#1 Anarchists who ignore the law of the sea, disrupting the activities of ships flying colors under a sovereign nation, crying about hot pursuit and getting what they dish out. You are not the victim, but just another perp.

#2 One wonders what they were doing to cause the Japanese crew to defend themselves. (And I do think they were defending themselves against aggression).

Hoping the Japanese crew had video running - this could be interesting.....

#3 I had to chuckle at the idea of the RAN enforcing French territoriality in antarctic waters.

Not gonna happen.

#4 I'm curious where the law of the sea falls on this, because in a lot of ways the anti-whalers are acting like pirates. Are the anti-whaling laws legally enforceable in international waters?

#5 Ahh, NIPPON, great at building cars + producing weird anime-manga, among other, but yet AFAIK NOT good at WHALE, FISH MASS PRODUCTION = AQUACULTURE. One would think that a Nation that hrvests WHales would be Globo Numero Uno in SAFE WHALE MASS-BREEDING + OCEAN STOCKS RECOVERY.

Iff techs-savvy Nippon can kill the original GODZILLA with an Underwater "OXYGEN DESTROYER" device, SAVING WHALES BY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF WHALES, etc AND JAPAN-WORLD SHOULDN'T BE AN PROB!

Ya can't eat so-called "snake porn/anime", or can you???
