And that is exactly why all these nations had to send some 30+ ship alot of them warships to patrol coast's with how many thousands of sailors on them, burning fuel wasting time and resources from all those nations.
These ships need to be armed them self's, strap a few 20mm or .50's on them. now the "pirates" are threatening to kill any american or french hostage on sight. This calls for something a little bit more than a crew armed with one pistol or a rifle.
The "Pirates" have ak-47's other medium machine guns, and rpg's.
Otherwise it will be the blood and $ and suffering of untold thousands of others, who depend on these ships to get where they need to go, not to further help aid and fund a pirate nation who's people are more willing to highjack and port ships in free trade lanes, keep over 200+ people hostage, than they are to form a government and become any part of the real world.
Pirates only vanished in the past when the worlds major sea power's put a "war" out or piracy, drove them off the sea, and slaughtered them on land. Paving the way for free shiping through the blood of piracy.
And i say, if they wish to take a 1 million+ dollar ship put the lives of the crew at risk or death, than someone make them pay a "million dollar's in blood" to get it, or more.
Death to all pirates & Slavers alike.
Undeterred Somali pirates hijack 3 more ships, how many more till the crews and shiping company's are allowed or will do something more, and what type of message is this sending to other pirate nations?
