20. Not sure on any laws about that but if you have something, legally obtained, and then it is taken

from you just because you are a citizen of a certain nation...what's the definition of that?

And this means that the next time the USA invades and bombs a place like, oh I don't know, Iraq lets say, whose citizens, as far as I know, never lifted a finger against us, then we're cool with the world just grabbing rich American's stuff?

Can someone sell a yacht they got through sanctions? Can someone legally buy it?

Who is going to pay for the maintenance of these things, it's not like you can just put them on a trailer and park it in the driveway.

I know you don't have the answers either, just wondering how this could be translated into some very much needed emergency funds for Ukraine.
