Russian navy ‘sent Somali pirates to their death’

First Post ^

[Little Ray]

Why is it that only the Sov, er, Russians have the common sense to do this?

And notice how the Somalis are NOT beating their chests and making threats against the Russians, like they did against us after we rescued the captain from the lifeboat?

[Ole Okie]

Why don’t we do this?

The ACLU would have the vapors.

[redlegplanner]

Nah -maybe they “baptized” them into bhuddism first, then “recycled” them. I do support green piracy....

[magslinger]

They should feed the prisoners...to the sharks.

[DemforBush]

“Russian media reported that the 10 men were set adrift in a boat with no navigational equipment.”

Seems a fair fate for pirate to me.

[C210N]

unidentified pirate who claimed the men were indeed dead...

well, you know what they say... you can't live forever.

Sunbathers watch Russian marines training for Navy Day, on a beach of the Neva River in St Petersburg, Russia

I commend the Russian Marines for being able to ignore the sights and keep their mind on the training!:)

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Oh, come on. Was that second question rhetorical? Does it really require an answer? Even the Russian Mob makes MS13 look like something off a daisy chain. They don’t even have to be high to enjoy it. They LIKE making people hurt.

Well done, Ivan. How about an encore.

[chiefqc]

I fail to se any down side to this.

[Fast Moving Angel]

Hm. Any chance we could hire these guys?

[Mr. Wright]

Sometime, you’ve got to love those Russians!!

[nascarnation]

Abdul, the good news is we’re letting you go.
The bad news is you’re unlikely to be able to swim 200 miles to shore.

[greatplains]

Well, if they are competent pirates, they should be able to navigate by the stars, right?

[verum ago]

I can think of a complication that might arise in keelhauling some pirates beneath a modern vessel:



Of course, I'm using the word "complication" rather loosely here ;)

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Who says there’s no good news anymore?

Come on you Ruskie lovelies, send some more somali criminals to that demon allah, even with the hundreds of millions of muhammedans roasting their stomachs in hell, there’s always room for more.

[Doohickey]

I guess the media figures that if they report on this enough, someone will eventually give a crap?

[arthurus]

It would be terrible to withhold rightful sustenance to God’s sharky creatures.

“Captain Bligh and can navigate and sail a small boat.”

Captain Bligh and his crew managed to travel 3600 nautical miles over 47 days in his small boat without charts or compass (though he did have a sextant and pocket watch). Apparently the Somali pirates lacked his seafaring skills.
