And then be sunk while docked.

Perhaps a bit of pollution--oh, well, Russia already has to much petroleum outside of the ground and tanks and pipelines, not sure they'd notice--but then they'd have submarine-tanker cluttering up their loading area.

Violence should not be celebrated....

Yes, I understand the reality. And yes, I celebrate Ukraine in its battle for survival.

the explosion is likely what did it.

IMO, the destruction of a Russian asset is always a cause for celebration...

9. If Russia can't export their oil, it doesn't matter how high the price goes, or how many sanctions are lifted.
