The arrogance of this man. “Sure, we’re forcing your people to starve, but forget about that. Come to our 100% bullshit-free summit on How Russia is Making the World a Better Place.”

It would be nice if the ones who attended used the opportunity to tell him off in person.

That is assuming the leaders care about their people.
