Imagine if this had been a Russian oilfield.  They'd've probably nuked it.

To be fair, if I was sitting in some command bunker somewhere and saw the Eye of Sauron rise from the ocean, my kneejerk reaction might be over the top as well.

I figure there'd be at least one Russian crazy enough to go try to roast marshmallows over it.

"Dmitri, what the hell are you doing ?"
