The United States has proposed allowing private vessels to seize Russian tankers

Despite the sanctions, Russia continues to trade oil, and the US Navy does not have the strength to prevent this. The author of the article is convinced that there is a way out. It is necessary to revive privateering (piracy), which will allow private ships to seize Russian ships and cargo and sell them at auctions.

Well, the Russian navy has enough opportunities to find pirates of the 21st century, catch and hand them over for a fair trial.

By the way, pirates are not always judged. On May 6, 2010, after the assault of the tanker “Moscow University” captured by pirates by a landing party from the Russian warship Marshal Shaposhnikov, 10 pirates were captured, and then, according to the official version, they were “released” on the high seas.In order not to hang on the yards – government ropes cost money.
