Hang the captain and first mate, take the oil, sink the ship. This is how we've always dealt with pirates.
- Scrap the ship, don't sink it. We have more than enough waste on the bottom of the various oceans and seas as is.
  
  You can responsibly strip and scuttle large vessels to help facilitate reef development
  
  Fair enough, but that's still a form of scrapping as opposed to outright immediate sinking of the vessel. Far too often vessles are sunk, mostly intact, and that is causing countless amounts of pollution in our waterways.
  
  You are really bad at pirate
  
  But you have heard of me.
  
  A Pirate can be eco-conscious without breaking Pirate ‘code’.
  
  They use end of life ships for this shenanigans anyway. They are essentially already scrap.
  
  This is normal for russian navy as even their flagships are in a state a civilized nation would consider "scrap".
  Moscow didn't even know it was being sunk since its systems were in such disrepair.
  
  Does hitting a Russian warship with it at full speed count as scrapping?
- Aim it at the port of St Petersburg and put it on full power. Let them deal with it
  
  The captain is Georgian and the crew is Georgian and Indian according to the article, why saint Petersburg?
  
  Because its literally Russian black fleet ship
- An extremely public trial would be more effective.
- In some civilized parts of the world, we've renounced death penalty some time ago and only the far-right wants it back.
  
  "They go low, we go high!"
  
  If not wanting state sanctioned killings is your "high", you might have other problems.
  
  What is your "high"?
  
  Not killing people, it seems.
  
  We are going to high-road the shit out of them.
- Strap em to an anchor
  
  Fuck them with a rusty anchor
- And how do we deal with saboteurs and enablers of sanctions evasion?
