If Indonesia have any credibility or showed leadership, it should condemn the Russian invasion first, and tell Putin not to come, otherwise Indonesia will have no face as it shows itself as outwardly supporting the Russian aggresion and invasion of Ukraine. It will remind other asian country and malaysia of what they( Indonesia) tried to do in the 60's when they tried to invade malaysia.

Your team writes an insulting article to this nation claiming that its leaders is lost at sea even before they decide. In fact you are pushing for the decision you like to see ignoring that Indonesia should and will act in her own interest, not the west media's. Just because Biden says Russia is to be kicked out of the G20, do you expect Indonesia simply act like a lapdog like so many of you? I have been looking for good journalism to subscribe to and AS is failing the test.

Excessive politeness. On many levels, it holds Indonesia back from becoming the leader this region needs so badly.
