There’s nothing tragic about this spill. Russia is using ships for sea duty that are only fit for inland waters, and it is totally failing to take appropriate care of its environment in every aspect of Russian life.Outrage, yes, but no tragedy.
Exactly, nothing tragic, oil spills happen everywhere, and the most outrageous ones have been in the west:Gulf of Mexico (267 spills)Northeastern U.S. (140 spills)Mediterranean Sea (127 spills)Persian Gulf (108 spills)North Sea (75 spills)Japan (60 spills)Baltic Sea (52 spills)United Kingdom and English Channel (49 spills)Malaysia and Singapore (39 spills)West coast of France and north and west coasts of Spain (33 spills)Korea (32 spills)
