Too bad there wasn't a sign: “Trespassers will be shot.”

These guys still don't realize that the Russians are not to be messed with?

I'm waiting for the Russians to sink a Greenpeace ship, just to make a point.

The Russians are probably trying to keep a low profile and not inflame the situation elsewhere. But here’s a video of when they felt they could get away with killing bad guys. As I recall the story, they captured the pirates, then let them go and sank the pirate ship and then machine-gunned the survivors. (I think this is how pirates should be treated. That is how they’ve always been treated. Then, we got compassionate and, let’s face it, self destructive.)

"Greenpeace says two of its activists pirates have been arrested..."

Corrected.

You are on their property and committing an act of War. Idiots... these are not Japanese fishermen. Don’t try it on the chicoms... there will be no prisoners taken.

If I were Green Peace, I would think twice about attacking Russian oil interests in a ship. The “Three S” policy works great there. (Shoot, Sink, and Shut up.)

Unfortunately they kind of did.

It’s the arctic. Just use a water hose on them. Greenpeacicles.

What with the cost of ammunition, warning shots are surprising.

FEED THEM TO THE POLAR BEARS? Are you nuts? Please explain just what it is that makes you hate POLAR BEARS.
A statement like yours will bring the zealots of PETA down on you big time.
I’d let those pirates go. I’m sure they’d be quite comfortable on an ice floe heading north.
