Yesterday Russian navy tanker GENERAL SKOBELEV idled by Sweden's border a few hours until a Swedish corvette approached and maneuvered at high speed.
The tanker is often accompanied by proper warships and is at present shadowed by Danish navy leaving Baltic Sea.

Dell’Europa sento dire il peggio: pavida, irresoluta, divisa, imbelle. Eppure, con tutti suoi limiti, se oggi al mondo esiste una “land of the free” è proprio l’Europa. Ucraina in testa. Senza l’Europa il mondo sarebbe in balia dei tiranni. Non vorrei mai vivere in altro luogo.

Bottom line:
ALL of the strikes are extrajudicial killings under international law, murder under domestic law.
That's true of a first strike on any of these boats, & also of Sept 2 strike killing shipwrecked survivors (which would *also* be illegal in an armed conflict, but the US isn't in one).
