War in Ukraine

[evillawyer]

That’s really disgusting. I’m curious where’s the cut off to where you too would find this vial?

Is it cool to steal from people based on the decisions of their government if they are middle class? What about lower class?

At what wealth level do you stop praising looting?

Biden CANCELS test of Minuteman III Ballistic Missiles to 'demonstrate restraint' and Avoid Angering Putin after his nuclear threat as Air Force puts on a show of force in Japan to deter China

The Pentagon announced Wednesday it will delay its nuclear missile test scheduled for this weekend in the midst of Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine so he does not 'misunderstand' the move.

Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby said the move is a show of 'restraint' after the Russian leader put his country's nuclear forces on high alert and continues his assault on Ukraine.

'This is not a step backwards in our readiness,' he assured during his press briefing Wednesday announcing cancelation of testing intercontinental Minuteman III ballistic missiles.

I’d say that’s a smart call. Don’t need anyone getting the wrong idea and responding to something that’s actually not taking place. JMO.

If he's an oligarch and politically tied in I have no issues with his luxuries abroad being used as leverage to help avert indiscriminate killing and possible/likely world war...... I'd be ok with it.

Seizing assets from private citizens because of actions taken by their governments is a bad precedent to set.

I hope they sell all of these oligarchs sh*t and use the proceeds to rebuild Ukraine, assuming they manage to hold on.

Let’s pool our PF money together and make a bid. We can dock it at Calhoun’s on game day.

As a practical matter, the level where Russians are wealthy enough to own assets in foreign countries.

Ukrainian Animal Sanctuary Evacuates Animals to Polish zoo: report

Animals from a sanctuary near Kyiv are on their way to Poland after being surrounded by Russian tanks

According to a Polish zoo, a miracle has occurred.

Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, people across the country have been evacuating their families as best as they can. For one animal sanctuary near the country's capital, its primary goal is to get its animals to safety.

I can only imagine the hilarity and chaos that would ensue getting this band of clowns and misfits in the PF together…on a yacht, no less. I’m IN!!

 

[TNnative]

Turn on the news.

Why?

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Lot of people out there looking to buy an $800M mega yacht? This is what it cost to build, not what it will sell or scrap for.

We know what @Freak is buying after the next coaching search...

Define tied in politically. Unless you believe he can unilaterally end this war, then I can’t justify actions against him.

That yacht better have a keg.

Yeah, not big on the outright asset seizures. Will inevitably be used as justification to confiscate something from someone else.

Refusing to do business with someone, I understand (e.g., not doing Nord Stream, not doing USD swaps with their central bank or refusing to do transactions with their big commercial banks, etc.).

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Lets hope this is true.

In fact, I was perusing the “lightly used luxury yacht” ads this morning while having coffee, brought to me by butler, while having a mani and pedi done by my mail order Thai “models”.

There would almost certainly be a few fisticuffs, once the whiskey gets to flowin'.

Do you apply that to none Russians too? Because if it doesn’t today, it soon will

 

[Matt2496]

From where I sit, this looks like outright theft of a private citizen’s property. This isn’t right. No government should be allowed to do this to another person’s property.

Yachts are replaceable. The human lives lost as a result of the war that these oligarchs are funding aren't.

A? As in one?? You’re about 50 or so short with this crowd, I’m afraid.

This is economic warfare.

We apply it to those on the list.

Do you have bank statements to show this?

Do you believe all Russian oligarchs are monoliths?

There’s plenty of other economic weapons available. This is theft. Do you even know for a fact the oligarch in question supports the war effort?

Or is it just “rich man bad”

The country is pretty much ran by the oligarchs. Putin is just a puppet.

There are innocent civilians dying on the ground. I feel like a wealthy oligarch's yacht should be the least of our concerns.
