Putin on the Ritz

World leaders were greeted by a lavish display from Vladimir Putin at Russia's G20 summit today with a decadent ball which felt a world away from the realities on the ground in Syria.


Women dressed in elaborate Marie Antoinette style costumes met the world's most powerful men and women in a display which seemed to be a celebration of luxury at the Peterhof Palace in St Petersburg.


The images were somewhat removed from the kind of photographs the leaders will be poring over tomorrow when they discuss evidence of the horrifying chemical attacks in Syria which killed 1,400 innocent civilians including children.
What a bunch of Debby Downers in the press.  Don't they know boys just want to have fun?

I wonder what message the photographer was trying to send here?
Say what you like about Putin, but he knows how to put on a show.
