RUSSIAN NAVY CAPTURES SOMALI PIRATES 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 BS 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. L8R Skip, still fairing I don't believe in fighting of any kind. I believe that we could have used diplomacy to handle this situation. If we could sit down with the Somalis and make them see the harm that they are causing, surely they would quit. Unfortunately, we have a few juvenile delinquents in rec.boats who specialize in spoofing the posting IDs of those other posters they don't like. The post immediately above was not from me. Yet another reason for moderated newsgroups. True, too true. And, one might add, so are you. MYA |

How does one get invited to your moderated group? Does one first have to become a horse's ass like you? MYA |
