    You realize that a lot of Russian oil gets “laundered” and then imported to the EU? So you would likely blow up an EU port, which is like a double Christmas and birthday gift to Putin.

      It would probably blow up the port doing the laundering, which is unlikely to be happening in the EU.

      But it would even more likely blow up an Indian or Chinese port.

      It doesn’t matter. Like I said, I think this is a really bad idea. Mainly because it is collective punishment, and almost all of the thousands of victims would have had nothing to do with their corporations’ and their governments’ decision to buy that oil.

        Last year I read that Italian oil refineries were refining Russian oil. Anything for a profit for some businesses.

        They also pump oil from ship to ship while at sea. It is said that this ship in particular also was involved in such maneuvers, which of course are highly dangerous and can easily result in oil spilled.
