Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 6

[Major Boredom]

Dropping Nicely. Almost at prewar levels ... Russia's cash cows are rapidly not being that much of a cash cow anymore.

RUB still maintaining its 25% loss in value from an export perspective... Wonder what will happen when Russia leaves it to become free market again.

Pity that Russia stopped reporting all financial figures lol. Wonder why....

Here is a report that China was buying LPG @50% of spot. China will do what is best for China, not Russia.
With prices going the way they are deep discounts are not viable anymore which will limit the amount India and China buy.

China Is Aggressively Buying Up Cheap Russian LNG | OilPrice.com

China is buying an ever-increasing amount of discounted Russian LNG, allowing the more expensive U.S. cargoes to be bought up by Europe

Interesting article about the price caps that were proposed, including some information on the insurance problem russia faces.

The story behind the proposed price cap on Russian oil

David Wessel explains the how and why behind the proposed price cap on Russian oil.

It will have to take mooring alongside the yacht club.
No need to protest from land when the enemy vessel provides perfect cover at night

Imagine an errant flare, accidentally being shot into the interior of the yacht.
Boating is after all, fraught with accidents

Or some local divers blocking the generator cooling sea chest inlets.

And the possibility of SA being sanctioned for harbouring an international fugitive...

Just in time for the US navy to interpret it in international waters.

Flippin hell! This is too easy. You said you worked in the shipping industry when you were raging about Chinese LNG tankers, dockworkers, insurance, etc. right? And now you post this gem Please state the laws about interception in International Waters please... Oh that's right, you cannot simply intercept and harass vessels in international waters without the permission of the flag state of the vessel. Have you been BSing us about your experience all along?

All they can do is pull up alongside them, then smile and wave...

On the Legality and Policy Ramifications of High Seas Seizures of Foreign Merchant Vessels for Violating U.S. Sanctions

In its efforts to enforce economic sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, the United States is straining the boundaries of traditionally accepted state behavior in some of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. It is walking a tightrope.

So Cupcake... What cargo is the yacht suspected of carrying and is it heading to the US? Plus the US has a close relationship with the ship's flag nation of Belize in your example

From the articles... Please show me international waters Cupcake your BS is starting to stink.

Ships sailing the high seas are generally under the jurisdiction of the flag state (if there is one); however when a ship is involved in certain criminal acts, such as piracy, any nation can exercise jurisdiction under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction. International waters can be contrasted with internal waters, territorial waters and exclusive economic zones.

International waters - Wikipedia

Russia can apply to the US courts while the US Navy tows the yacht to the USA as it is under sanctions.

The yacht is sanctioned and can be seized by any nation.

Ha!
Never thought of that

Mikhail argues his case.
"I'm not a pacifist," he explains. "If a country was trying to occupy my Motherland, or commit aggression against Russia, I would go straight to the military enlistment office and sign up, without waiting for my call-up papers. But in this particular case I believe that there is no military threat to my Motherland."
"But our Motherland is in danger," one of the officials insists.
"My Motherland wasn't in danger before 24 February," replies Mikhail, referring to the date on which Russia invaded Ukraine.

This Russian guy wont fight because it senseless to him - and me TBH.
