Greenpeace have experienced a setback in their effort to stop global coal shipments.
Watch: Polish Border Guards Storm Greenpeace Boat Blocking Coal Shipment
BREITBART LONDON
10 Sep 2019…
Video footage from Greenpeace showed the armed guards breaking a window to get into the captain’s bridge on the Rainbow Warrior, a tall sailing ship, and shouting that everyone should drop to the floor. The boarding occurred about 11 p.m. Monday.
Marek Jozefiak of Greenpeace said the ship’s captain and one activist remained detained Tuesday, along with the ship. Jozefiak, the coordinator of Greenpeace’s Climate and Energy campaign in Poland, expressed surprise at vehemence of the border guards’ actions against what he called a “peaceful action in defense of the environment.”

Another video of the raid;
What can I say? Western governments might tolerate Greenpeace’s economically damaging theatrics, but other cultures are less patient.
Thanks, Eric. I like videos with happy endings.
Since Vice President Pence was just in Poland and made some unusual comments, I picked up this :

“Why did Britain declare war for a cause and country it could not defend? Why did Britain turn a German-Polish war into a world war that would surely bankrupt her and bring down her empire, while she could not achieve her declared war goal — a liberated and independent Poland?”
That is a very good question.
Some in D.C. still don’t get it. Britain’s Churchill use of Hitler to attack east went awry after he went west. FDR’s biography shows how then Churchill came begging for help. FDR knew by 1936 war was inevitable.
So it looks like Poland was just bait in that geopolitical Great Game. I am sure some in Poland realize this.
Now US troops arrive in Poland – are the neocons baiting again?
“are the neocons baiting again?”
Who are these neocons? I can think of only a few names, and none of the names I can think of have any influence on the international situation, as far as I can see. So why should we be afraid of the neocons? I don’t see any neocon warmongers stomping through the halls of government. I think this is a conspiracy theory.
So Poland magically moved west of Germany?
“What can I say? Western governments might tolerate Greenpeace’s economically damaging theatrics, but other cultures are less patient.”
What like the French who resorted to terrorism, murder, and act of war against an ally?…

Sometimes, your allies aren’t. Nations have a right to put their own best interests first. Russia and China understand this; the U.S., perhaps somewhat, but the Europeans nowadays, not at all.
Greenpeace ecofascists getting a reality check….. I like it.
The Poles facing down a culture of green fascism.
On a related subject: an Extinction Rebellion offshoot was planning to disrupt flights at Heathrow by flying drones in the exclusion zone but the police first jammed the signal and the arrested them. On the news today.

Awful funny looking “Tall Sailing Ship” (not a sail in sight) looks more like a diesel powered cargo ship:
