I say it's an opportunity to arrest him for war crimes.

1. from the article:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose brutal invasion of Ukraine has sparked worldwide condemnation, expects to attend the Group of 20 summit later this year in Bali, according to Russia’s ambassador to Indonesia.

“So far, his intention is ... he wants to,” ambassador Lyudmila Vorobieva said at a news conference on Wednesday, per Reuters.

Vorobieva suggested that the dictator’s appearance would be appropriate because the meeting is a platform for solving economic problems, not Ukraine, Reuters reported.

However, talks among the United States and its Western allies have intensified about revoking Russia’s membership from the G-20, a group made up of the world’s leading economies. U.S. President Joe Biden has dubbed Putin a “war criminal” and “murderous dictator,” and has enacted sanctions to debilitate Russia’s economy for its assault on Ukraine, which has so far killed more than 900 civilians.

13. Well, Russia's economy won't be one of the top economies

by the time the conference comes around.

Heck, I doubt it is right now.

Has their stock market reopened?

2. Card

I’d like to see him pay for his hotel bill with a Russian credit card.

3. That'll be

29,230,467 rubles, Mr. P.

4. No, he can't be arrested

That would destroy hundreds of years of settled international law, and would mean that world
leaders could no longer travel to conferences because any gang of state thugs could arrest a national head of state.

8. Milosevic resigned. Then later charged with war crimes.

"Milošević resigned from the Yugoslav presidency amid demonstrations after the disputed presidential election of 24 September 2000, and was arrested by Yugoslav federal authorities on 31 March 2001 on suspicion of corruption, abuse of power, and embezzlement."

Later he was charged by the Hague. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/milosevic-goes-on-trial-for-war-crimes

The civilized world needs to step in to stop war crimes. What Milosevic taught tyrants is to stay in power. No matter how.

12. He was arrested by his own country

He wasn’t grabbed by another nation while on a diplomatic trip.
What would prevent the Russians from overpowering US security and arresting Biden for what they consider his crimes?
This would be illegal under international law and would be considered an act of war no different than assassinating a head of state.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

14. That is exactly what I posted.

What is your solution to a country that flaunts ideals and the raison d'etre of the security council of the UN?

"The Security Council has primary responsibility, under the United Nations Charter, for the maintenance of international peace and security. It is for the Security Council to determine when and where a UN peace operation should be deployed."

Surely his propaganda that "there is no war" only has a limited audience. This is our last best chance to protect the innocent from murderous tyrants.

5. Cancel it.

6. Doesn't he have to be invited? Seems like other countries can cut this narcissist short.

[bahboo]

7. turn your back on the fascist fuck...

and walk out, if he shows up...the entire summit...

[lark]

9. First - he gets kicked out of the G20,

then their security people take him into custody when he tries to crash the proceedings and he won't be let go until all the Russians are all out of Ukraine or have surrendered if the tanks won't move.

Nice dream.

10. They must arrest the war criminal.

He's using horrendous bombs and missiles against civilians.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

17. Agreed.

Somewhere soon a line has to be drawn. Otherwise all of these organizations have no teeth.

11. "arrest/war crimes" - attending because toning down the gall is too much to ask

But who is he going to eat with - the ghosts of shitler & Staleen? And will there be enough hostels for all the food tasters?

15. In a related event

The CIA plans to be at the G20 summit..

16. I do not think Indonesia would arrest Putin.

That would be really, really surprising to me.
