Marco Rubio pulls plug on traditional photo op at meeting of foreign ministers after about one-third of countries threaten boycott

The traditional “family photo” to open the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting has been abruptly cancelled in the US after a host of nations – including Australia and the UK – refused to appear beside the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, pulled the plug after several European officials, the UK and Australia made it known they would boycott or walk out of the snapshot that often kicks off such international gatherings.

Rubio still opened the talks in Atlanta with an appeal for unity on the issues that threaten international security and trade.

Thanks, Professor of Nazis Apologia 101.🤓☠️👍

...something.... something.... doomed to repeat History Channel?

Lol. This guy is on the side of the Wagner group

[-] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago

Wagner Group doesn't even exist anymore. Dude tried to coup Putin with a truck load of NATO cash and got shot out of the sky. 👍

Every Russian opposition figure you settle on turns out to be Nazis, from Pussy Riot to Navalny to "Russian Volunteer Corps".

You mean like Rusich and the Russian imperial legion?

It must be embarrassing being you. Pussy Riot aren't even Nazis. I challenge you to find a source that isn't Russia propaganda that says so.

[-] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 day ago

Bro. They post swastikas. You can say what you about freedom of speech and whether they should be prosecuted for it, but Pussy Riots are Nazis.

Yes, the Russian Imperial Legion are fascists. Fuck yeah, they are.

They're the opposition to Putin, not his supporters.

Your Western liberals' golden child Navalny marches in their rallies. He called Muslims "vermin and cockroaches". He's a Nazi.

You're only proving my points. Thanks.👍

Russia hates Nazis so much they fund the Wagner Group.

While fighting for him.

Says the guy who says Pussy Riot are Nazis.

[-] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago

It's not about the charges necessarily at all. It's a thin veneer covering their underlying fascism, and it's projected deflection for them throwing the word around against Putin and Lukashenko. Their boyfriends don't pretend at all. Dmitry "Enteo" Tsorionov is absolute scum. Read about him for yourself.

Follow your leader Nazi trash

[-] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Putin is absolute scum and you sure like to defend him.

[-] pinto@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You know these Tankie Nazis would never want to move to Russia while enjoying the west for having clean water and not being arrested for queer.
