-btw that's the Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusgolu giving Putin the side-eye as he shares a laugh with MBS.
Well, they were seated next to each other. For whatever reason. My take on MBS is he is a reformer who wants SA to move toward more open engagement with the world. I’m sure there are other motives.
Mevlut Cavusgolu is constantly making propaganda to support the perspective of Erdogan the Islamist. None of Erdogan’s yes men have any sense of humor, they are never comfortable in their own skin. They never laugh.
Putin and MBS appear to be comfortable in their own skin and are laughing. This would be immediately bothersome for Cavusgolu.
As Angela apparently concluded herself.
Quite a picture for a body language expert to analyze.
