  4. Ukraine can turn that into a submarine with that one trick.

  5. I mean, instead talking about it and watching it may want to directly do something about it. The west is so weird and nervous concerning ruzzia when any other country would’ve already had their shit boarded and investigated.

  6. It gets to a certain point where if you just allow them to sabotage, you’re just as complicit. They won’t stop by being publicly outed or condemned. Russia only responds to action and they are in no position to provoke new conflicts. They’re only doing this because they are getting away with it. Sink the ships and they’ll stop. Like during the Syrian conflict, Turkey shot down a Russian fighter that kept violating it’s airspace. Russia didn’t do shit in response.

  7. Next episode of ‘Whats going on with shipping’ will be interesting.

  8. Sink everyone of these ships if they don’t leave after they have been warned to vacate the area

  9. Sink or board them. It’s the only thing ruzzia understands

  10. Surprisingly blows up, no info how. Maybe aliens

  11. How is everybody saying to sink them? They are full of oil ffs…

    Board them and dock them…

  12. The “sink them” comments are not considering what doing that to oil tankers will do to the seas and shores of an almost entitely enclosed ocean which is now nicknamed “Nato Lake”. Own goal would be an approproate term.

  18. >**A Russian ‘shadow-fleet’ vessel has circled over a stretch of a pipeline carrying Norwegian gas to Poland in the Baltic Sea, a source in the Polish Foreign Ministry has told TVP World.**

    >If confirmed, the actions of the vessel would heighten concerns over the vulnerability to attack of vital energy infrastructure lying on the bed of the Baltic. 

    >However, Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Pawel Wroński said on Tuesday that he does not currently have any information about a Russian ‘shadow fleet’ vessel undertaking such maneuvers over the Baltic Pipe pipeline.  

    >Late last year, a ship reportedly belonging to the shadow fleet, a group of vessels unregulated and uninsured by conventional Western providers, and used by Russia to circumvent sanctions on energy exports, allegedly severed a number of Baltic cables. 

    >Polish pipeline operator Gaz-System said on Tuesday the Baltic Pipe pipeline was operating normally, without disruptions. 

    >The same day, NATO said it was launching a new mission called Baltic Sentry, which will aim “to provide enhanced surveillance and deterrence” in the Baltic Sea.  

    >The move was announced as regional leaders met in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, along with the military alliance’s secretary general, Mark Rutte. 

    >Poland will commit four ships to a NATO Baltic Sea ‘policing force,’ foreign ministry sources have told TVP World. 

  20. And we are just watching? Know full well they have sabotaged pipelines and cables in the last few years? I’m starting to think the west is toothless.

  22. The only question I have is, why did we allow Russia and China to sabotage our infrastructure for more than 2 years before we started to send NATO ships into the region and closely surveil their boats?

  24. “Let’s sink them in to the ocean”

    What next? Throw our plastic in to the sea?! ah…

  25. It’s not officially Russia, so you can confiscate, sell and detain without issues.

  26. Send a few naval vessels. Let them know that if a pipeline breaks, everyone in the area gets arrested for piracy.

  27. If a stray fishing net fouled their propellers, they couldn’t go far, and might even need to be towed to a safe area.

  31. Just confiscatem them. Want them back? It’ll cost you 10 million. Ok, bye.

  32. Issues letters of Marque and let Americans practice their constitutional right of piracy!

  33. Board and confiscate ships that does not live up to security standards or have insufficient insurance. Denmark should leave the 1857 Copenhagen treaty allowing free transit of Danish straits, and then anyone who wish to pass either have made a deal with the government, or be pooled in large groups of ships and escorted by military vessels with a pilot on board through Danish waters for a price. If Russia want’s to keep them running they will can go from Murmansk.

    This is not innocent passage.
