Die EU-Staaten importieren weiter russisches Erdgas in Form von LNG und helfen bei dessen Verschiffung in andere Weltregionen. Auch Deutschland ist beteiligt. Der Handel mit dem Flüssiggas, an dem europäische Unternehmen mitverdienen, könnte sogar noch zunehmen. Das muss dringend aufhören.
It’s not really privateering, privateering would be in case of war. In time of peace it is piracy (and casus belli).
USA only do it to Iran because Iran can’t respond very meaningfully outside of doing the same which would also be piracy. Unlike Iran, Russia have an actual blue water navy and nukes. Piracy is awfully confrontative and it would skyrocket serious incident probablity.
Also Russia could eventually use Q-ship to catch them, afaik it’s legal against piracy.
