The Stars Appear to Not Be Aligned – The G20 Summit in St. Petersburg

So putting the last items in the bag for the trip to St. Petersburg.  This one looks like trouble.  Five years in to G20 Leaders Summits and St.  Petersburg would appear to have all the characteristics of a major distraction.  This would not be the first.  I certainly remember how the Greek Euro crisis drove France’s G20 Agenda at Cannes right off the cliff.  It would appear that Syria – and the use of military force in retaliation for the use of chemical weapons –  could be even more of an agenda killer.
