GOOD
Lesson: Do not mess with the Russians.
Ahh yes, even the Somali pirates are playing the race card...
Wonder if they ever considered the fact that they raid ships illegally as the reason for their mens' execution...
Naaaa! CAN'T be! Race trumps EVEERYTHING!!!! /s
Would seem more appropriate to see Gibbs on a parrots shoulder.
The Russian equivalent of “catch and release”.
Good. It embarrasses me to have to give credit to the Russians for understanding the way pirates should be dealt with.
There is a reason piracy disappeared from nearly all the civilized world. It became taboo because pirates who were caught were dealt with quickly and harshly in nearly all situations.
These pirates do what they do, because WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. Sure, they lost a few guys, but they still live affluent, safe and protected lives as they check the time on their diamond studded Rolexes.
Stop overfishing our waters...
Just helping you cut bait.
I guarantee that no more Russian ships will be hijacked.
Wow! Too early yet! That should have read: "Wonder if they ever considered the fact that THEIR RAIDING OF ships illegally IS the the reason for their mens' executionS..."
Definitely need my infusion of caffeine prior to posting this early in the morning...:-)
And?
The only thing the russians did wrong - loaded them back in their boat rather than just dumping them for the fish. Sharks gotta eat too.
“...over fishing.”
Yes, all that fishing by those tankers and cargo ships. The shipping owners should let the world know that they have hired the Russians to negotiate all future hijackings.
shot them point-blank range then loaded their lifeless bodies back on the boat,
And the problem is???
Good for the Russians!
Glad to see someone still knows how to deal with pirates.
“Not one Somali or the government of our country sees Russia has being guilty in this,” [Ambassador] Handule told ITAR-TASS news agency.”
For some reason, I’m reminded of that scene in Airplane! where the Russian news broadcaster is reading the nightly news while a pistol is pointed at his head by some unknown person standing off screen. :-)
Anyway, no sympathy for the pirates. If they “got it in the neck”, from the Russkies, then that’s their fault for being an EFFIN’ PIRATE!
The Samalians may be stupid but they know how to play that old “Race Card”.
>>>>“We condemn the action of the Russians, it’s driven by racism and hate for black people and Africa<<<<<<
No pal it’s driven by you guys believeing you have a right to demand payment for pirated ships.
The Russians have done what should have been done all along.Take back the ships and kill anyone on board who is guilty of having hijacked it. Their presence is proof of their guilt.
