Following high level complaints about "imperfections" in international law, Russia announced Tuesday that captured Somali pirates "have all died." A Russian official claimed that 10 pirates seized by Russian special forces aboard an oil tanker last week were quickly freed but then died on their way back to the Somali coast

That’s just a damn shame!
“I love how they freed them. most likely without food or water left then in a rubber raft miles from shore.”
No the Russian’s wouldn’t do that. I’m sure they stocked the raft with plenty of food and water. They just shot them in the head as the raft was pulling away. Hey even fish have to eat.
And the boat was leaking...
“The unidentified high-ranking Defense Ministry official did not elaborate on how the pirates died”....
Foget about it......
Were they Mirandized before or after the Ruskies killed them? /sarc
An WE have a metrosexual in charge ... (slaps forehead).
I guess Russki ships will be left alone now.
Um Achmed, I think we make big mistake, attacking Russian ship.
You know what, Mohammed, I think you are right.
They all volunteered for water target practice???
They sleep with the fishes.
Not really, they just hit like they all died.
Come to think of it, they field like the Living Dead too.
And their relief pitching reminds me of third-state rigormortis...
The shipping companies should pay the Russians to handle this. I did see a video with Dutch commandos regaining a ship in a firefight but sadly they did not kill the Somalis.
This is how a non-PC country acts. Let’s see what happens when these pirates attack a Chinese vessel.
Freed and they all died on the trip home. What an odd coincidence! /sarc
Guess it’s like the old good news/bad news joke. Except I bet the pirates weren’t laughing.
Bingo....We have winner.
Probably the same thing. Meanwhile, our leaders probably want us to read them their “rights”. Aren’t there a couple of somali pirates in court right now?
I knew all along these Pirates were not set free to go back to their homeland. You can bet they will think twice about taking a Russian ship. If all countries exercised the same type justice you would find a lot less hijackings and a lot more dead pirates as it should be!
Hard to paddle a raft w/a tap to the back of the head. Can Putin run our Homeland office?
Pray for America
Comedy was easy. Dying was hard.
