Now radio the nearest Russian warship to do the jobs Americans wont do. The crew on the Russian ship was locked away in a safe room. Here, if the Navy assaults they could start killing hostages.

What, looked at the aft end and read the friggen name? The name was "crudely" written over.

They ordered the pirates to follow them to Massachusetts for free health care, food stamps, and in-state tuition paid for with US government loans.

The Russians need to get involved to put the pirates on another raft 2,000 miles from any shore (and without food/water/paddles/etc.).
The Russians do this particular job better than any other country in the world, in my book.

if the Navy assaults they could start killing hostages Hostage situations are pretty frequent, and there are plenty of people who know how to resolve them. I can understand that Navy people seldom encounter such a thing, but here they are, and they need an advice. I'm not a specialist, but even I can think of an offer that is very hard for pirates to refuse. In parallel Navy can start planning the assault (they probably already do.) Pirates are not good fighters, so when bullets start flying they often surrender, knowing that "catch and release" is the norm.

Why not a few rounds through the engine room so they can't maneuver? Then conduct a “conversation” with them. Or wait for the Russians to see how it is done. (I never thought I would write such heresy.)

coalition warships and also by the use of best management practices by the shipping industry. These practices include the use of razor wire, 24-hour watches, fire hoses and high-speed maneuvers by vessels transiting throughout the area. Or in simplified terms: coalition warships running scared through the area.

We should pay Speznaz forces to patrol these waters with no questions asked when they catch pirates.

The simple solution to killing of hostages is that for every hostage killed, a 500 bomb will land in the nearest excuse for a town which has sheltered the pirates.
That is for the first piracy case.
For the second piracy, give the offending village a MOAB.
For the third, simply clear the coast of villages.
