"You cannot legally enter these waters" *Americans enter anyway*

Read the reason of this campaign first before you spill this thread with your stupid comment. www.greenpeace.org

dreamcast guy 24 this campaign is far from over. i trust that you will never give up Greenpeace International!

Titouan B please give up, I like oil

+stompin stan YAY!

Stompin Stan good

What would they need the ship for? Fukushima is on main land... but I guess your point is, that you know better what agenda a global environmental protecion organization should follow. Because... And at last... please find GP information on the requested topic, for example here: www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/nuclear/Fukushima-nuclear-disaster/

Cute. Any real suggestions, that would reflect intelligence? Manhood? Strength? Compassion? Science?

Macartan Caughey I live 500 feet above sea level, so who cares?😁

Melting arctic ice will not rise sea levels, it's simple physics. The ice is already in the water, meaning it takes up a portion of the ocean's basin regardless of what state of matter it is in. It's like this. Take an ice cube and put it in a glass of water. Then wait for it to melt. The water level in the glass hasn't risen because nothing was added to the water, the ice just changed form.

+Georgia Dreamer Because assaulting an oil rig is wrong?

xevnoc It's wrong? What are you talking about?

Standard and expected comment, but you forget that Earth belongs to everyone on this planet. And if someone just wants to do better for the Earth in order to prevent awful catastrophes in advance by exposing real situation to the public, then they should do it. I'm pretty sure you haven't even watched this video.

Роман Рябов Никто не приходил ни к кому домой, успокойся. Ребята проводили акцию протеста и домой ни к кому не лезли. Все имеют право на мирный протест и на чистую окружающую среду. А вот посылать человека и обзывать - признак неуравновешенного состояния. Угомонись.

"yes, i know but is not our business" - it is translation from Russian which exactly what he meant was not his work but some other departments job, he translated as he could.

"Yes i know.........", confirmation of the accusation of Greenpeace. When this officer is visits the Greenpeace ship, he is officially representing the Russian Government. Everything he said is officially the voice of the Russian Government. That is how it works and should work. He speaks on behalve of the Russian Government during the whole meating, so also his words "Yes, i know........" he speak on behalve of the Russian Government. If he said things that doesn't represent the official stand of view of the Russian Government then the Russian Government should publically make clear this officer said words which not representing the view of the Russian Government. This is not done and therefore it is considered as the opinion of the Russian Government.

Robert Erkelens Not in any country in the world can officer speck "officially" on behave of representing "the government" for such things there is "Foreign Office", as well in Russia. When someone entering in any country’s territories they suppose to follow the lows and rules, that is how it works. About "Yes, i know...." the officers are not trained to be negotiators and ones again if to translate from our languish it most likely meant “Yes I understand you/your point of view” which doesn’t mean that he agrees with it. Then, Greenpeace is so much concern of that oil rig, but not that disaster that happened in Mexican gulf oil spill. It more looks like it is political issue against Russia than real job of Greenpeace that is almost obvious.

Sorry but that is the way it works. An other example: the captain of the coast guard ship the two rescued activitist was brought to, said "they are guests on my ship". Those words are used by the Dutch in the tribunal in Hamburg. As an officer you have to know what you are allowed to say and what not. If we should not take his words as he used them, then there was also no warning to leave the area and no warning that forced will be used against GP if don't leave the area. In these kind or circumstances it has to clear to the receiving party (in this case GP) and it should not become a riddle for them: what is officially and what if unofficially said. If the officer is not enough trained for this kind of situations or not enough skilled in English, that the problem of the Russian Government and no excuse to hide behind and they should have sent the right officer from Russian perspective. At that moment he respresents the Russian Federation. Just the same as the people at that conversation, represent the crew and Greenpeace as an organisation. A more extreme example, why this rule is applicable: Poetin orders to sink the ship if they don't leave. An officer brings this message to GP. GP choose to stay and the ship is sunk by the Russian Navy. Poetin would be in the position to say: i never gave that order, they decided on their own. Therefor an officer on an official mission, represent the Russian Government. Everything he says is the official point of view of the Russian Government. Your excuse only shows more, that the Russian Government underestimated the situation and thought they could handle it as they are used to with pure domestic matters. As said earlier in one of my comments: international matters you cannot solve in the same way as you solve domestic matters, other laws, other rules, other opponents. The Russian Government acted from international perspective very amaturistic. It makes me think about the denial of the Russian Government to have skilled translators present at the "interviews" with the detained crew. According to international law a Dutch translator needs to be available when requested for Dutch people, but although this has been requested several times, a proper translator is not provided. This is a violation of International Human Rights. If you commit a crime in the Netherlands, an official interpreter will be available in you native language if you request for it.

Robert Erkelens I understand your point of view but once again, I will not go so much deep in explanations. In our country different laws an officer can not represent the government just can't. But let us assume that in the court GP will take this officer’s words for there any purpose, I will tell you honestly, even if somehow(imaginably) he would be representative of the government and the government didn’t like that, he would be fired with the “back date” that means that during the interview he shouldn't be there and he wasn't informed on time. It is simple as it is, and therefore everything he said does not represent the government statement. You are trying to implement the rules that works in your country but not in our. I will give you example, if police officer stops a person in USA and tells him/her to get out of the car and if he/she does not comply officer might shoot him/her easy, in here even if he knows that person is a criminal he will not shout because it will be a lot of problems instead he will call for OMON(Swat Team) those guys don’t talk they kick and shoot, that is how it is here. Our disagreement is in international low but the problem is this all happened in our territory so the implementation of lows are Russian Federations here, for every action there is reaction(proverb). A person is judged upon the actions were made, the actions of GP were bad particular in this story. And for real, what did they expect? That oil rig would stop working and be removed from there? All I see is just a political motivation against Russia.

Then swim in my backyard beach
