6. They weren't carrying grain for Ukraine.

They went to get grain from a Ukr port.

Ukr is a rather large exporter of wheat.

But you never know what a ship might be carrying ... Perhaps it's there to retrieve wheat and give money to the neo-Nazi Russophone Jewish drug dealers out to kill all Russian speakers ... Perhaps it's there to deliver the anti-Putin, which if exploded, would neuter all Putins within a 4000 mile radius. (Effectively leaving European Russia with a population that's 98% female.)

4. You know, the Japanese did the same thing to an American ship when they were sacking Nanjing

The USS Pinoy was attacked. Japan said "oopsy, we're sorry."
