At a combustible G-20 foreign ministers’ meeting in New Delhi this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asked for the Ukraine war to be kept aside. All through the West’s wars of old in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans, the G-20 kept an arm’s length from geopolitics, Lavrov even made a To folks sitting in Brussels and Washington, these statements might sound comically theatrical and par for the course.
