Russian Navy captures Somalian pirates

Here is the link to the Russian site: http://true-turtle.livejournal.com/85315.html

This videotape 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 speaking is in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English. 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 had the right to decide what to do with the pirates.

One would think that from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somalia pirates.

Great video. No cruel or usual punishment - just real and swift justice.

Now you two are PRAISING Russia? Maybe you should move there if you like it so much.

(sorry, couldn't resist the typical right-wing response)

come on pine, let's go with your typical liberal response, a liberal judge would say "you bad boys, your breaking the law, and you gotta be punished, so..lets start by getting you boys some help! Two days in a boys home, your hands slapped, and, a free education, food stamps, free medical for you, your family, extend family, and any neighbor that lived with-in 10 miles of you for life. You can vote, we like illegals to vote, and a cell phone. That sounds about right, don't ya think pine?

Hardly praising Russia.
I was celebrating the bad guys getting swift justice.

By the way, I value my American citizenship and would never surrender it. Any truth of the rumor you are moving to France? You want to embrace socialism.

Where do you come up with these ridiculous strawman scenarios?

No, it doesn't sound about right. A liberal judge would say "you're outside the territorial waters. I have no jurisdiction here." A conservative judge would OK rendition, torture in a third country and then ship them off to Gitmo with no trial.

It looks like the righties prefer the Russian laws to American laws. They say they love America, but they think Americans are lazy and stupid, they think American laws are wussy, They hate the American government. What do they like?
