Pirates? That’s what RPGs are for!
World law ....?
Thanks for the useful info.
It’s enough to kill pirates on the high seas. They will keep coming back. Entire pirate villages need to be carpet bombed.
Next we will be sicking our lawyers on them and having John Kerry Nuance them into submission.

Obama wants to reduce our nuclear arsenal. I would suggest dropping one on Mogadishu and the pirate’s port cities would help him with his plan...and the fact that the fallout will rain upon the Saudi Red Sea coast would be a benefit to the rest of the world.

They hang pirates don’t they?
I doubt if many of Jefferson’s marines could read, but then that wasn’t their job was it?
This is jimmy Carter like response, we needed a Reagen like response, Send the Marines! let God sort them out!
When you throw some one off a modern container ship that is the most likely Serrano.
Obama will take the strongest action possible in the World Court in Brussels. He may even ask for a restraing order.
