Where are the Russians when we really need them?

Quote

Somali pirates are reported to have received a total of $12.3m (£7.6m) in ransom money to release two ships.

They are believed to have been paid a record $9.5m (£5.8m) for Samho Dream, a South Korean oil tanker, and nearly $2.8m (£1.7m) for the Golden Blessing, a Singaporean flagged ship.

"We are now counting our cash," a pirate who gave his name as Hussein told Reuters news agency. "Soon we shall get down from the ship."

As long as they continue to receive these ransoms this will never stop.  You gotta love Russia from time to time!

That is very true. Maybe some bullets flying into their skull will "change' their minds? :-) :hyper:
