In reading about the american military's seizure of two ruzzian oil

tankers, in full view of the navy of the so-called "second-strongest military in the world", I find it interesting that neither of the two tankers were blown up, their crews were not blown up, a fairly calm operation. Tracked, in one case, for over two weeks. Amazing, is it not. No casualties, no littering of the ocean, no destruction of the vessels or their cargoes. Interesting.
