  1. “Shadow fleet” sounds like some kind of tactical “special military operation”. Stop making russia sound important. They just asked a chinese tanker to drag an anchor and now we will just patrol more in the baltic sea and arrest the shitheads like we already did last week. Baltic sea is a Nato lake now, since Finland and Sweden joined Nato.

  3. Well, duh. This has been obvious for months. Why are they acting like they just figured it out?!?! DO SOMETHING!

  4. Arrest the crew, at least captain and deck officers till their countries of origin and/or hiring company pay the fines, confescate cargo and turn the ship in coral reef.

    Can’t just sit around with thumbs up in rectum hoping for miracles. Muscovy is run by nuisance and they only understand and respect power responses with an iron fist.

  5. So are we ever goi g to do anything to them or are all of our politicians corrupt cowards that keep letting Putin do as he wishes in Europe for decades now sowing chaos and damage?
    A letter and some sanctions ain’t doing anything he’s continuously emboldened and continues his wars all over his borders with European nations.

  6. The most interesting question is whether Russia is doing this because they are counting on messy chaotic transition of power from Biden to Trump in the US and then it’s probably going to peak by January 20th.

    Or if they are counting on Trump not being interestedin in anything Europe-related – and then it’s just a beginnig.

  9. They are doing it because they know NATO won’t do anything. End of story. I feel like no one involved in NATO has read a history book.

    Appeasement is not the answer.

  10. “growing theories”

    Fuck all the way off. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that putler is to blame.

  11. Russia is at war with Europe, but Europe hasn’t noticed yet.

    It’s only been a decade.

  13. No shit. Could have told you that they were up to no good after that pipe line got holed.

  14. People, people, please. It is not sabotage..

    It’s a special underwater operation.

  15. No worries, pretty sure there will be some stern words and even possibly some condemnation by the west.
    If the ruzzians shot down a commercial airplane then maybe the west will… oh wait. Nevermind

  16. And we are not going to do anything because we are a bunch of sissy’s

  17. Oh… No… We will have to write him a letter with VERY stern words.

  18. No way the weather is falling for 3rd party deniability. Set fire to all of their oil.

  20. You never hear about what NATO special ops are doing in retaliation.

  21. Surely some submarines can follow them and help them to inspect the cables at the bottom of the sea?

  22. All this light aggression from Russia is stemming from the fact that Europe and the United States did not stand up to Putin in 2014 when he took Crimea. I blame Obama specifically whose PR team posted lots of intimidating photos where Obama was mad dogging Putin and yet when Putin did what he did there was Zero repercussion that mattered from the United states. This emboldens bullies how the leadership of the West does not understand this is more than likely due to the appeasement nature of their leadership

  26. They’re saying “growing theories” like they’re afraid Putin will sue them for defamation if they’re wrong…

    Mainstream media with the sanewashing, as always…
