A superyacht owned by Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov successfully transited the heavily blockaded Strait of Hormuz last weekend, an unusual passage given the waterway's severe restrictions since February.
There’s WW3 going on, and this guy knows that he’s part of that tiny sliver of humanity that sails above all of that, and he can just cruise right on through, and both sides will kneel for him.
He should have been sunk just for that arrogance alone.
Blow it up anyway. That yacht was paid for in human misery.
Impounded and used to fund Ukraine seems like a more pointed use of it. Plus blowing it up just pollutes the ocean.
Well, all right, party-pooper. We were all looking forward to blowing up some billionaire toys.
Absolutely. Just has nothing to do with the blockade and I don’t think it’s good journalism to pretend otherwise.
