa, Sudan, Kosovo, Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and with the temerity to tell Afghanistan what to do. Scolding or charming, whichever sounds appropriate without taking one iota of responsibility for their own egregious deeds in all of those countries. There is nothing new there except that they will deepen their ties everywhere and that France and the Yellow Vests do not merit a mention. This is interspersed with regular condemnations of Russia and a call on China containing the usual accusations plus another one: “We call on China to press Russia to stop its military aggression, and immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Ukraine.” What? China has troops in Ukraine? Creating another lying media myth they are!
Lavrov said immediately that decisions of G7 Hiroshima summit are aimed at containing both Russia and China.
China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson’s Remarks on G7 Hiroshima Summit’s Hyping up of China-related Issues:
The international community does not and will not accept the G7-dominated Western rules that seek to divide the world based on ideologies and values, still less will it succumb to the rules of exclusive small blocs designed to serve “America-first” and the vested interests of the few. G7 needs to reflect on its behavior and change course.
Let me make it clear that gone are the days when a handful of Western countries can just willfully meddle in other countries’ internal affairs and manipulate global affairs. We urge G7 members to catch up with the trend of the times, focus on addressing the various issues they have at home, stop ganging up to form exclusive blocs, stop containing and bludgeoning other countries, stop creating and stoking bloc confrontation and get back to the right path of dialogue and cooperation.
Lula da Silva avoided a private meeting with Zelensky, the first press stated. Yet Lula explained that Zelensky was late to the meeting or he simply did not turn up. The Brazilian leader explained that he was prepared to meet with Zelensky, but he “did not come” at the appointed time.
Indian PM Modi called for UN reform. He then departed for a visit to Papua New Guinea where the Prime Minister James Marape called on him to be the voice of the Global South at top level meetings. Prime Minister James Marape said his region is affected by geopolitics and power plays – mentioning the Ukraine conflict. Yet PNG is set to sign a defense agreement with US State Sec. Antony Blinken later – as Washington makes its own move to counter China. “Our people have been left behind,” Marape said, stressing that a shared past with colonialism means India can be a voice for many. 14 leaders attended the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation.
Rishi Sunak has declared China the biggest threat to security, while speaking to press in Japan at the G7 summit. Sunak called Beijing ‘increasingly authoritarian at home and assertive abroad’.
Besides more sanctions and more weapons and money for Ukraine announced as part and parcel of the G7 meeting, a Japanese Military Hospital will now treat Ukrainian Soldiers… in Tokyo!, 8,000 miles away? The Self-Defence Force Central Hospital will open its doors to foreign troops for the first time. The Japanese Minister of Defence and the Ukrainian ambassador will hash out the details, and Japan will likely bankroll most of it.
We note a clear trend – the anti-world front is consolidating. The West no longer accepts neutrality in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. The world is being pressurized to decide. In such a situation, the initiative cannot be left in the hands of the United States and its allies. If we continue to let them in, they will be able to reduce the number of our supporters and neutral-minded countries. Diplomats from the countries of the Global South say bluntly: the situation has changed dramatically in recent years. Western countries have lost their leverage – and now they need the support of the Global South. Accordingly, non-Western countries have the opportunity to impose their ultimatums on the US and Europe. This is happening more and more often – for example, with demands for the payment of reparations. And many failures in the politics of the West today are manifested precisely by the fact that it is very unusual for them to find themselves in the position of having to ask and their discomfort is clear. They’re going into competition with Belt and Road and have set aside something like 600 billion for this purpose. Ursula von der Leyden said that the European bloc needs to outcompete Beijing’s Belt and Road investment initiative. (Please do laugh heartily now. Danny Haiphong commented: So the EU, a bloc of US vassals that allowed Nord Stream to be destroyed by the Biden administration and has not invested in any infrastructure in decades, plans to outcompete China’s multi-trillion dollar global infrastructure and trade network that has thousands of projects and 140+ nations participating? LMAO!)
Can you imagine such a conversation with one of the smaller Global South Countries? Can you imagine the coercion? “We heard you need a bridge. We will give you a loan from a combined IMF/Word Bank/G7 fund, and will build your bridge for you. Specifications will be that the bridge can transport NATO artillery vehicles, and just over there we will build a NATO base, just for you!. It will be a wonderful project and surely it will be for the good of your community and country.” No, this is not my fever dream, this is the exact offer that was made to the small island states in the Pacific. This G7 is continuing the war against Russia, they still think they can deter or control China, and now the war is for all of the Global South Countries.
This is why I say that a policy of non-alignment for many countries will not function in the future. They are going to have to take decisive sides and decisive action. This is not because the non-aligned countries want to take sides, but because they will be forced to. This is why they flee to BRICS as BRICS is now seen as a safe haven.
