If invading other countries is reason to be removed from the G20 shouldn’t that apply to all G20 countries.

[ChidVanhi]

When they can't even sit together & talk, why would we believe that these hypocrites ever solve an issue?

[ThanasisZantrimas]

They have to deal with it. The fact that the world is no longer a unipolar one.

If the western countries want to show their power by intimidating others by walkout or boycott, so be it! If as host, Indonesia cannot make its own decisions but have to bow to these unreasonable bullies, then forget about having a summit. Best still, dissolve the whole G20 and the other countries can start another grouping without these bullies.

Invasion is the reason to throw out then laws should applied for all others.
1. UK invaded & colonized half the world.
2. US invaded almost every country but according to their own state department 84.
3. France invaded and colonized just like uk.
4. Germany invaded Poland and some other countries from Africa.
5. Japan invaded in its imperial times.

These countries should go first and well before Russia.

If invading other countries is the criteria for judging which countries should not belong to the G20 - then many members on the list should not be part of the G20. Starting with the US with its many invasions, including of tiny Grenada. And all those who participated in invading Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan would also have to leave the Group.

The fact the EU did not caution US and acts as a buffer shows how dependent they are . Shame

[sweechen]

"Walking out" is a tactic used by weak countries who have nothing to be able to influence situations.

[Driziationz]

As an Indonesian, I stand by our government's stance to be neutral and stay true to the mission and objective of the G20. That is to secure future GLOBAL ECONOMIC growth and prosperity, just like OPEC's decision to be neutral to its members and stay true to its mission and objective.

Looks like the great Western countries overestimate their importance...and now that they are being challenged...are throwing a tantrum..when faced with a player who is tough!!!
Pathetic...

[satriojumeneng]

If the US walks out from G20 meeting, should the remaining countries encourage the use of non-US Dollar currencies in global trading?

[Deekumar]

America and allies invaded Serbia, Iraq, Syria and Libya still they never get punished.
Wow hypocrisy everywhere.

[torrent]

I have to admit, Russia is so special that people are walking out. Even at the height of nuclear Armageddon during the cold war, both parties were still able to talk to one another. The western leaders are children acting as adults. The West are so used to dictating things that they lost all ability to talk to someone with respect and on the same lever. They got used to talking from above at others. The world has changed and is not in the wests favour. Russia should attend just to demonstrate that they are professionals and not children who are emotional. Good on Russia.

[adr]

Well one thing is for sure, now the rules of engagement have changed. Going forward when the US and UK want to attend meetings everyone else should walk out, let’s ask questions about Iraq and Afghanistan.

[-XSX-]

According to USA, best way to solve the problem is, Do not talk and Do not sit in one room.

[yukirengma]

I wonder what america is still doing in G20... Haven't they invaded so many countries. Why such partiality.. why is Ukrain more important than all Arab nation combine

[tchamola]

It's impossible to isolate Russia from any organizations

[hrs]

Then we need to promote other countries that could replace USA and other European countries in G20.

[theashwaniverma]

Such type of actions will further damage world peace.

[skrapenpennies]

The west is like a younger brother that never gets in trouble no matter what he does and all the blame is on the older brother
