Only they didn't notice they were Russian ships.. (he-he)
(Remember: I've never written Russia off.*)
I don't know if holding a gun to someone's head has any beneficial effects on their intellect, but I guess it's worth a proper try**. So Mr Putin, extend the education of those poor, confused kids for another few days, please.
(However uncertain whether he qualifies as a political role-model or Russia as a state role-model, I must give it to the ex-KGB officer and his contorted country: your noble effort, however hopeless it may seem, to educate those dangerous, ignorant green loonies from Greenpeace deserves highest praise.
Mind you, locking the whole stupid bunch up for good would be even better and, if anyone at all, Russia could actually get away with it...)
*A little frighteningly, if someone asked me 'yes' or 'no', I'd say - after a moment's hesitation - 'Yes. Write Germany off. Nothing good will ever come out that state.' (Not out of the people, mind you).
**as a teacher, I'd be interested in conducting some more structured research, and on less hopeless cases; not all young people are as dumb as Greenpeace.
