Linky.
I've not been a fan of Greenpeace for a long while now. Seeing them in action previously left a fairly bitter taste in my mouth, with actions I really could only describe as immature and childish. So part of me is glad to see the Russians stick it to them, I don't really have much sympathy. On the other hand it's not like they were ever really a threat to the oil thingy; more than a little bit of over-reaction there.
I'm still trying to figure out why Greenpeace did this in the first place, it's not like the Russians are known for their tolerance of fringe groups like this. I mean, for as harsh as it could end up being, it's not a wholly unexpected result.
Or do the Russians find a nice middle ground here?

Okay, that was dumb. Although the charges of piracy don't really seem to apply, they could nab them for trespassing.

Hoping to share a cell with those Pussy Riot girls?

Russia doesn't treat troublemakers well.
If you think that's harsh treatment, look into how they handle hostage negotiations.

Just as Planned.
I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag Greenpeace or wears a pirate Greenpeace brand gets what he deserves – a short drop and a sudden stop

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then they arrest you for piracy
then you are raped to death in a gulag.

Yeah, why protest against someone who'll put you in jail?

With Putin campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize the Eco-pirates could get off easy.

Probably just a sideways French flag. Don't be so easily fooled!

Rotting potatoes probably made a good Russian Navy deterrent when trying to hijack an oil platform.
