A few inflatable boats delivering a handful of protesters to a massive Russian oil rig in the Arctic and, according to Vlad Putin, that's piracy for which they could be slammed up in some dingy Russian prison for up to 15-years.
In the non-totalitarian world, piracy has always had an element of robbery or violence at its core. But this is the totalitarian world, Vlad Putin's Russia, and he decides what's a crime and what's not.
Apparently handing out information pamphlets is also subterfuge, a crime against the Russian state.
Can someone remind me why we're taking part in their Olympic games? Isn't it time for the "free world" (if that's a concept that still exists) to tell Vlad Putin to screw himself?

Well, fair enough in a way . . . on the other hand, I can think of some decent reasons they shouldn't have taken part in our games in 2010 or the London ones in 2012 . . .
What, we're not perfect? Where did you get such an idea?
So this is what you get when you send these Greenpeace idiots money someone in a dopey costume or fpr them to sail all over the world in their garbage scows(Arctic Sunrise,Rainbow Warrior II)to make total pests of themselves and commit acts of Piracy them and the Sea Sheapards belong in prison
