Greenpeace crew in 'shock' in Russian jails

[Termite]

A young Finnish female activist is a vegan and unable to eat prison food.....

What, there's no potatoes and cabbage in a Russian jail?

For "unable" read "not yet hungry enough"...

"Shocked, really? Y'all never read 'Gulag Archipelago', did you?"

Or Ivan Denisovich.

However, I believe sinking Greenpeace boats is more a French pastime.

You know you're a sorry organization when the FRENCH kick your butt.

"They had never expected that they would face such consequences for their peaceful protest in a democratic state."

Well, there's one problem...whatever gave them the idea that Russia is a democratic state? They make pretend, but so did Saddam. Did they miss the part about Putin being KGB?

After reading about that clusterfuck, it seems like it would be a better policy to just torpedo them in mid ocean.

I sent an email to the President of Russia praising him for his actions.

Firing Mk-19 rounds from a 203 is a good way to get a shoulder removed.

Slight correction: Firing Mk-19 rounds from an M203 is a good way to get a head removed.

Not only are they much different pressure rounds, they are dimensionally different to keep people from making stupid mistakes, kind of like the dimensional differences of a .38 S&W vs a .357 magnum. I guess someone could try and jam a Mk19 round into an M203. The M203 barrel is aluminum, so there would be some "give". That "someone's" next (and last) words would likely be, "hold my beer while I try this."

You know we are well and truly fucked when the President of Russia is trying harder to keep the USA out of a stupid nonsensical war, than the POTUS..........

Frankly, I think Putin might make a better president for the US than Barry O.
Hell, I wish we had Shillary right now, even she'd be better. I suspect she would have nuked (metaphorically) Benghazi just to make sure she looked strong. Would have been a better outcome than Barry sleeping through it.
Actually, a random name from the phone book couldn't hurt.

In reality, my Golden Retriever would be a better president than Barry. She knows not to shit in the house and not to bite the hand that feeds her.
