Gotta love that man!
If you want to deal with pirates, you should bring back Letters of Marque.
No more *bailouts* for the weenies who created this problem in the first place. If those other nations who have been paying ransoms for years — want to take care of the problem let *them* do it...
The U.S. has no business solving all those other nations’ problems (along with their shipping companies) — and standing there with their “hands out” asking for a “bailout” from the U.S. while our military does all the “heavy lifting” — “for free”... no less....
No way — no more *bailouts* and especially not for other countries...
How about Kenya? Don’t you think they are pissed that their supplies were almost disrupted by these thugs. It’s also BO’s birthplace.
He’s wrong on this one... this is just a prescription for more “bailout money” to be spent on foreign nations... no less...
Ben there, done that, in ‘93.
Germany for sure wouldn't touch it.
the willing require a leader
perhaps when the Russian navy arrives they will find one
...”political implications of such a move”? Like, they’re going to call their Ambassador home?

Since a Blackhawk was downed.
Let’s charge $ for US Navy protecton in the area.
France might be the only taker, and that’s a stretch. Heck, they might have to go it alone.
You done good.