Maria Zakharova: “Washington, Brussels, and London are in a state of insanity. They are openly pressuring all countries without exception to follow Western restrictive measures against Russia, doing this at the public, private and individual levels.” Zelensky was pretending to be sad about the fall Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and compared the city to the aftermath of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. Maria Zakharova immediately commented that both Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and Japan’s Hiroshima were destroyed by the official Washington and that is the only comparison that we can make.
So, the State of Insanity has declared war on everyone in caring words. The Empire wanted you to hate the Soviets. The Empire wanted you to hate Cuba, Iraq & Afghanistan. Now, they want you to hate Russia, China, and your neighbor. Overcoming America’s enemy addiction is of course a worthy cause, but I doubt if it would be possible short of a generational shift.
The diabolical was on full display at this G7 meeting. Fantastic war profiteers – win or lose. Today we have 300,000 dead Ukrainians and an expansion of Russia’s borders. I hope somebody got something out of the deal – Raytheon? McDonnell Douglas? BlackRock?
The empire thinks they can still use Zelensky. So, here is his future:
Up to now, Russia held the military cards with China following fast. China held the economic engine of the world, with certain Global South countries doing well and following fast. Alternative supply lines and road and railways and even an Air Silk Road is being constructed fast. De-dollarization is proceeding apace. Yet, the danger from the State of Insanity has never been this clear and present. Our Global South, the Global Majority is going to have to fight with more than only words. They are going to have to choose a side, and remove the malign influence of the warmongers in word and deed from their countries, local organizations and regional organizations.
The war for the Global South has been declared by the G7 and cronies, and has just started on all vectors.
An epochal, civilizational transition is taking place in our world, encompassing a move to multipolarity, sometimes called pluripolarity, getting back to International Law instead of a Rules Based International Order, and Fair and Non-Coercive Trade between nations as well as Accepted, Fair and valid Instruments of Economy. The power balance is shifting.
Do not take this lightly. War has just been declared on every person in this world who wants to be productive, kind to their neighbors and community, creative, healthy, and sovereign. The Warmongering State of Insanity is after your blood, after mine, and the citizens of their own countries. We are now together, no matter where you hail from.

Formal English translation of the Russian commentary in the form of a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, posted in its entirety.
The summit of the so-called Group of Seven ended in Hiroshima, Japan. Its main result is a set of statements saturated with questionable passages of an anti-Russia and anti-China nature. Thus, the G7 summit has once again produced politicised decisions aimed at drawing dividing lines in international relations.
The Group of Seven used to be an association whose members coordinated their positions on various issues on the global agenda. However, it has now irreversibly deteriorated, becoming an “incubator” which, under Anglo-Saxon leadership, hatches destructive initiatives and subverts global stability. The initiatives are subsequently imposed on pro-US minions made up of NATO, the EU and other satellites of Washington.
The implausibility of G7 nations’ claims to be the global guarantor of financial and economic stability became conclusively evident to everyone during the 2008-2009 crisis. The international events of the past few years indicate that G7 is unable to offer anything productive in either politics or diplomacy. Panic over the objective process of the emergence of multipolarity and the destruction of the US-centred hegemony that used to allow the West to plunder the world, makes the Group’s members put every effort into fanning Russophobic and Sinophobic hysteria.
G7 has become literally fixated on an all-out confrontation with Russia. Thanks to the US efforts, it has assumed the role of a headquarters for designing sanction measures and other elements of a “hybrid” war against our country including determining the scale and schedule of Western weapons supplies to the Kiev regime. Today, this is the reason for the existence of this association. This is confirmed by the outcome of the summit. Obstinately showcasing their determination to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, the G7 leaders brought the leader of the Kiev regime they controlled to the summit, and thus turned the Hiroshima event into the ultimate propaganda show.
Washington, assisted by London, is not only pursuing G7’s destructive agenda within the Group but also forcing its allies to agree with decisions that are detrimental to them; it not only makes them raise military spending, which is already substantial, to flood the Kiev regime with arms but also shifts the burden of responsibility for sustaining refugees onto EU states, hooks those countries onto the US “gas needle,” and maintains an openly protectionist policy aimed at turning the G7 partners into an industrial and raw material appendix in the hi-tech area. The so-called Euro grandees have completely lost their autonomy and have admitted the Anglo-Saxons’ superiority by handing over the management of G7 to them. The European governments have completely disengaged from the interests of their own population.
