Looks like the Ruskies have a better idea of how to enforce laws against piracy than the Illegal and his stooges. Of course, since he pirated the Presidency, it's easy to see why the Illegal sympathizes with his co-religioniss, the Muslim pirates of Somalia.

I love how they ‘freed’ them. most likely without food or water left then in a rubber raft miles from shore.

those poor yoots who attacked the Rsssian ship found it hard to row 300 miles back to shore with no water.
No navaids.
And no oars.

Maybe the Muslim pirates found out about Jew Fish and tried to suicide bomb them.

I thought the report of their release was suspicious.

Now it is more clear — the Ruskies didn’t want to be holding them as their demises ensued.
