    New Russian Air Force Tu-214R spy plane tracked as it flew close to the border with Ukraine. http://theaviationist.com/2015/06/18...ng-the-border/ … pic.twitter.com/MwMTzFR7w5

    probably not operational even though the route seems to suggest they are testing some new sensor in a real scenario..

    Putin and his FM has tended to act as if Russia is above the rule of law and both seem to also be in denial of what contracts, court decisions and seizures all have in common.

    After the Swedish ruling on Yukos Russia had a set time to respond--they simply did not respond thus the court moved to seize--everyone with a credit card knows how the failure to pay a debt works--seems the Russians do not.

    Initially there is a 50B USD court seizure order with another 100B USD Yukos outstanding decision coming and it will also go against Russia.

    On top of all that Russian companies have a total of 100B USDs in company bond debt coming due the second half of 2015 and a large number of them will not be paid back--thus more court decisions and seizures are coming at Russia.

    So 150B USD due for Yukos--and another 100B USD due on company bonds equals 250B USD--just about all of their strategic foreign currency reserves would be destroyed.

    No wonder they are over reacting----

    When the US cannot and or will not provide drones to the Ukraine then their civil society crowdsources them.

    Second such demo in the last week--seems those so called ethnic Russian Ukrainians are growing tired of their "liberators".
