I’ve been wondering why the navy doesn’t do anything about this growing pirate problem. Blowing 10 or 12 of these guys to Davy Jones could keep them in port for a month or two.
Separated at birth (....er death)
Huge ships with tiny crews are an inviting target to these people...
A single plasma TV from one container on these ships could feed 5 families for months in that part of the world...
The Pirates exist because the governments they base out of are either too afraid to do anything about them, or are taking a kickback from their activities.
No different really than in the golden age of pirates.
To get rid of this menace entirely, every government on the planet needs to be firmly entrenched against them.
