WNU Editor: I was not worried about Putin being arrested in South Africa. I was more worried on what would happen to Putin's flight on his way to and back from South Africa. It is a long flight, and there are many in the West who have already made public their wish that Putin was gone.
Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Lavrov at the summit.

It is shame Putin will not attend. I am no Putin fan. As Clint said "A man has to know his limit." Putin does not know his.
Is the US sending anyone to observe or something? It would best, if they did not.
So many politicians and American apparatchiks of the ruling party have been molly coddled for so long, they believe their shit doesn't stink.
"US envoy John Kerry tells China to separate climate from politics"
Somehow Kerry thinks by the force of him showing up or due to his sheer loquaciousness, he can bend Chinese leaders to his will.
Kerry does believe in his own bullshit. He has never faced serious consequences for anything. As a group of on air hosts remarked the Democrat party always have a gig for him regardless if they hold the presidency or not. Plus, he always married billionaire rich.

There are exceptions to every rule and Kerry may be an exception to the above quote. He will probably die peacefully in his sleep believing he was an important statesman. He is, but not in the way he thinks he is.
Smart move. Russia is winning big in Ukraine and the vile west is getting desperate. Putins life would have been a very tempting target 🎯

The reality was that the west always had bad intentions and plans for Russia and Russian speaking citizens in the east of Ukraine. NATO was helping Ukraine to build a massive army to be used to steamroll Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea. Afterwards NATO membership would have been granted and voila, an isolated Russia all along the eastern flank. Not to mention it’s nuclear deterrent being greatly compromised. So what was Putin to do in your opinion? Your very highly opinionated here. What consequence would Russia have paid if it took no action at all?
Western flank I meant to say
The US wasn't there in a big way until Russia started shipping in arms and covert warriors.
Whenever a Donbas rebel leader got to uppity. The FSB put him in his place. i.e. dead.
