Western leaders confront Putin at G-20 with threat of more sanctions

“I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper told Putin at the summit in Brisbane, Australia, according to his spokesman Jason MacDonald. Putin’s response to the comment was not positive, MacDonald said in an email, without elaborating."

Putin should just wear a T-shirt with "Up yours" on the front so he won't have to verbally respond to these comments, lol.

Serrano, I like the t-shirt idea!

The sanctions have worked as planned, right? Not.

"Putin’s isolation was evident with his placing on the outer edge for the formal G-20 leaders’ photograph. "

Compare that to the photo at the meeting in Beijing where Putin was on Xi's right and Obama was very far to the left (symbolic?). Which pic is more telling to you? BRICS rising.

“I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper told Putin. What they will not say is that Putin answered " I can not do that since we are not there" Harper is one of the least liked Canadian politicians we had and least liked P M we ever had. We Canadians see him for what he is; self centered self admiring narcissist minority supported dictator. Harper is trying to imitate Putin but while Putin has lots of brains Harper is just an empty balloon.

Putin is a slimy little psycho. After supplying Syria with Sarin the grubby little gangster stabs the Ukraine in the back. This midget madman will carry Russia to hell for his own demented delusions as he missed the train to Stalin-town.

"The sanctions have worked as planned, right? Not."

Please post any evidence otherwise.

"Compare that to the photo at the meeting in Beijing where Putin was on Xi's right and Obama was very far to the left (symbolic?). Which pic is more telling to you? BRICS rising.'

Is being to Xi's right something to be proud of?

Sanctions ought to target the crook Putin's personal fortune, obtained from corruption and bribery. Use the money to arm the Ukrainians and help them defend their country.

I hope that during the month the relations will be better?!

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the European Union was considering further financial sanctions against Russian individuals because of the crisis in Ukraine.

Little known fact about Putins family, Great German Chancellors, and economical sanctions :

Putin's family had a really great experience in this subject - disgrace of German Chacellers

Putins are from Peterburg/Leningrad

So during WW II German Chancellor Adolf Hitler put most heavy economical sanction on this nothern city

Leningrad 3 years was blockaded by Germans and 1 million inhabitants (from 2,5 millions) die from hunger diseases, German bombs and shells

Elder brother of Vladimir Putin - Viktor Putin also die in this time (he was a little child of course)

But the city did not surrender to the enemy....

“I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper told Putin

The one thing Canadians and Aussies have in common is - we tell it like it is! Putin needs to be put in his place - we're not going to follow him back to his KGB glory days..
