Firestart, we know your intentions are noble but you see things from the comfort of the first world. Our sense of morality does not apply everywhere. Tribal conflicts and civil war have been a part of many nations for thousands of years and that will continue within our lifetime. Until the Somalis can get there **** together, there's no sense in trying to change their ways.
This has nothing with changing the Somalis' ways other than effectively putting a stop to piracy. The ones who need to change their ways are certain unscrupulous Europeans and Asians and since an arsenal is already there that can be done at gunpoint. Other than being a good humanitarian measure and good for the planet that we all are living on, it will have the following effects on the piracy problem:
1) It removes any moral ground that the pirates may have
2) Any Somalis still engaging in piracy after effective anti-poaching and anti-dumping measures are implemented, are to be dealt with, with extreme prejudice (FiReSTaRT-approved )
LOL constructive piracy....
As constructive (and effective) as standing outside a G whatever summit and waving a ****ing sign thinking it will make one ounce of difference.
The poachers will stop poaching around the same time illegal downloaders stop illegally downloading. It's too easy and nobody is going to stop it no matter how many firestart tears are shed (online).
it's turned into a circle talk
Ok, so your solution is to send warships to allow Europeans and Asians to poach and dump toxic waste with impunity and starve the Somalis to death, and if any local objects, drunken yahoos who paid for human-hunting tours can shoot at'em?
wonder what the Russian rules of engagement are
Easy. If it's not Russian, kill it.
At least the ROE's are simple and easy to understand that way!
must be a bunch of bored first-world sailors wanting to beat their chests by murdering a few africans, right?
yawn. . .
krivak class missile frigate lights up a fishing trawler with a bunch of somali pirates armed with ak's and a rpg or two. . .
. . .a trawler that is sailing away from them, at least a half mile away, and not firing on them. . .lol, wonder what the russian rules of engagement are. . .must be a bunch of bored first-world sailors wanting to beat their chests by murdering a few africans, right? lol, just like the good old colonial days. . .
boooooring. . .
