Greenpeace attempted to board an Arctic oil platform in international waters
with a small team of unarmed volunteers who were "dissuaded" (= scared off)
by small-arms fire from the platform.

The Russians actually boarded a ship in international waters with a large
air & sea armed attack, damaged the ship, assaulted the crew, hijacked the
ship, kidnapped the crew and transported them to Murmansk for interrogation.

Who are the pirates?


(I left Greenpeace decades ago but they still deserve better than this crap.)
