Britain Stops Russian Ship Carrying Attack Helicopters for Syria
18th June 2012
A Russian ship believed to be carrying helicopters and missiles for Syria has been effectively stopped in its tracks off the coast of Scotland after its insurance was cancelled at the behest of the British government.
There’s a First World solution to a Third World problem.
British security officials confirmed they had told Standard Club that providing insurance to the shipment was likely to be a breach of European Union sanctions against the Syrian regime.
Of course, in the old days, Russians didn’t care about insurance. But that was then, and this is now.

“Of course, in the old days, Russians didn’t care about insurance. But that was then, and this is now.” Progress of a sort, I guess.
