What do you think the money should be spent on?

It would probably blow up the port doing the laundering, which is unlikely to be happening in the EU.
But it would even more likely blow up an Indian or Chinese port.
It doesn't matter. Like I said, I think this is a really bad idea. Mainly because it is collective punishment, and almost all of the thousands of victims would have had nothing to do with their corporations' and their governments' decision to buy that oil.
Throughout the deeply stupid and shameful invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and this is true, the US never detonated a cargo ship sized bomb killing ten thousand people in a busy port city just because they bought sanctioned oil.
Afghanistan and Iraq were terrible mistakes. And many (most?) NATO states had nothing to do with Iraq. Not that it matters right now. I'm talking about Russia's imperialism right now.
I don't give a fuck how Russia is run as long as they stop trying to steal land.
The US and EU might buy a little, but most of it is being bought by China, India, and Africa at a steep discount. As I'm sure you know. Everybody buying Russian oil deserves scorn, even if they are living in the EU or the US.
I should maybe add that I don't think this is actually a good idea. I can just see that it's scientifically possible, and I enjoy constructing scenarios like this.
But to those who are riding Putin's dick, just know that these are the things the West could do, but chooses not to. And the fuck you to all buyers of Russian oil still stands. I don't care how poor they are.
I would not permanently ban somebody for saying the Earth is flat. Instead, I would ban them for a week and send them on a sanity pilgrimage complete with required reading and a final test.
Quick! Some billionaire buy it to ensure its neutrality!
Steal some of the oil. Replace it at correct stoichiometric ratio with ammonium nitrate or some other powerful oxidiser. Attach a detonator and tracking device to the ship. Don't tell the crew. Let the crew go free. When the ship reaches its destination, detonate. Halifax explosion, round two.
Fuck you, whoever would buy Russian oil.
Ah yes that's it. Steal the oil, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay the crew to sabotage Russia and its allies.
In the image, these are not tabs. These are firefox windows, being rendered as tabs (and as stacks) by sway.
I just switched to sway, and found that browser tabs no longer make sense. They were designed in the UI dark ages to make up for how terrible Windows XP's WM was. Now, though, sway can do tabs just as well as firefox can, and sometimes, even better. It is better to unify the management of all windows under a single WM, rather than this ad hoc mixture of the real, global WM, and a fake firefox-only (or terminal-only) WM. That way, all windows are managed with a single set of keyboard shortcuts.
I also found firefox's toolbar to be way too thick.
So, I used userChrome.css to hide the tab bar and adjust the toolbar's height:
/* Hide the tab bar. */
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
/* Adjust the toolbar height. */
#urlbar-container {
--urlbar-container-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
#urlbar {
--urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
--urlbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
:root {
--tbh: 26px !important; /* ToolBar Height. Adjust this one. */
--toolbarbutton-inner-padding: calc((var(--tbh) - 16px)/2) !important;
--toolbarbutton-outer-padding: 0px !important;
--toolbar-start-end-padding: 0px !important;
--urlbar-margin-inline: 0px !important;
}
Put this file at <profile root>/chrome/userChrome.css.
You'll probably have to make the chrome directory.
Then, in about:config, set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, to get firefox to read userChrome.css.
Oh, and don't forget to tell firefox to open new pages in new windows instead of new tabs.
I have also found it useful to map the firefox command to Super-C, so that I can make a new firefox window without needing to have some other firefox window already in focus.
I have also found it useful to keep an empty firefox window open in some unused workspace on its own, so that after I close what I didn't realise was the last open firefox window, firefox does not close entirely.
