Sergey Lavrov accuses the West of Russophobia. Well duh!!

What does the Russian foreign minister expect? To be welcomed with open arms when he arrives at an international summit? Sergey Lavrov was spurned when he was at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. NO one wanted to talk to him, let alone shake his hand. He said it was "blatant Russophobia". Well of course it was. Russia has done absolutely nothing since February 24 to deserve any sort of warmth or courtesy. The fact that Lavrov is Russia's alleged top diplomat means that when he appears overseas he gets the full brunt of the West's hostility towards the country he represents. Apart from Putin himself no other Russian deserves this treatment more than Lavrov who seems to be totally dismissive of the fact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to the destruction of dozens of towns and cities and the deaths of at least 10,000 civilians. Does he not care about that? Does he think that is justified? While the war continues and for a long time after it is over, Russia will be spurned by all law-abiding people. But the truth is, it's not Russophobia against the Russian people, many of whom must hate the war as much as everyone else - in fact more so because thousands of families have lost loved ones fighting in Ukraine. It's Russophobia against Putin and his henchmen. And that includes Sergey Lavrov.
