In the age of satellites the only way pirates can be successful capturing big ships is if they have a powerful government behind them. Otherwise they are going to get caught.
Once the pirates realize they can’t get the ships in the port for the booty they are going to start blowing up tankers and causing environmental problems. I wonder how the greenie watermelon marxists are gonna like that
I was wondering... What happens to them after they "get caught" ??
“In the age of satellites the only way pirates can be successful capturing big ships is if they have a powerful government behind them.”
or weak governments in the rest of the world ...back in the day of somali pirates, western governments refused to assist all ships not registered in their own countries, which was of course pretty much all of them because they register in countries of convenience ... as a result, the somali pirates operated with impunity from 2000-2017 ...
