This weekend the G20 summit will be held in Brisbane, Australia. Nice junket for the heads of the countries involved.
Attendees will include:
Putin, Obama, Stephen Harper, David Cameron, Chinkese Pres, Nip PM, Dot Indian PM, Angela Merkel, Messican Pres, Saudi Arabian King Abdullah and many others.
We hope and pray that Putin puts his boot into Obola (and Harper and Cameron), and tells them how it should be done.
Meanwhile, Mr Putin has brought a naval convoy to just north of Australia to tell Obola what he thinks of him.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has described the convoy of heavily armed Russian warships cruising international waters towards Australia’s north as part of “freedom of navigation”.
The Prime Minister was adament his discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin to date had focused on responsibility over the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
Asked whether he would bring up the warships with Mr Putin when he arrives in Australia for the G20, Mr Abbott said those discussions had “focused on a crime”.
“The downing of MH17, that’s a crime,” he said.
“Obviously the full circumstances are being investigated... but plainly at the very least a missile was fired with reckless indifference to the outcome.. to human life.
“Under our laws that’s manslaughter at the very least. But warships in international waters, that’s just part of freedom of navigation.”
Yet a senior government source last night said there was no doubt about Russia’s intentions.
“There is no doubt this is posturing, to show the power of the Russian fleet,” the source said.
Last night, Defence confirmed the Russian convoy, including at least one high powered missile cruiser, were sailing international waters to Australia’s north.
Defence is monitoring the fleet of four ships, which include a cruiser, a destroyer, a tug boat and a refueller, which were believed to be in the Coral Sea, south of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea on Wednesday evening.
Australian naval ships HMAS Parramatta and HMAS Stuart were ordered to “crash sail” to the Coral Sea earlier this week in a bid to “greet” the Russian fleet. It is believed HMAS Parramatta arrived on Tuesday night and HMAS Stuart was due to arrive last night.Channel 7 news reported that Russian warships were “steaming toward Australia” in a “show of strength”. It reported that it was a “defiant show of force from the super power, ahead of this weekend’s G20 meeting of world leaders” in Brisbane.
Australian Defence chiefs have been monitoring the movements of the Russian convoy for a week after they were spotted north of Papua New Guinea.
When the fleet turned south between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands an Australian P-3 Orion surveillance aircraft was sent to shadow the war ships.
It is understood Mr Putin has ordered the fleet to show-off the might of the Russian navy in the wake of Australia’s international condemnation of Mr Putin after MH17 was shot down by Russian backed rebels.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott had vowed to “shirt-front” Mr Putin at the G20 summit in Brisbane.
The Russian fleet left Vladivostok on October 23.
Pacific Fleet spokesman Captain First Rank Roman Martov was quoted by Russian media as saying: “The objectives of this campaign is to ensure naval presence and show the flag in the region.”
Russia has made no request for a Port Visit in Australia and would be required to give 48 hours notice.
