Attack the pirate’s homes. It should be easy to track them down — they are the only rich people in Somali.
How can pirates be stopped?
Kill them.
Armed escorts with these ships. If that isn’t feasible,then install gatlin guns,arm the men with semi automatics.Go in armed!
Arm the cargo ships. Heavily. With ex-military that is well paid and well fed. Blow the bastards out of the water as they approach. Once or twice, word will spread, game over.
one well placed bullet will do it.
Turn a SEAL team loose on the goons holding the Captain.
Not exactly nice suggestions, I admit. But, when we did not nuke Somalia after what they did to Randy Shugart and Gary Gordon, we failed.
Kill them all.
Ummm...., make these other countries who have been paying “ransoms” for years to these pirates *pay us* to “rescue their butts”.... LOL...
Oh... and one more thing..., these countries have to come to the White House, on their hands and knees and beg the U.S. to help them out of the situation that they created for themselves... then we might help them...
Easy...arm your crew for petes sake. I think the whole world has gone dumb.
Every American movie fan knows that you’ve got to make them an offer they can’t refuse.
The majority opinion on the site is that military force should be used against the pirates. I think the Western world is stating to get fed up.
Geez, what is this issue....? Is everyone dumb and Dumber ?
Its like the 911 hijacking...rules of engagement in effect during the hijacking, were co-operate with the Hijackers.
Rules of engagement for the Military in the Pirate Hijacking/kidnapping....ARE.....do nothing if someones life is in Danger.
We need change....or at least hope of change in the Rules of engagement. When the Captain jumped in the Water, and tried to Swim away, how come the Boat people were not plastered with ammo ? The captain is not in the Boat, blast the Boat.
I know why, the rules of engagement and the current commander in chief doesn’t want Dead Somailis floating in the Ocean.
ARRRRRRRugula
The only good pirate is a dead pirate.
Nuke the site from orbit (It’s the only way to be sure)
Sheesh. You would think that the civilized world has forgotten EVERYTHING!
You do not stop pirates by looking for them on the high seas. That is a fools errand akin to searching for individual ants in the Amazon jungle.
You attack and wipe out their pirate ports, their sanctuaries. Pirates can only flourish when they have safe havens to sell goods, purchase fuel, arm up, buy and refit ships etc.
Destroy the pirate harbors, the pirates disappear. The West knew this 300 years ago. It is the only solution.
The rest is a joke, like attacking an ant nest in a neighbor’s yard by attacking individual ants in your yard with an ice pick.
