Too much Hopium smoking by the Greenpeace dopes?
Dude, when you mess with the Russians, leave the weed at home!
Did they actually find it or did they “find” it ?
Sucks to be them...
Might be true, might be planted
well....the Russians could have planted the drugs....but not likely.
idiots
spare me from their garbage
Don’t really matter to the Russians. They got some comfy gulags just waiting for these asshats in Siberia. Hopefully they’ll never be heard from again. I know, I know. They are someones sister/brother/aunt/uncle/mom/dad/cousin etc. Act like a fool, get treated like a fool. I think they should have done to the boat what the French did many years ago. Deep six it.
If GP crew were told to leave the weed home before embarking on a trip to Russia, none would go.
Greenpeace has learned a valuable lesson, which is
Never bother the Russians or Chinese, regardless of how egregiously “anti-environmental” they are.
Stick to protesting countries like the USA, UK, Netherlands. After you get arrested, you get bail and you get feted as “heros” by other leftists in Government and media. Much better than a Russian jail cell.
“Oh $#!+, they found my stash.”
The presence or absence of drugs probably wouldn't make much difference to the Russians. They wouldn't bother to plant the drugs if they wanted to charge them. They'd just charge them and who cares about the evidence in a Russian court.
“Did they actually find it or did they find it ?”

I am OK with either way in this case. ;-)
I’ll not lose any sleep over it either way. These people are pretty stupid to think that all countries will treat them with the kid gloves that the U.S. and Great Britain use.
A bunch of leftists are about to get an education in police state criminal justice.
If Greenpeace wants to make the US or Australia or New Zealand adopt certain policies, they may have see some success. If their target is Russia -- "Oh, look. We found some drugs. Now your boat is ours. Enjoy your prison stay."

And you get your own show on National Geographic....
Good. Lock them all up.
