This tanker helps finance russian aggression and they need to be stopped.

Greenpeace could probably sink a Russian corvette if they tried.

a country with no navy can, and pretty sure did.

Word on the street is Russian warships can go fuck themselves

Large russian military ships in the Baltic are like rubber ducks in a bathtub, or more accurately fish in a barrel. The idea of them sailing around making threats is pretty absurd. At any one time I am sure there are several mobile rocket systems with associated radars up the chain tracking every damn russian ship hanging out in the middle of the Baltic, the rocket systems just being large trucks scattered around the Baltic, 10s of kilometers from the coast, with the russian ships having absolutely no clue how many of these are trained on them at any one time.....
Just keep that in mind when you see these scary looking ships steaming around the Baltic making threats, the range of long range tactical ballistic and cruise missiles (non-nuclear, just normal missiles like HIMARS) makes the power projection of the crumbling russian navy comical at best.

for retaliation maybe, but hardly comical if you are crew on the greenpeace ship.
