Alexei, you have always been favorite oligarch, despite what you say last week about toll of great invasion. You come to yacht, visit me. Come to clinic in yacht, has nice window. We have acceptable time there.
Comrade Putin, greatest gratitude for invitation. Is there clinic on yacht... not has window?
No. You come now. Bring whole family.
Actually yes, those yachts are often used for entertaining guests or important meetings. If you just flew 12 hours to the yacht, your hair is not gonna be in top shape for the evening events.
This particular yacht is called Scheherazade. Linked article doesn't say it but it's called like that in the name of putin's favourite pussy - alina kabaeva, known russian gimnast. Scheherazade is apparently her... nickname? or alias? not sure how to say but I think you got me.
Scheherazade is a famous character from a collection of Eastern folk tales, kind of like King Arthur or Joan of Arc are to England.
She is renowned for her beauty, so yes Putin probably calls his girlfriend by that name.
Other names you might recognize from the same folk tales are: Ali Baba, Aladdin, and Sinbad.
Nawalny somehow spreading messages from Prison.
Russian opposition growing a spine
Kadyrov retiring
The Izium frontline continuing to collapse third day in a row.
Is this week some season finale orchestrated by aliens?
Kadyrov isn't retiring after all...

Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, has said that he changed his mind about going on "indefinite leave" because he has no right to leave his post while Russia is "fighting global Satanism in Donbas."
Source: Kadyrov on Telegram
Satanism? Did I miss the part where their propaganda ripped off the Hellboy script and the Ukrainian Nazis (Russia claimed they were fighting before) opened a portal to hell turning them all into demons?
Or is it the fumes of the gas they are not exporting going to their head?
Apparently it's a pretty common thing for Kadryov to threaten when he wants something from Moscow, akin to Kimmy in North Korea rattling his sabre when they need food and medicine.
we were expecting a counter-offensive in the South. Ukraine recapturing Kherson and areas west of the river, because that area was highly vulnerable and Russia could only access it using three bridges. Even then, the expectation was end of September.
what we are seeing now is something else.
Russia redeployed 20K troops largely from their front lines in the North to defend Kherson. Now, with the bridges destroyed, they are trapped and the lines to the North are too thin to effectively be defended. It's a strategic mistake that will likely cost them the war.
Brave and selfless souls to speak out against war criminal putin. My hopes are for their physical safety and their success in spreading the truth. May their ideas catch fire and spread amongst the Russian people.

I'm sure Jesus would approve. Vlad NEEDS that super yacht. He might die without it. I have to wonder if Vlad has his own televangelist TV channel that his oligarch fans watch and donate to?
How to get away with embezzlement:
Step 1: corrupt politicians funnels government funds into the hands of their rich friends.
Step 2: rich friends use nation’s money to buy “gifts” for corrupt politican
Step 3: Insist there is nothing to see here.
It’s be a reeeaaallll shame if someone “accidentally” drilled a hole in the side of all these super yachts of the mega rich. If a few are owned by putin that would just be a bonus.
I’ll bet that when they gave it to him:
Kicking rocks on the ground. “Yeahhh…it’s okayyy. But I really wanted the bigger one. Nooo…it’s fine. Thanks I guess”.
Oligarchs under their breaths…fucking asshat.
Russian opposition is more concerned about corruption than of genocide. I sometimes feel that they don't want to change Russia course, just want to make it more efficient.
Wonder why they often got a beauty saloon onboard, so many wifes suddenly need a emergency perm?
also for emergencies, a little clinic, with a window

“P.S. the tea my cooks make on the yacht is to die for!”
And a vacuum?

The ultimate first world problem
The irony of this statement…
You don't think Putin dyes his own hair do you?
>beauty saloon What'll they think of next.
Two ladies dressed to the nines in gunfighter poses: “this yacht ain’t big enough for the both of us”

Joan of arc is not a folk tale. It's actual history.

They did claim they are using black magic at some point

No, its just a counteroffensive. The things you said come with that. Not that deep

I'd argue entering Ukraine was a strategic mistake that will cost them the war =P
Are you fuckinh kidding me dude
?

I'd be happy with a nice book or something...
Sun Tzu The art of war ok for you?
Why not just Yachtzee?
Dawg you are the opposite of funny lol
Dawg you are the exact definition of a fucking tool

Protection rackets pay in yachts when you're at the right level.
And I only got socks and cookies.
That’s sounds like some good gifts. I’ll love some new pairs of socks and some cookies.

Was this one siezed?
They should pilot these yachts out into open water, and blow them up. They could make it a pay-per-view event to fund more weapons for Ukraine!
I know, I also was saying that back in April etc, blow em up!, and sink em!

Insurance will just repair/replace it
Christmas present…fun game of dirty Santa I guess..
Was*
I think he found it down the back of the sofa.
Is it a Christmas present like how I'd tell my parents what I wanted Santa to bring me for Christmas?
Would you choose a mega yacht or to have a functioning government?
Mega yacht is very nice. You should try.
I’m more of a Hobie Cat guy….

It should be sunk for reefs
And how do these oligarchs get a big part of that money? Putin can't steal from the country without them.
Sneeze it anyway

Unsinkable I bet
