Are you following the G20 summit? It’s all shades of hilarious. The so – called Western leaders have been completely impotent to stop Putin, so now they decided to hurt him where he will really feel it: they are trying to make him feel like the unpopular kid during lunch break.
Somebody not very important was sent to greet him at the airport while the important greeters were reserved for other visitors. He wasn’t given a good spot at the group photo. He is now probably weeping in his room and asking, “Mommy, why does everybody hate me?”
Tony Abbott forgot about his bluster after the Malaysian Airlines plane was shot out of the sky by Putin ‘ s employees and happily shook Putin ‘ s hand. But Abbott got his revenge against Putin! The smile he gave Putin was a shade narrower than the one given to other, more popular kids! That must have stung just as much as being shot down by terrorists.
But the hero of the summit is Canada ‘ s Stephen Harper. While shaking Putin ‘ s hand he courageously mumbled, “Get out of Ukraine!” Unfortunately, since Putin wasn’t in Ukraine but right in front of Harper, the mumbled statement had a dubious effect.
Of course, everybody soon forgot about Putin, and Tony Abbott put everybody to sleep with a long lament about his incapacity to impose a $7 tax on GP visits. Evidently, this rankles much more with him than the deaths of the passengers of MH17.
