Save your money for something less ‘nouveau riche’ and much more beautiful:

Yup. It’s just as well, they weren’t gonna let me rename it “Rum, Buggery And The Lash” anyway. Some people simply have no historical respect.

Be patient-—you’ll get a “second chance” offer to buy it when the successful bidder finds out it smells like cabbage. And that it runs on vodka. And its GPS tries to drive it up the Volga.

I did not bid on it because it doesn’t have a trolling motor on the front...

There was, also, the question of whether it would fit on the same trailer my Ranger bass boat uses...

That would be hard to back it onto the boat ramp at the lake.

EU globalist thieves. There should be a standing order for any Russian sub to sink it anywhere it hits international waters… worldwide. The owner has a right to destroy his own boat.

If it floats, it can be sunk.

“Believed to be Owned by Putin”

Good to hear, and well deserved, considering the crap he’s had to deal with from the Neocons (such as ‘colluding’ with Trump in 2016).

I wouldn’t want to own it. I could see a group of Spetsnaz climbing over the rails, assassinating the crew and passengers and then either scuttling it or sailing it into Russian waters.

I was going to get it but I didn’t like the color.

It’s as likely that Putin owns that as it is that I own the Staten Island Ferry....not that I wouldn’t like to own that yacht myself, as long as it comes with prepaid maintenance, fuel, and crew.

I agree. Our intel services ascribe ownership to everything Putin touches. If they used the same standard for American presidents, they would be told they owned Air Force one, Camp David, and every luxury resort they visited.

But in any case, it’s owned by a Russian, and was stolen by Italy and the EU.

I would declare it pirated and announce it will be torpedoed on sight, anywhere it or any confiscated Russian yacht can be found, anywhere on earth.
Likewise we should sink the USS Pueblo tomorrow, it is ours. That retard Clinton allowed it to be towed by Norks from the North Coast of Korea, around the peninsula, and into the South coast. We should have sunk it.
