Piracy “is a problem that starts ashore,” Gortney added
If enough pirates “failed to return to shore”, the word would get out pretty quick.
Armed crews, ready and able to use them, is the only answer. Diplomacy in Somalia is a joke. UN sanctions are a joke. Soot them right out of the water.
You wouldn’t need an armed crew. One trained guy with a .50 cal could do the job. You could sink their boats from half a mile away.
