Russian sailors sent Somali pirates to their deaths at sea Updated at 3:15 PM
A group of Somali pirates captured by the Russian navy in the Gulf of Aden and then set free in a boat are most probably dead after failing to reach the shore, a Russian defence source said Tuesday.
The 10 pirates were captured last week after seizing a Russian oil tanker but were then unexpectedly released, with Russian officials saying there was insufficient legal basis to keep them in detention.
"According to the latest information, the pirates who seized the Moscow University oil tanker failed to reach the shore. Evidently, they have all died," the high-ranking source was quoted as saying by all Russia's official news agencies.
The source said that radio signals from the boat stopped just one hour after it had been set free by the Russian navy. No details were given over the manner in which they could have lost their lives.
Reports have said that after their release the Russian navy put the pirates in a boat some 300 nautical miles offshore, removing all weaponry and navigational equipment from the vessel.

BWAH!!!!
They probably put a bunch rounds through the hull to make it nice and leaky and then took bets on weather they would make it to shore before it sank.
Either that or slipped a timed charge into the boat.
Come to think of it maybe we can hire them to secure our southern border...

Heads up dummies, guess who will be next in line for this type tough love? Yep, the quasi-intellectual teacher / artsie-craftie / festive folk. Commies never seem to abide them too well either if history is any indicator (of course first they will enjoy showing you how to really work that 'farmette'.) :popcorn:

I DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. But condoning a death sentence without due process is anti-American. I'm seeing that a lot around here which, I think, is why we condone torture, rendition, indefinite detention, and the slaughter of innocents in Iraq, Pakistan, & Afghanistan.
We have lost our moral rudder.

The Russians aren't American, so why should they worry or care about our laws and Constitution. Obambler isn't concerned with the Constitution either.
Let's not discount the fact that these pirates were caught red-handed in the act.

These idiots think the whole world is nice and lovely like the US is.
They call us colonialists and then think they can apply the Constitution to the world and NOT apply it here.

Gee, Russians acting in an unamerican fashion... who knew? :lmao:

I'm no expert on Admiralty Law, but I seem to remember that one of the penalties for such acts is death.......
Took away their guns and nav equipment, and set them adrift under power.......sounds like a "fighting chance" to me.......just because they were too stupid to navigate without GPS, shouldn't give them a break......stupid should hurt.....good riddance.

The Somalis are claiming that they found the bodies and they have bullet holes in them. They are also claiming that the Russians are racist. :whatever:

The Russians are: and they're unashamed to admit as much. If you aren't Russian, **** with 'em, and they'll put you in a hurt locker.

Guess what? Call the Russians racist, etc., all you want, but I'll bet you any amount you like the number of hijacked Russian ships in the next few months will drop to zip-point-****ing-zero, and STAY there.

Racist or not, attempts at armed piracy on the high seas should be countered with deadly force......every time......and if caught, a rope and a yardarm is appropriate.......also every time.......the Master of a vessel at sea has nearly unlimited juducual power.........until either the piracy stops, or every Somali is extinct......

Russian sailor, "Hey fellows, I found our bathtub stopper. Somebody dropped it on the pirates get away boat."

Sorry, but this crap pisses me off......"oh they are poor, uneducated blacks from a third world country, lacking advantages and we should give them a pass........it's their only way of making a living in this cruel racist world"......bullshit......they are savages, and should be treated like this country dealt with the Barbary Pirates, under the same US Constitution two centuries ago......find them, follow them home......burn their vessels to the waterline, and their villages to the ground, kill their men, women, children, cattle and dogs.....salt the earth.......reapply if necessary.
Compared to that era, the Russians are wimps.......

Napalm seems to be a good way to deal with the villages.

Way to go, Russian sailors!
:cheers2:

Nah, wouldn't work well for several reasons. However, that's what WP shells are for.

Screw it. When you just have to absolutely blow something (like pirates) the **** up.

..I bet thats the last time pirates will attempt to take a Russian vessel for a long time...
As for the Russians being 'Racist' -- no. They are ultra-nationalist. I bet there are very few wussies in Russia who get all pissed off when the Russians salute their flag, Unlike here....
