    Honestly why isn’t this considered sabotage and the captain imprisoned? Even if it’s plain negligence, it’s still multimillion dollar criminal negligence.

    How come governments are “tough on crime” when it’s some lowly peasant, but corporations can engage in terrorism or fraud 1000x worse, even killing thousands of people, and they simply walk free?

    Almost like we live in plutocratic dictatorships — ruled by corporations — masquerading as “democracy”.

      Because this is part of international politics. It could be seen as a hybrid attack and therefore requires some sensitive handling

        tbh sensitive handling is the issue today let’s fuckers slip between the cracks.

        Bibi and Putin should absolutely be killed, all out war for their crimes. These Chinese vessels and ones who ram in the south China sea, sink em and arrest the people in them.

        Our government handles shit with kids gloves

          There are better ways to handle the current world situation than war tbh

          But Europe seems to be unwilling to act accordingly

          Starting a war with China when you’re losing the one you started against Russia seems stupid. Go for it. It’s time westerners understand what it’s like to be the victims for once.
