At this point, why don't these International organizations simply cancel Russia’s participation all together? Russia clearly does not care what the rest of the world thinks or values. To simply invade a country for no legitimate reason is unhinged. De-nazify? De-NATO expansion? Those are both lame excuses.

What interests me about your reference to China and Russia attending the G20 summit, November, 2022 in Bali are facts that Indonesians are 98% Muslim and China has been repressing Uyghurs in Xinjiang since 2017; with more than 1 million Muslims detained in re education camps. Furthermore, the Uyghurs are mostly aTurkish speaking ethnic group. Those not detained are subjected to intense surveillance, religious restrictions, forced labour, and forced sterilization. US in 2021 described abuse as genocide. Mention of the UN objecting, but to no avail it seems, as is being echoed in the current crisis in the Ukraine. I'd like to say looking forward to the G20, for many reasons. Finally, I'm willing to state that Russia never expected the Ukraine to stand and go from being defensive to go on 'the counter offensive'. Putin's ego has to be bruised!

It will be interesting to see if Russia and Ukraine will be on the agenda for the Bali Summit Meeting of the G20.
