The Russians bombed a metric fuckton of these tankers once, and the Ministry of Defense published gun camera footage of the strike directly on their website. I distinctly remember PBS reporting it as an American strike and showing the Russian footage. Probably had to crop out the Cyrillic (as if anyone who watches PBS for news would ever notice).
When the mainstream press asked one of the government spokesholes about the Russian strike and why the US hadn't bombed the tankers themselves, he said, "Well, of course we knew all about them and could have destroyed them any time, but do you know what kind of an ecological disaster that would cause? The Russians are completely irresponsible."
We would all be farther along in life if we had 1% of that level of psychopathy.
