Tony must have the Russians scared with his shirtfronting threat. They are sending their warships to protect him.

in case the link doesn't work
A few months ago, Marussia Motors and Cardesign.ru hosted a contest which asked artists to create a new presidential limo for Vladimir Putin.
The response was overwhelming as more than 120 proposals were submitted in just a matter of weeks. Now, after a couple rounds of voting, Yaroslav Yakovlev and Bernd Weel have been declared the winners.
Over the course of three weeks, the duo worked together to create an imposing new limousine which expresses "power and authority." The end result is pretty impressive as it has a stately appearance with a long hood and an upright front fascia. The stodgy styling gives way to a dynamic rear end which has a center-mounted dual-exhaust system and a distinctive rear bumper.
There's no word on whether or not Putin has seen the model but it definitely looks a lot better than the previous Zil concept.

Haha... that link
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Russian President Vladimir Putin have cleared the air ahead of the G20, meeting at the APEC summit in China to discuss the MH17 disaster. Mr Abbott demanded a public apology and compensation for the victims from Mr Putin.

And what did Russia have to say about that Tony?
No and NO.
The air isn't clear.
Why does Pres. Putin have that glazed over look in his eyes (like he would rather be anywhere else) when Abbott is in his personal space?

speaking of APEC
Chinese censors wipe Putin's move on China's first lady
At an APEC event to watch the fireworks in Beijing on Monday night, Russian President Vladimir Putin created a few of his own by slipping a shawl over the shoulders of Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
A smiling Peng kindly accepted the offer, but seconds later deftly slipped the shawl off into the hands of a waiting aide.
The small act of chivalry, quickly but politely rebuffed, unfolded live on state television, with voiceover from a CCTV anchor stating simply: "President Putin has placed a coat on Peng Liyuan."
A hashtag based on the same words quickly gained momentum on social media where the video was posted and reposted, according to Foreign Policy. However, by morning, there was little trace of it left.
Searches for the video and hashtag on China's twitter-like Weibo and messaging service WeChat turned up a smattering of comments and broken links, leaving users to surmise that China's Internet police had deemed the material too potentially damaging to share.

Obama chews gum during APEC summit, irks Chinese with uncouth behavior
โWe made this meeting so luxurious, with singing and dancing, but see Obama, stepping out of his car chewing gum like an idler,โ wrote Yin Hong, a professor of journalism at Beijingโs Tsinghua University, USA Today reported.
USA Today also posted video on its Website of Mr. Obama clearly chewing gum while walking into one APEC event.
President Obama appeared to blow off Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit of world leaders on Tuesday.
The rebuff came as the two leaders entered a hall in a conference center near Beijing, China, with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Putin remarked toward Obama.
"Yes," Obama agreed, avoiding eye contact in a manner watching reporters called cold.