The joint sanction pressure mechanism set up by G7 has caused the global food and energy crises. The decision endorsed in 2022 to introduce the so-called price caps on seaborne Russian crude oil and oil products to third countries provokes grave misbalances in the global trading platforms, undermines the basics of the market performance of the global economy and directly contradicts WTO norms and international law which the Westerners are prone to resort to if it benefits them. It is the countries that are most in need that are affected by the barriers established by the G7 countries on supplies of Russian food products.
The G7 experiments on energy transition and the introduction of green technologies do not facilitate a sustainable energy balance due to their unreliability. High-income countries can afford such novelties but imposing them on countries that have been suffering from energy hunger for a long time undermines the foundation for sustainable growth of the national economies.
Each of the G7 nations prides itself on its track record regarding protection of democratic values. Meanwhile, none of these club members can boast of their reputation concerning respect for international rights and freedoms. The history of all those nations is aligned with oppression and denial of others’ rights. The Eurasian members of G7 are former colonial or expansionist powers who built their wellbeing on exploiting and expropriating others’ assets. Regarding the US and Canada, for decades, their native residents had to suffer forceful relocation, bleaching of their cultural identity, abuse and genocide.
The G7 members ought to show an example of democracy in practice rather than unleash the media and NGOs under their control on “obstinate” governments. We see how “humanely” Europe is settling the migration issue and “pacifying” social unrest and how the US cracks down on the opposition. For many years, the West has been patronising the Nazi regime in Kiev and turning a blind eye to all the horrible things it does. We repeatedly asked them how that translates into European ideals of humanism and democratic values. The West has given no answer.
The rules the G7 is promoting are their own ideology and system of values. They serve particular and not common interests of the international community. G7 views the independent policy of third countries as a threat to the infamous “rules-based order.” Various steps are taken against the disobedient – from economic pressure and information aggression to blackmail, threats, and military intervention.
The G7 countries not only stained their hands with illegal military interventions against sovereign states and with the arrangement of coups d’etat. Their predatory business keeps pumping out the resources of the Global East and South without looking back at the repercussions for the environment and in violation of labour standards. The relevant facts are well known.
On a parallel track, every effort is made to politicise the performance of multilateral formats, primarily the G20, the most representative and truly leading forum for global economic cooperation. The attempts by the G7 countries to pose as champions of law and justice in international affairs are a mockery of history and common sense.
The cynical and blasphemous choice of Hiroshima as the venue for the summit needs a special comment. Tokyo and Washington refuse to admit their responsibility for unleashing an aggressive war in the Far East and the barbaric nuclear bombing of Japanese cities that was not dictated by military needs but required by the Americans to test nuclear ammunition. Before the G7 summit, the Biden administration, in its usual arrogant manner, said that Joe Biden did not intend to apologise for those actions. As if anyone doubted it.
In this context, the US leaders’ arguments about their “leadership” in arms control and nonproliferation look hypocritical. So do the lamentations of the G7 countries about the need to combat the mythical Russian nuclear threat. We have repeatedly pointed out where the threat really comes from. It is not Moscow, but Washington, London, and other capitals of the “collective West.”
Against such an unattractive backdrop, the G7 countries are not shy about flirting with non-Western states so as to bring them to their side and not allow them to develop ties with Russia and China. At the same time, it is obvious that the G7 is the main factor in exacerbating global problems. It cannot reflect the interests of other centres of development, especially those of the Asia-Pacific region, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
We believe that our assessments of the G7 and its destructive actions are shared by the majority of the world community.

Further Chinese response via Global Times
‘Anti-China Workshop’: Beijing Slams Japan, UK Over G7 Summit Bias
Beijing reacted furiously to Saturday’s G7 session focused on Taiwan, nuclear arms, economic coercion, and human rights abuses, slamming it as an “anti-China workshop” via state-backed Global Times.
“The US is pushing hard to weave an anti-China net in the Western world,” the editorial wrote, mirroring Moscow’s assessment of the group as an “incubator” for anti-Russian and anti-Chinese hysteria.
On Sunday, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weeding summoned the Japanese envoy to protest Tokyo’s collaboration to “smear and attack China, grossly interfering with China’s internal affairs and violating the basic principles of international law.”

@ Amarynth Thanks! Hope the waders helped. I see you got the formal translation. It makes sense, that’s the official word.

This is an incredibly comprehensive article on the role of the G7, its methods and coercive practices. It’s long but well worth reading more than once. Even Pepe likes it! Thanks Amarynth
That the G7 chose Hiroshima might have to do with the threat of ‘forced submission’. This symbolism in its US charm will not go unnoticed in especially China, and even more the role of Japan in this show.
Thanks for your article and efforts, amarynth.
Cheers and stay safe, Rob
Just wonderful! Pepe tweeted out this aricle!
