Looks like the Russian troll farms are active on FlightAware. Anytime you see MAGA, assume it’s backed by Putin.
Funny thing is Russia has hundreds of billions of dollars owed to it by Ukraine starting way before this conflict and economic manipulating to cause Russia to lose money. You could almost figure somebody is trying to float a bad economy. Even Hawaii in the US where it's said the US is self-sufficient in oil was buying cheaper low sulfur oil from Russia. Even funnier the cheaper Russian oil was being sold at over US market value with the Hawaii refinery now saying i the newspaper don't worry the price won't fluctuate much. Welcome to the international world of big finance and business. It's a game of take the other guy for as much as you can. Seems Russia got tired of it.
Or the megalomaniac under-appreciated the will of the Ukrainian patriots
Wonder how it would play out with the 2 most recent megalomaniacs at the table. Obviously, political doctrines mean nothing to them whether they be Russian or American.
So now it's not that they can't fly to countries that banned them from their airspace, they can have their aircraft repossessed in just about any country in the world? Yowza. This is turning into a clusterf*** for Russia. Good.
Good luck ever leasing a plane again if the Russians don't comply.
