Nikolsky said via a satellite phone that a Russian
sailor died Sunday due to hypertension. Other crew
members were fine though, he said adding that he
could see three ships about a mile away, including
one carrying an American flag.

Did you notice that the pirates have a spokesman (who was not available for
comment.)


Yeah, I pictured an elegant, bespectacled man in a bespoke suit
reminding some loved ones that there are only so many appendages that
can be amputated from a soul before that person retreats to the
ultimate spiritual form.


I gather the asking tariff per is in six figures so just paying them
with your FastTrak as you go by isn't really an option.

well if those fishermen have a brain among them those 72's will be
stripped of the targeting and guns strong mounts included and be
installed on the mother ships. depending on what kind of ammo they got
(and i assume that with the military response they got some good
stuff) those tin cans will stay well away.- Hide quoted text -
