Ruskies dumping pirates overboard??? If they didn't then they should.

[guncrasher]

I remember back in the 80's when they were kidnapping lots of people in the middle east, mostly Americans and British.  but once a Russian was kidnapped, the KGB found who was holding him hostage and kidnapped a relative of the guy in charge of the kidnappers (an uncle if i remember correctly) then cut his head off and delivered to the kidnappers, the Russian hostage was released a few days later unharmed.  no other Russian was kidnapped after that.  like they say, you play with fire, u are gonna get burned.

Yes.  I'm sure it is a good idea to get soldiers to like and enjoy killing people.  Why not just recruit directly from prison?  I'm sure an Army of psychopaths would be very efficient.

Oh wow, that really makes me respect those particular badass Russians so much.  That guy's uncle must have had oh-so-much responsibility for what his nephew did.

just saying....... what exactly?

[Yossarian]

Having your location set to 'My own smoldering crater' could be seen as being roughly equal to that picture you posted

[froger]

  devils advocate here   

alot of these pirates are displaced fishermen due to the fouling of waters from the international oil business...

just saying...

I would offer them a smoke n a beer 

and then duct tape them together 2 by 2 and toss um over the side.

at this time it would be great to enjoy a beer and a smoke and watch the show 

now does this not sound like a ton o fun or what.....

The foreign fishers pretty much abandoned the place once it became too dangerous to operate.

as I understand it the illegal fishing and waste dumping is still going on, despite the ransoms it still makes economic sense, especially the dumping. I saw a report about a month ago from somalia and amazingly you could see a spanish and an asian vessel operating within plain view of the shore ...


edit: have the pirates actually killed anyone yet?

"no details were given as to the manner in which they lost their lives"????

I don't know for sure but i imagine 7.62x39 may have played a part

In Russia when you are making a phone call, does the operator ask you to press 1 for Russian?

Nah it says press 1 if you want party to monitor your calls, press 2 if you want 10 to life in Siberia.
