Fern, I rarely disagree with you. But I believe Joe Biden said what needed to be said. Everything Biden does to oppose this genocide will anger Putin. Biden is showing leadership. Perhaps if Putin dares to show up at the G20, all the leaders from democracies will turn their backs on him or simply exit the room if he enters.

There is little hope for diplomacy now. There is only carefully applied strength. There are signs that it is working.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for the Russian people to see their leader dissed on the largest international stage. Putin is a pariah and his people should see that.
