A little maritime summary justice goes a long way
How about that - The Russians captured the Pirates, tied them up, put them on the boats, then set them all on fire - puff no more Pirates!
NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HERE!
This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The Euro Union navy that patrols these waters would not interfere because they feared there could be casualties.
All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says "This is not a fishing boat". All conversations between the commandos are in Russian. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves.
The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker. The Russian Navy Commandos moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives and then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it.
The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hung.
I would think from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somali pirates.
How can you prove that those men (pirates) were still on board when it was sunk? By the way, I'm just asking, cause as far as I'm concerned, if they were in fact still on the vessel, they deserved it. Less ilk to pollute our planet and hurt innocents. Later punks.
That International law aside, I have to no objection to sending every one of these pirates to Davey Jones locker every time they threaten commercial and military ships at sea. Why tie up the UN in a legal battle that might let these bastards free to repeat the same crimes?
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Well thank god they offer a mini-bar - it would be uncivilized otherwise! lol
Edit to add: I think I recognize that Fred from Cincinnati who was quoted!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I was on board with this idea right up to that part that the website disclosed that they played loud disco music, switch it up to heavy metal and I'm ready to book my reservation!
