This is going to be very interesting. Somali Pirates may have stepped in it big time. They hijacked a Russian tanker with 23 Russian sailors aboard. To top it off the tanker is loaded with Chinese owned oil.
A Russian warship with combat troops and helicopters in on the way.

Oh, this should be fun. The Russians aren’t someone you want to mess with.

I heard a story about this once:
In the 1980s, Lebanese Muslim terrorists took some Russians hostage. The Russians tracked down their families and started to send them their family members in packages - one or two pieces at a time. The terrorists learned never to take Russians as hostages.
Anyone know if that story is true?

Can’t wait for our liberals to get the vapors over the Russians’ non-pc response to this.
(Oh what am I talking about? Our liberals always give the Russians a pass.)

This is going to be very interesting. Somali Pirates may have stepped in it big time. Exactly right. The Russians don't give a crap what 'world opinion' has to say about it.
If I had to guess, I'd say that one night the ship will be under pirate control, and the next morning it'll inexplicably change course for a friendly port amidst a cacophony of burping fish.

Oh, this should be fun. The Russians arent someone you want to mess with. Once, people said that about us.
Before Teheran.
The Russians knew how to "Talk" to them.

As the phrase goes, “Big Mistake”. ;)

I hear much the same. But, they found the hostage takers and the terrorists found them in the streets, mutilated. No more Russian hostages taken.
