Yes, you got it right. The Somali pirates.
They are rich and famous, aren't they?
Even the navies couldn't do anything to curb them.
Only lately there had been some serious successful counter-hijacking by the navies of Malaysia and South Korea albeit with some lost of lives on the pirates' side.
And this operation was sadly followed with the death of four Americans hostages during a stand-off between the hijacked yatch and the US Navy ship shadowing nearby.
For a layman point of view, why can't the navy just smacked them hard..?
Ok, the shipping company paid them millions of dollar, then they released the hijacked ship.. blah blah...they enjoy the millions, buying new weapons, motherships etc...and they at it again..
I say, why can't we track them to their lair, then we blast them off...surely sovereignty is not an issue here..they don't even have a government in the first place.
If we keep on paying ransoms, we are giving them wrong messages..
Why not we give them the RIGHT message after this? Surely they will behave right?
Or how about we do it the Russian way?
