Whoever buys this thing better not leave US territorial waters


quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is auctioning off the $325 million yacht Amadea, its first sale of a seized Russian luxury ship since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

The auction, which closes Sept. 10, comes as President Donald Trump seeks to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. The U.S. has said it’s working with allies to put pressure on Russian oligarchs, some of whom are close to Putin and have had their yachts seized, to try to compel him to stop the war.

The 348-foot-long (106-meter-long) yacht, seized three years ago and currently docked in San Diego, was custom built by the German company Lürssen in 2017. Designed by François Zuretti, the yacht features an interior with extensive marble work, eight state rooms, a beauty salon, a spa, a gym, a helipad, a swimming pool and an elevator. It accommodates 16 guests and 36 crew members.

I just like how they’re keeping it in San Diego where it’s guarded by a carrier group

Taking toys away from friends of friend will compel end of war?

Imagine you are parent of dead soldier (either side). Your family / life of your soldier is not difference maker for end of war. But luxury lifestyle of the boss’ friends is.

And light is shed on how the world turns.

The topic of the thread and your grammar compelled me to read this in a Russian accent.

What did the yacht owner do to earn it being seized?

He was guilty of being a Russian oligarch during the Russian invasion of a sovereign nation.

So it would be ok for other countries to have taken American citizens property during the Middle East war saga that lasted 20+ years?

Deal with it. This is America's world.

You're welcome to leave at any point. Thanks for shopping

I don’t think it’s right either way.

This is why so many countries want to move away from the petrodollar. It’s the main reason why BRICS exists. We do shite like this then we say everyone hates us because of our freedom or some dumb shite like that.

I suppose they could have tried, assuming a rich American kept expensive assets in that shite hole.
