Previously we noted how despite the best efforts of Washington and its Western partners, the G20 summit was unable to produce a statement condemning Russia and its invasion of Ukraine. Biden clearly failed to rally allies especially among BRICS and global south countries.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is at the G20 in New Delhi representing the absent President Vladimir Putin, is gloating over the Western allies' failure at "Ukrainizing" the summit's agenda

The G20 was important once, but it's being overshadowed now by the ever expanding BRICS. (they will need a new acronym soon) With Russia as a leading player in this union of anti-American nations the other members are deferring to her. These are all free nations too, they are choosing to align themselves because they see the obvious benefits of being equal partners rather than exploited colonies under the former US system.
Under the US system for example Saudi Arabia had to sell it's oil at the price the Americans dictated, even after the rise of OPEC. Now they are free and they are colluding with Russia to set the price at a more realistic level, not at an artificially low one that benefits the US and the energy poor Western European nations. It's a gigantic shift of power and the US will soon have to buckle under the pressure of it.
