✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A readout of a finance ministers' meeting is a document that normally survives contact with a paragraph break; this one detours into vote totals, because every subject is ultimately a referendum on the author. Note the structure: praise the state, blame the predecessor, claim the recovery, then bill it all to the ledger of personal loyalty — as if disaster relief were a favor extended by a man rather than a function of a government. And the closing advice to sovereign nations, delivered in capital letters, is not policy; it is a man shouting into a mirror and calling it multilateralism. The signature at the bottom of his own account remains the most honest part of the post.
