"Seize and sink." The democratic west should seize all Russian mega-yachts, tow them to the Black Sea, and let Ukranian air force pilots use them for target practice, destroy them all in retaliation for the intentional barbaric destruction of Ukraine infrastructure.

I like the plan. Visual you painted, Kathy, helping me get my equilibrium back after Heather’s Letter tonight.

I'm sure that the Ukrainian pilots are not lacking in chances to "practice" especially with a big Russian fleet just of the coast from Odessa. Send them to the "knackers yards" in India perhaps as nobody is going to buy them.

Love this. But maybe a better use would be to sell the yachts, and give the money to Ukrainians to fund their defense against Russia.

If I had the money to maintain it, I’d sure like to have one of them…

Or let Ukrainian refugees (who love water) live on them in the Med. until the war ends. Turn them into floating hospitals. Make putin and oligarch's assets pay for them.
