It didn’t have oil so no worries. Just slaves.

Of course, they’re both Putin’s obedient servants. They’re both working hard to try to get him enough oil money to continue to prop up his war economy.

The multi-deck vessel, named Nord and valued at over $500 million, completed its journey through the commercially vital strait after maintenance in Dubai.

“The American side also raised no questions regarding the yacht’s movement, as it did not call at Iranian ports"

There’s no story here. The US blockade applies to ships going to/from Iranian ports, not everything passing through the strait.

Even if this blockade was a legitimate and legally authorized act of war, from a president who wasn’t Donald Trump, the USN would still let the Russian flagged civilian vessel through.

They would do the same thing for a Chinese superyacht as well.
