AFAIK Mike Lynch was the highest net worth individual on the yacht and Reuters says his net worth is ~$450 million so there may actually not be any missing billionaires. (The Evening Standard claims he had a net worth of £986.4 million which would make him a billionaire in USD but rich lists are often BS so I'm going off what was claimed in court)

China is one hell of a lot more competent than Russia

We have no real idea whether this is actually true on a military level as their military is even less tested in real world conditions than the Russians were. Even if they are, an amphibious assault on an island with the potential of the world's most powerful navy in the way is a lot more difficult to pull off than a land invasion.

This should be what finally starts the push to guillotine the upper management of Disney but I guess we've got to take whatever we can get.

The trick is not to steal faster than the economy can produce. It's like organic, fair trade, sustainable kleptocracy.

Man, China must be watching this shitshow, looking at Outer Manchuria and wondering what exactly Russia could do about it at this point if they decided to reverse the Treaty of Aigun...

There's a star wars joke about Endor-fins in there somewhere.

Edit: or even Endor-Finns if you're willing to acknowledge the existence of the new films.

And then a user starts adding weights to the label until it passes.
