That was my reaction. I'd want something sleek.

If we buy it, how do we pay the crew?

This yacht is for sale and we (the Fogbow "we") should be able to pick this baby up for a coupla greenbacks. :biggrin: JPC has probably been notified of the sale by the yacht broker.
I did see this one up for sale. Typical Russian lack of class. The thing looks like it's fiberglass and it looks topheavy enough to roll over in three foot seas. The one I hocked to buy Truth Social stock was a little larger and was actually made of steel. So I won't be buying this when I call in all the winnings on Truth Social stock.

Actually, I wonder how many Street people shorted that particular turd. I probably would have back in the day.

We start a grift on GoFundMe and call it something catchy like "Win a six-day, seven-night stay aboard this beautiful yacht formerly owned by an influential member of President Trump's inner circle."

They will need them to keep the surrendering Russian soldiers from freezing to death. I still have to read that the Russian army has been preparing for a winter campaign.

Oh man, Germany giving winter uniforms ... funny, when the Germans tried to capture Moscow in the winter of '41 - '42, they wouldn't give their own troops winter uniforms, as an incentive program, supposedly. "You'll warm up in Moscow," they were told. They never got there.

Well, I mean, in fairness, Germany still hasn't given out uniforms to INVADE Russia, accordingly.

Exxon fully withdraws from Russia after Putin seizes assets

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/exxon-exit ... 1-project/
Exxon Mobil on Monday said it has fully exited Russia, with the energy giant saying that President Vladimir Putin had expropriated its assets in the country and "unilaterally terminated" the company's Sakhalin-1 oil project.

"With two decrees, the Russian government has unilaterally terminated our interests in Sakhalin-1, and the project has been transferred to a Russian operator," an Exxon Mobil spokeswoman said.

She didn't disclose whether Exxon received compensation for the assets, but added that Exxon plans to reserve its legal rights under international law and its production-sharing agreement to pursue remedies.

Russia's move to seize Exxon's assets come after seven months of negotiations over a transfer of the company's stake in the Sakhalin-1 project, according to Reuters, which first reported on Exxon's move to complete its withdrawal from the country.


This will deprive Russia of Exxon Mobil's proprietary technology.

justice.gov excerpt wrote:In 2021, McGonigal and Shestakov conspired to provide services to Deripaska, in violation of U.S. sanctions imposed on Deripaska in 2018. Specifically, following their negotiations with an agent of Deripaska, McGonigal and Shestakov agreed to and did investigate a rival Russian oligarch in return for concealed payments from Deripaska. As part of their negotiations with Deripaska’s agent, McGonigal, Shestakov and the agent attempted to conceal Deripaska’s involvement by, among other means, not directly naming Deripaska in electronic communications, using shell companies as counterparties in the contract that outlined the services to be performed, using a forged signature on that contract and using the same shell companies to send and receive payment from Deripaska.

Bloomberg: US prepares 200% tariff on Russian-made aluminum

https://kyivindependent.com/news-feed/b ... e-aluminum
As Russia’s full-scale war nears its one-year mark, the U.S. has reportedly been considering the decision for months.

Bloomberg noted that there have been concerns in the Biden administration regarding the potential “collateral damage” of such a decision on U.S. industries, such as aerospace and automobiles.

Russia is the second-largest aluminum producer in the world after China and traditionally constitutes 10% of aluminum imports to the U.S. The move would effectively end Russian-made aluminum imports to the U.S.

U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly has yet to approve the decision.

Ukraine War Bulletins and News
@SocraticEthics@mastodon.online
⚠️🇨🇳🇦🇪🇹🇷Russia appears to be successfully circumventing sanctions and exporting technology needed for war against Ukraine, – Bloomberg. Thanks to exports from China, the UAE, Turkey, and Kazakhstan, Moscow obtains microcircuits and integrated circuits from the European production. The data show that the real impact of sanctions in some areas does not yet live up to expectations (more) #Ukraine #News #Invasion #Russia #Turkey #China #UAE #9yearsOfWarInUkraine

EU Imposes Sanctions For Violence Against Women

https://www.barrons.com/news/eu-imposes ... n-a24eecee
The European Union on Tuesday imposed sanctions ahead of International Women's Day against officials from six countries, including Russia and Afghanistan, for violence and rights abuses against women.

According to a document seen by AFP, nine individuals and three official entities have been added to sanctions lists, subject to visa bans and the freezing of any assets held in the EU.

The sanctions target two Moscow police officers, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Fedorinov and his subordinate Ivan Ryabov, who are accused of ordering the arrest and torture of female anti-war protesters.

Also named are Russian special forces commander Major General Nikolai Kuznetsov and tank commander Colonel Ramil Ibatullin, whose units are accused of systematic acts of rape and sexual violence in Ukraine.

From Afghanistan, the Taliban minister for higher education Neda Mohammad Nadeem and the minister for the propagation of virtue and the repression of vice, Muhammad Khalid Hanafi, are also listed.

The former is accused of depriving women of education and the second of "curbing their freedom of speech and expression, and inflicting harsh punishments and violence on those who do not respect the Taliban's edicts."

New intelligence reviewed by US officials suggests a "pro-Ukraine group" — likely comprised of Ukrainians or Russians — attacked the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September, but there are no firm conclusions, the New York Times has reported.

Key points:
The US intelligence review suggested those who carried out the attacks opposed Russian President Vladimir Putin
German media reports suggest authorities were able to identify the boat used for the sabotage operation in the Baltic Sea
Russia last month gave the UN Security Council a draft resolution demanding establishment of an international, independent investigation

There was no evidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or other Ukrainian government officials were behind the attacks which spewed natural gas into the Baltic Sea, the newspaper reported on Tuesday local time, citing US officials.

Reuters could not independently verify the New York Times report.

The explosions on September 26 last year, which destroyed the pipelines connecting Russia and Germany, occurred in the exclusive economic zones of Sweden and Denmark.

Both countries have concluded the blasts were deliberate, but have not said who might be responsible.

The US and NATO have called the pipeline attacks "an act of sabotage", while Moscow has blamed the West.

Neither side has provided evidence.

Russia Imposes Sanctions On 144 Citizens Of Estonia, Latvia, And Lithuania

https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-sanction ... 10832.html
Russia has imposed sanctions on 144 citizens of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania -- three EU and NATO member states that have been among the strongest backers of Ukraine since Russia launched its ongoing unprovoked invasion in February 2022. The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on March 9 that the move is a response to the three Baltic states' "lobbying for sanctions and other measures against Russia, interference in our internal affairs, and inciting Russophobic moods."

On our noon news today, they said that our area's premier chocolate candy maker will not have jelly beans this year. Sarris makes really soft, tasty jelly beans. Their pectin and starch comes from Ukraine. That's most of the jelly bean. No licorice jelly beans. :crying:

Apparently, they tried substituting last year, and it was not pretty.

:( I don't eat much candy these days but when I did, licorice jelly beans were one of my favorites. Licorice anything actually.

I have a couple of flavors I don’t like anymore due to emotional association. Root beer and licorice anything, are some. They’re associated with my grandmother. I was staying with her while my 6 mo. brother had double pneumonia. She had a massive stroke while I was at church and was gone before I got home. :crying:
