Ruskies dumping pirates overboard??? If they didn't then they should.
« on: May 07, 2010, 02:41:45 PM »
I have always respected the Russians for their utter lack of civility when someone screws with them.

Forgot to add my favorite quote in the article....

Quote
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had hinted Thursday at tough punishment for the pirates, saying "perhaps we should get back to the idea of establishing an international court and other legal tools" to prosecute pirates. "Until then, we'll have to do what our forefathers did when they met the pirates," he said.

Catch and release is perfectly acceptable. Catch them disarm them and then release them to Davy Jones court of the sea. Put a 20mm hole in the bottom of the dinghy and give them a teaspoon to bail and use as an oar to get back home.

What's so difficult about carting them home and prosecuting them...?

Considering the harshness of life in places like Somalia.....and considering the comparative paradise of a British / American prison cell (maybe not a Russian one)......if I was a Somalian I'd take up a life of piracy hoping to be captured, carted back to Britain and prosecuted.  I'd plead innocent and spit in the judges eye too, just to get a longer sentance.  We want to discourage these maniacs from doing this sort of thing, not reward them.

And why should I have to pay (in the form of taxation) for the transportation, legal proceedings and incarceration of these people?  I begrudge paying tax as it is.

How about making them live targets for our new soldiers?  It would eliminate the need of the shock of killing someone for the first time being in battle.  Using human targets would also be more realistic, as they would try to get away from the bullets.

Also, they could be used as disposable hand-to-hand combat dummies.  They would stand there, and the soldier would bayonet, knife, or simply club or choke them to death.  Ah Sparta, you always gave us the best training techniques!

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.

"sent home," unarmed and without navigational devices, in the small boats they had used to approach the tanker.

Perhaps the Russians did just that.  They didn't say whether they gave them any fuel or not and how far out to sea they were released. 

I doubt there is a Captain Bligh amongst the pirates.

No, each soldier would only get one pirate.  This is just to prevent them from breaking down from killing humans in battle.  This would keep them from having to recover during a firefight.  It would also weed out the weak ones from the pack.

P.S. I never said they had to like it, they should just have to do it.
