If it was carrying arms for the government of Iran...I hope it is at the bottom of Davey Jone’s locker by now.

When I first heard about this bizarre story, I figured something like this was going on. The KGB rulers of Russia may have changed their identification from communists to “ex”-communists, but they are the same old enemy working with the world’s rogue dictators to create more dictators, just like before.

There is still Soviet blood running in those Kremlin veins.

In other news, the atmosphere is composed mostly of nitrogen.

Hopefully, it vanished downward in about 30,000 ft of water.

Good. I first thought send them to the bottom of the sea but there is something much better. Let Israel keep them.

With the Russians involved and the ship transiting the Channel, I'm surprised they didn't find it wrecked on the Minkies with a load of scrap iron.

Since the Arctic Sea was retaken, Russia has imposed a security blackout. The hijackers, the crew and two investigative teams were flown back to Moscow in three Il-76 air freight planes. For more than a week after being freed the crew were not allowed to talk to their families. The captain and three crew are still on board the ship, which has resumed its voyage to Algeria, but they have not been able to call home.

MISLEADING HEADLINE. The ship is no longer 'missing'

Let's face it, it seemed rather "fishy" that a ship would disappear, that there would be no radio transmissions nor satellite images. It was obvious there was a story there someone in the USSR Russia didn't want us to know.
