#4 Green peace is setting themselves up for an epic fail. A more serious terrorist organization will disguise themselves as green peace and commit a larger event. Once that happens greenies attacking an oil well will be met with immediate violent intervention.

#5 I'd describe "green""peace"* as a low-intensity terrorist movement.

*pro red and fighting capitalist freedoms.

#13 "The last time a Greenpeace ship was seized was in 1985," the environmental group said on its Twitter feed, referring to the notorious sinking of its "Rainbow Warrior" in a covert operation by French secret services off the coast of New Zealand that year.

Twenty-eight years; my, how time flies.

#15 Now if Putie would just direct their unofficial hacking army to show us how to raid Greenpeace's bank accounts and publicly release their donor lists, that might be fun.

#16 P2K, Putin should put Edward Snowden on it.

Oh, wait. Snowden only does things that would hurt the US.
