Hunter’s new digs.
Torpedo it. A man is free to dispose of his own property as he sees fit. Russia has subs. Who could complain?
We should seize all Iraqi oil as our own, and invade Venezuela and take theirs as well. Do the same for Cuba.
I am not impressed. The US should not let our flag fly on a stolen yacht.
Video it, and send it to Short Bus and his puppeteers.
How much laughing out loud will you be doing when they come for your possessions?
Wrong, the American people will get the bill to rebuild Ukraine, just like we always get the bill.
As much as I dislike thug Putin, why is it ok to steal property from (yes corrupt) private Russian citizens?
What stops any nation from doing that to us?
If we travel to Turkey for example, what stops then from legally stealing anything they want from one of us?
Really bad idea. This property is impossible to sell. Who in their right mind would buy the stolen yacht of a Chechen warlord?
The president need a super cool yacht—Dock it in the Potomac for use of the US President, USN #1 —Only put guns all over it and anti rocket systems. Make it a gunboat as well as a pleasure barge.
Russia should thank the US. This helps deter Russia’s oligarch class from capital flight. What’s been going on, for decades, is that these guys were exporting investment capital to the “West”, mainly, causing massive underinvestment in Russia, relative to its earnings from resource exports. Malinvestment is a major reason for zero or low rate of economic development. Its been variously estimated that around half of Russia’s national wealth is held abroad, almost all in the “West”. Which is unique in the world, save for a couple of Arab oil producers.
A Latin American tycoon? An Arab tycoon?
Why not? If it looks good it is good.

I am saddened that so many neocons are still around, and some landed here at our beloved FR :-/
This will all end poorly with Putin announcing victory in Ukraine... he will be commenting on the obvious....
And millions will die of starvation, another neocon Mission Accomplished moment.
The fellow is not actually a private citizen, or that the wealth’s origin is government sanctioned is one argument.
The same argument has been used in cases re recovering wealth from the Marcos families’ cronies. They claim they are private citizens, the prosecution claims that the wealth derives from officially sanctioned corruption.
Now Hunter Biden owns it.
Given to him by President Joey Diapers!
Looks like Hunter Biden is getting a new toy.
I wonder when it will be on one of the Fed surplus equipment auction websites? Or will the feds just use it as the presidential yacht?
My first thought was that it is doomed to have an ‘accident’, submarine or otherwise.
