Iran experts failed to imagine the one scenario that has actually transpired: a US president failing to consider any of the obvious Iranian responses and to mitigate against them. That, plus a #YachtWatch update in this week’s Rant! open.substack.com/pub/alexzfin...

Potanin owns the yacht NIRVANA, worth an estimated $120 million and currently docked in Dubai. Let us all feel sad for this sad oligarch.

In last week’s Rant!, I asked lots of questions about blowing up alleged narco boats in a different kind of #YachtWatch. Do we know there were drug runners on board? Is this a priority for US national security? And the most important question:

This week’s Rant! is here!
Russian drones in Poland are the logical continuation of Russia’s asymmetrical war against the West.
Plus: the yacht Amadea goes up for auction, and a different kind of #YachtWatch, involving Venezuelan drug runners. Maybe. open.substack.com/pub/alexzfin...

Can I be honest? Is it just me, or is Wizards (WotC) pumping out hot garbage like it’s a side hustle—just to chase whatever’s trendy so Hasbro’s shareholders can snag another yacht? 🛥️ No? Just me? #RollForProfit #DiceNotDividends

Sanctions may be biting the Russian economy, but Roman Abramovich is still spending on his yachts. Both ECLIPSE and SOLARIS (two of his fleet of at least 16 yachts) are in shipyards in (NATO member) Turkey, undergoing extensive refits. #YachtWatch 1/ www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/e...

The EU has dropped sanctions on the sister of Alisher Usmanov. This might get interesting, since Usmanov has insisted his sister is the owner of the frozen yacht DILBAR, being held in Germany. I wonder if they now let the yacht go? #YachtWatch

Kerimov is believed to be the owner of Amadea, the 106-meter yacht seized in Fiji, worth around $325million. I wonder if Citigroup helped finance the pizza oven or something? #YachtWatch

Putin, Russia’s humble servant, used a Russian navy shipyard to build himself 2 luxury yachts. With half the Black Sea fleet underwater, I wonder how the military feels about that. Also, huge shout out to our NATO ally Turkey, who’s hosting the yachts! #yachtwatch open.substack.com/pub/alexzfin...
