Yeah, I kinda knew “one” for sure, but I didn’t know how many more... :-)
But, it is the other countries’ problems and not ours... it’s about time that they stop catering to the pirates and stop paying them money. Why should the U.S. “pay for” the problem that they’ve been “pandering to” for several years now?
I most definitely agree with you, but I think that the chances of money not changing hands in these affairs is not likely to happen any time soon. It seems that for now the shipping companies consider it to be the most expeditious way of bringing about a non bloody denouement.
