This is good news.

The Somali pirate problem might just become history.

Putin, say what you will of the man, takes no prisoners.

That’s what I’m thinking. Heck, they could fund a few more UAVs or whatever.

I have a hunch this isn’t going to turn out well for the pirates.

That was a disaster of a rescue attempt in light of how many hostages died. On the other hand, the terrorists were methodically wiped out. Armed Russian rescue team members walked up to each unconscious terrorist and coldly put a bullet into each slumbering brain.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why these pirates have not had their bosts destroyed. Ir could be accomplished in 20 seconds.

"Somalis hijack Russian tanker, warship dispatched" That's how it's done!

It's the proper start, for sure! Waiting now for the proper ending!

I hope Putin puts a hurt on these pirates that they will not forget.It is about time someone took the profit motive out of pirating. Make is so painful for them and their relatives friends enemies and anyone else associated with these ding bats. Those Ruskies still have a lot of Russian 44’s and lots of ammunition so let the show begin.

This is going to be very interesting.

Putin's not going to put up with this bullsh-t. Russian "Seals" won't be forced to wait days to get a shot in - Putin's gonna blow them out of the water...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! What do you want to be those dumb f’ers were thinking.. oh yea! “Mother Load its FRENCH!!”.

The morons thought they got a soft target! LMAO! The French! Haha!

OOPSIE.

Yea, the Russians are not the french. The Russians are just fine playing the game the way the terrorists do, only one worse. That’s why no one is messing with the Russians on the ground right now.

Those poor dumb ignorant sob bastards... LOL And well deserved! There has to be a Darwin award winner in the pirate bunch.. has to be... LOL This should definitely qualify.
