An extremely public trial would be more effective.

    You definitely could. A hanging lasts less than a day. A trial could stay in the Overton window for much longer.

    Remember these are not pirates they are crew being told what to do with families back in Mother Russia and a great many pressures on them. Better a trial with all the details spewing forth and Russia blaming birdstrike and threatening armageddon over a cable.

    Being told to commit crimes. So, like pirates?

    Pirates are not state sponsored they are self motivated and opportunist, the people responsible here are likely reluctant state operatives, possibly not fully aware of the consequences.

    Thats one far fetched speculation after another.

    You have no idea if they are state sponsored or not, and no data to prove it either way. Their actions follow a pattern of state sponsored destruction, but somehow you deny it. Seems you are just making stuff up here.

    You are being deliberately obtuse and using other accounts to mark yourself up so no more food for you.

    How am I using other accounts to mark myself up? I have no way to prove it (although I imagine maybe a mod could), but you're wrong about my using multiple accounts too. This making up stuff is a habit for you, I see.
