“Somalia rips Russian navy for casting captured pirates adrift”
Right. They should have cut them and trolled them for sharks instead.
(no sarc, I really believe that)
My thought has been that pirates should be hung outboard like boat fenders prior to entering port.
Very cool Wayne!
If they really believe their religion, they would rather not make waves in the Earthly world if it causes them to miss out on eternity.
I still like the hanging from the yardarms response best. And then sailing in front of Mogadishu harbor for extra effect. However, I guess casting them adrift with little hope of survival is not too bad.
Oh, c’mon, the Russians were FEEDING them (to the sharks)!
Don’t make Ivan angry, boys. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
Russia don't play around, Skinny. I'd love to see Somolia vs. Russia.
Pirates vow revenge on any Russians they capture after crew of hijackers abandoned in Gulf on Aden without navigation equipment or much hope of survival.
Do you have ANY CLUE what the Russians will release upon you?
Magnanimity does mean generosity so paying ransoms would fall into the category of supporting piracy.
Yes, employing the Seals certainly was a welcome exception to appeasing pirates by paying ransoms.
The four major clans; Darood, Hawiye, Dir, and Digil-Mirifle, must be taxing pirate income to keep their economy going.
Under international law and the old laws of the seas pirates can properly be summarily éxecuted upon capture. No trial needed. Method of execution at the discretion of the captors.
