If the entire rest of the G7 can't block this idiot, then all of those nations, including mine, are good for nothing on the world stage, and multilateralism is a joke.
If Trump insists, then Germany, France, Canada, Japan and the UK must all make it crystal clear that they will walk out. PM May's optimistic, non-confrontational placating tactics must go: she must side with civilisation, the condemnation of Russia's annexation of another sovereign state's territory, and its continuing flagrant covert attacks on other nations - not least, and extremely recently, her own.
If Trump's insistence would reduce the G7/G8 to a cold-war-hotline-style Russia-US forum - with Italy as a sidekick, as if that mattered - then even if he presses ahead he will have achieved nothing.
Of course, Putin may have no interest in rejoining anyway, in which case the international relations flashpoint will be kicked into the long grass again - for another month or so, perhaps.
