Remedy to Somalian Piracy with a Russian Touch

The Somalian Pirates had been a global pain in the ass for years and so far nothing effective had been done about them except the Indian Navy had sunk one of their (captured fishing) boats.

Only occasionally just 1 or 2 of these pirates had been shot dead by navies in action, generally they had been very lucrative and safe as well as SUCCESSFUL - bastards!

I have totally no objection to this, it is proven that not only Joseph Stalin can do it with cold brute, Putin can do it too. And that served the pirates right!

  • Russia announced Friday it had released the 10 Somali pirates captured the day before in an attack launched by one of its ships in the Russian oil tanker, Moscow University, deploring the "imperfections of international law," having failed to hold the suspects.
