Ukraine and Only Ukraine. If it isn't about Ukraine then fuck off

IANAL. What is the legal rationale for seizing the floating property of (alleged) oligarchs?

Who or what is the driving force behind such a seizure? Just asking.

This is the gist of it. The actual exec order will spell it out, I just couldn’t find it.

He only owed 18 million pounds. That’s probably not enough to be the fuel bill!

maybe I watch too many movies , but wouldn’t you need to have balls of steel and a sizeable mob of henchmen to buy an ex-oligarch super yacht ?

I can imagine the oligarchs just rocking up one day in the future and demanding their boats back . They may ask politely the first time

Such is for small time big boys. There are two kinds of wealthy: The "Fuck You" wealthy are those who screw anyone and not worry about it. The "Fuck Me" wealthy are beyond that, the exclusive club of people so rich they can screw themselves and not worry about it. Getting rough for a paltry few million dollar boat might get one classified as only Fuck You wealthy, and the Fuck Me-ers might not want to associate with you any more.

It's propaganda.
Why does it need to make sense?

Getting rid of those Nazi's was a reason given for the invasion, was it not?

Considering the humiliation the militia of Mariupol inflicted on the elite Russian forces, I'm surprised they lasted this long before being murdered...

This is in the same category as the Syrians firing chemical weapons from enemy territory into enemy territory during an inspection by the UN looking for chemical weapons. I'm going to wait a little bit for more data before I draw my conclusion.

 

[barfy]

The first thing to my mind, as mentioned, was wtf a himar 15 km behind the line. Showing the rocket bits on a picnic table looses even more credibility.

Umm, no. That looks like a good way to pick up some shrapnel in your butt.
