Last week's global agenda was the G20 country leaders' summit. The decisions taken in the global meetings and boards, where high-level meetings are held and which are closely related to Turkey, are naturally important. The G20 summit has the world's largest economy, including our country; Consisting of the United States, Germany, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, France, South Africa, South Korea, India, England, Italy, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the European Union Commission, mostly the brains of imperialism, the pawns of capitalism consist of countries that exploit the world.
 
I guess there is no need to say who owns the lion's share, which countries are in the position of ornamental plant-refugee, and whose horn is blowing. They meet every year, they direct the world like the steward of the global village.
 
MAGAZINE SIZE OF THE SUMMIT
 
The classic agenda for this year's summit; topics such as global warming/climate change, drought, hunger, pandemic and economic developments after it. At the meeting, “What decisions were made?” The issue is not on anyone's agenda. The "family photo frame" taken after the summit, if any, is the most curious thing. Those who are obsessed with corona in the process we are in, "Which leaders are masked and which are not?" he was in trouble. “Leaders are masked while posing, unmasked in their bilateral conversations!” What does the mask cover? It is not clear which of these poses are intended for the public.
 
In the height race, some ask, “Which leader is taller?”, “Who was in the foreground in the photo frame?” Others are obsessed with which leader sits at the table with whom. “How did that leader shake hands? Who grabbed whose shoulder? What message did he want to convey with his facial expressions?” such trivial details.
 
Moreover, who went on which plane? Who was in your fleet? “The standout name on the team”, “the brand of the firstlady's bag” etc. such as magazine-oriented works are moved to the screens. As a society, we are only interested in the magazine aspect of the business, and it does not attract attention. New discussions are added to the discussions, which are not limited to this and continue with different aspects; Experts(!) who read facial features and interpret mimic movements come into play.
 
Holding the other side's hand first is a sign of superiority, losing your arm is a sign of defeat, keeping your hand on top means I am strong, touching from the right means we are friends, touching from the left means I am alert to the dangers from you.
 
We are faced with a situation as if it is in the hands of a mixture of magician, fortune teller and healer, which is completely imaginary and has no real meaning.
 
BIDEN MEETING ON THE AGENDA AND BACKSTAGE
 
The three-to-five-dish pool screen, which evaluated the political agenda on television, was left in the hands of an accredited commentator. Since we are held captive by well-known commentators who comment on almost every subject from medicine to economy, from agriculture to industry, from entrepreneurship to education, and who do not say, "I have no knowledge on this subject" in any field, we do not have the chance to hear behind the scenes from the articulated pen and speech connoisseurs present.
 
Fortunately, although the content of these meetings is reported, the audience does not watch, no one listens. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what you talk about.
 
The public opinion of our country was locked in the appointment given by the US President Biden days ago. Will the meeting take place? How many minutes will it take and what will the pose be like?
 
The long-awaited meeting, which -there can be no mistake in simile - who did not make an appointment even when he had been to his own country, was the most popular issue on the agenda. “How did Biden greet you at the welcome? What does the gesture with his hand mean?” questions and interviews with different meanings! Meanwhile, a deputy; It's also really funny that the US President hinted at his sign and said, "He said this for the President." If there is no problem with the level of intelligence, it means that even his own proxies have started to make fun of him.
 
UNEXPECTED EARLY RETURN
 
Turkey's non-participation in the 26th Climate Change Conference program of the United Nations (UN) that will continue in Glasgow, Scotland, attended by approximately 120 world leaders, also raised questions. Although the reason was explained as security, it did not satisfy the public sufficiently.
 
Indeed, although we have been in the G20 for many years as claimed, we are not among the 20th largest economy in the world today. We are now 21st by relegation, are we not there for him? Or was it preferable to ignore the climate because of the agenda?
 
Or was the only goal from the summit to meet with Biden? That also came true, the purpose was fulfilled, are we done?
 
You know, sometimes you go to a ceremony, the purpose is to reach a statesman you want to meet there without an appointment and convey your message. As a matter of fact, journalists who have just started their career in Ankara are strongly advised to "Don't miss these opportunities". Was ours such an opportunity?
 
As a result; What was really talked about at the G20? After the summit, there was a new military intervention in Syria. For the operation, someone rubbed their hands and a ready continent was waiting. We don't know what happened. No one has a discussion on the content of the summit on their agenda. Which country was planned to be invaded-exploited, in how many countries blood will be shed. While these are ignored, only the poses are on the agenda; The pose wasn't bad!
