We all laugh as the Russians did what the US would not dot. We are a spine less nation. We would have fed them and then given them 1,000,000 as we didn’t read them their Miranda rights.

There was a suggestion that foreigners were “overfishing” Somali waters, thus the piracy...
To: LRS
If they’ll just hold off on their invasion a couple of years they can participate in the Russians’ bicentennial celebration of Napoleon’s famous attempt.
Best that they NOT research the end results of ol’ Nappy’s invasion, though. It could be bad for troop morale.

In this case I think “transitional government” means “just passing through”.
Here today gone tomorrow (after bilking the Somali treasury of all US foreign aid).
So, who cares what they say?

{We want an explanation from Russia on the death of our citizens, Abdirasak Aden, an official at Somalias Information Ministry, told Reuters.}
Type it up and tape it to a couple of cruise missiles. Send it “express air mail” to the somali ministry of piracy.

The Russians should just say they caught them drawing cartoons of Mohammed.

Somalias transitional government called on Russia on Friday to explain why it had cut 10 Somali pirates adrift in the Gulf on AdenRussian response: "We wanted to cut 10 Somali pirates to pieces, but we chose a kinder, gentler option. Meet the new Soviet Union."

Somalias transitional government called on Russia on Friday to explain why it had cut 10 Somali pirates adrift in the Gulf on Aden without navigation equipment or much hope of survival. Well, you see... They attacked a boat - it's called piracy. The wages of piracy are summary execution.
But thanks for asking, Tovarisch.

But American and other flagships which have exhibited magnanimity toward pirates will be will be targeted.
Magnanimity? Heck, they are supporting the pirates and many Somalis when they pay the millions in ransom -- which has been going on for years.
Piracy has become a business, just like the drug trade and human trafficking.

Unfortunately, modern ships do not have yardarms from which pirates could be hung.

“The penalty for piracy is death by hanging. The Russians didnt want to waste their rope...............”
Lets just equip the ships with planks...chum the waters before using the planks.
Also a joint Russian-US naval exercise to take out all the pirate haven in Somalia. End it now.

Bah HAHAHAHAHA!!!
It should happen to every pirate.
They should be thanking the Russians for not killing them then and there.
I hope this is an example of what Everyone should do when they capture a bunch of Somali pirates, except, I think they should be dropped off somewhere North of the Arctic Circle.....give them a little less of a chance....

Somalias transitional government called on Russia . . . If they don't have enough of a government to stop their own pirates, they don't have enough of a government to be worth responding to.

This is the kinder, gentler Russian response. In the good ol days, they would have placed the pirates’ testicles in gift wrapped boxes as parting gifts for their adventure on the sea.

Exactly, whay should we care.
It might be nice to go into their villages and capture some of the families of the pirates in true 1600’s pirate style.
Return the family when they destroy their own ships and give up all their weapons.
Sounds like a peaceful solution that my great great great grandad Capt Keno Greybeard would've done, yar!

It carries that same weight as if a cartoon character threatened the Russians.
