    There are occasional where Russian brutality is effective and necessary. This was one of them.

    The pirates have certainly avoided US or Russian ships-except for the ones that were so dumb as to try to hijack a frigate at night, mistaking it for a freighter. These ain't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

    Americans will parachute in snipers that can shoot all of you in the head simultaneously at 200 meters from a pitching ship. Russians will let you go but with a time bomb on your ship. The seas are full of Liberian ships with South Korean officers and Malaysian crews, none of whom give a chit about their Dutch owner's fortunes. The Somalis may be dumb, but they do learn.

    A lot of other countries just don't care and will execute these pirates at Sea. I remeber watching some history channel show on pirates and the US armed forces. When the US would catch these pirates they would see them throwing weapons into the ocean. But when they boarded the boat there was no evidence so they had to let them go. If it were me, I'd let them go with a bullet hole in the boat and let them sink slowly and die.

    the u.s. navy needs to just start offing these mf'ers. trying them in u.s. courts when captured and jailing them, just gives them better living conditions than in that shyt hole they are from.

    I agree. It's a big ocean. The shippers need to hire a couple of mercenaries per ship, arm them with 50 cals and tell them their job is to see that no pirate boards the ship. Blow them out of the water when they get within 100 yards of the ship and who would ever know?

    Either that or napalm Somalia. Either plan works for me.
