Rassan oligarch living in Budapest gets sanctioned and his yacht gets seized. Buys a new one trough a company in Hungary, what is sitting in the docks for 4 months while it gets gets adjusted to his own needs. All the work is done, new owner signs the papers, the yacht is waiting for the new owner to ship out. A week later his own people appear and start making more adjustments before the consecration ceremony.
Unfortunately today it got set on fire and burned down :)

- How do yachts get docked in Hungary? Isn't Hungary a land locked country?utopian
- He perceived to own the Yacht, until a entity with more power than him, burst the bubble.shapesalad
- @utopian trucks mostly, but the Danube is connected to the black sea (one more reason why rassans like budapest) +there is a way from Tirol to the Adriatic seasted

A. Dugin's predictions for Russia:
"Today it is fairly easy to see what Russia will look like tomorrow.
There will be no global social networks at all. They will be replaced by something domestic, not too attractive. But all the better - society will discover the forgotten charms of the offline. This is the end of migration to 2D and cyberspace, and a return to 3D.
The dollar and the euro will be canceled. The reign of the ruble will begin. It will only be possible to exchange it for goods and services. Or simply to share with those who need more.
Corruption - which is primarily associated with betrayal of the Motherland - will be prosecuted first, then imprisoned for a long time, and then (since the first measures will not help much) even sent to the DNR.
Russia will be a kind of Imperial States.
Zelensky will sit where another clown of the color revolution is sitting. But only the sentence will be real. A life sentence.
At first, it will be hard and unusual. Then everyone will even like it.
There won't be a single one of today's pop artists on TV or radio. Not one. All channels will have ethno-folk - Russian and Eurasian psychedelics. And also Peter Leshchenko and Vadim Kozin.
New people will come to power. Our ordinary people. Not bastards.
The Gosplan (State Planning Committee) will be restored to the economy. All those who think in short cycles will be sent to work in restaurants as waiters.
Since we like to whine, many people will not like everything. Nostalgia will be remembered with something from the past (your choice). But no one pays attention to this now, and tomorrow it will not.
There will be a lot of products from Belarus. Even more than now. Including textiles and cosmetics. And also basins. But Belarus will be an Imperial State.
There will be a sharp increase in the number of weddings, because getting married is interesting again in the 3D world. Entire flotillas of wedding ships will sail along the Moskva River and other rivers. Wedding music will be blasting from everywhere. People will get into the swing of things.
The government will be situated in the air, in a luxurious suspended structure attached to a huge airship. The blimp will float over the Imperial States, and from there the government will watch through binoculars to see if everything is in order, if everything is according to plan. As in Ancient China, the post of Minister of the Clouds will be introduced, as well as the Head of the Department of Federal Dreaming and many other fascinating positions - Lord of the Forest, Guardian of the Waters, etc. There will be quite a few women in the government. Beautiful and stern.
There will be a qualitative leap in music theory. The ternary division of the fraction will be restored - that is, the quarter will again be divided into three eights, not two. This is how modern music will be defeated. By listening to it, people will better understand the universe, each other, and the decisions of the authorities.
Masks will be worn only on holidays - animals, birds, fairy tale creatures, and as yet unknown objects and figures. So that everyone can guess whose mask it is.
The definition of a thing in the explanatory dictionary of the new country would be: a thing is a rhetorical figure, an ironic trope, an enthymeme. Such a definition would fix the sad state of affairs in the natural sciences and make them fun and entertaining. A disciplinary continuum will be established between quantum mechanics and Traumdeutung (Gaston Bachelard's new scientific mind ).
The walls of houses - even high-rises - will be covered with ivy."

Ministry of Defense of Latvia: I just got out of box proposal how to end the Russian aggression. West announces that every Russian soldier which surrenders to Ukrainians will receive asylum in the West. I think its victorious idea from artist Aigars Bikše. Countries which do not give weapons to UA give asylum
- This is pure treason, and the families of the soldiers will suffer the consequences.
What other cons pop into you mind when you think about this idea?sted - Yay! VaxX madates, hyperinflation and a 'heating or eating' choice. Welcome to our paradise!Brabo_Brabo

Some people I follow from HK and Taiwan are sharing this article
A letter to the Western Left from Kyiv:
The "anti-imperialism of idiots" meant people turned a blind eye to Russia’s actions
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en…
Harsh but unfortunately rings true..."Those who exaggerated the influence of the far-Right in Ukraine, but did not notice the far-Right in the 'People’s Republics' and avoided criticising Putin's conservative, nationalist and authoritarian policy. Part of the responsibility for what is happening rests with you."
- The writer published this article and is now fighting the Russian army in Kyiv, crazy timesyuekit
- the 'anti-imperialism' idiots don't have a big enough worldview to make sense of thishotroddy
- Suddenly gender pronouns aren’t important. (If they ever were)Chimp
