follow-up thread on Iran tankers headed to Venezuela

I find one very important factor that has not been mentioned from what I've read of the mentioned thread.
I agree that the U.S. should step in and prevent this to happen. However, in almost all the responses from posters is that we should sink the tankers to the ocean floor.
My question is...if the 5 Iranian ships loaded with oil are sunk, has anyone considered the catastrophic damage done to the oceans with 5 tankers full of oil released into the ocean. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

Nope.
We blew up tankers by the hundreds in WW2. Big deal.

You don’t sink the tankers. Why would we do that?

Using that logic just nuke em

Saltwater is much meaner than oil.

We just have to send a couple of cruise liners to blockade them.

How many tankers to you think were sunk in WWII in both the pacific and atlantic?

Only an absolute retard could think any substance made by mankind, fabricated from raw materials sourced from the earth, could do "irreparable" damage to the earth.

How many gallons are we talking?

Ma'am, did you know that oil is a.... (take a deep breath here) NATURAL resource?
Did you know that throughout the modern times, oil has been sank at sea?

Way more oil is naturally released every year than what would be released by these five ships. Way way more.

The PR would be ten times worse than the damage to the ocean.

Tankers aren't going to be sunk. If anything, they'll be ordered to turn around and go back home. They may even be boarded to see what else Iran packed in them ships. At least that's how I see it going

Yet some clowns think it's the equivalent of nuking them.

You don't sink them.
You try to turn them back. If they don't turn back, you board and seize them.

Yeah dumping millions of gallons of oil into the sea isn’t cool
Posted on 5/21/20 at 3:18 pm to BuckyCheese
You harass the shite out of them with aircraft and destroyers. When they get close to the Windward Islands have the Coast Guard board them to search for embargoed contraband. Arrest the crews and seize the ships.

5 tankers full of oil in the great big ocean is a nothing burger. The oil seeps way more oil than that daily.
Off Santa Barbara alone there is a seep that leaks 20 to 25 tons of oil a day and has for a hundred thousand years.

Irreparable to Earth as a planet, as in a big rock in space, no. Irreparable to some of the living things on the planet, including us? Absolutely.
If you consider the material in a nuclear reactor a "substance", then imagine a Chernobyl in every country. That'd be pretty irreparable to most things on Earth and made of totally raw materials sourced from Earth.
