The David Hunter Perspective - 2022-07-13

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)  Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov Walked Out of G-20 Foreign Minister's Meeting in Bali?:  Mr. Lavrov was accused by G-7 member foreign ministers of war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine, and they refused to join him in a group  "Family Photo" at the G-20 event.   So Lavrov left the G-20 meeting shortly after delivering his remarks on July 8th.   Others said his refusal to listen to their points of view was 'disrespectful'.  Was it?  

2)  Is India On The Side of Democracies against Russia and China?:  India has joined the "Quad" as a new 'pro-democracy' military group opposing Chinese expansion in the Indo-Pacific region.  But India has taken a 'neutral' stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Europe.  And it continues to purchase large amounts of military equipment for Russia.  Can we really count on India as a strategic ally in any wider conflict? 

3)  Former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe was Assassinated  by Lone Gunman:  He was killed by a former Navy officer, who claims Abe was involved in a dangerous religious 'cult'.   Is the Navy officer crazy, or was Abe really involved in such a religious group? If so, what was it doing,  and why is it considered dangerous?
