The oil tanker was the largest ship ever to be seized by pirates. The Ukrainian ship was carrying 33 T-72 tanks which cast a light on international arms smuggling. The tanks were ostensibly for Kenya. This puts that country in violation of a treaty designed to give transparency to arms trading. It is suspected that the tanks were destined for Southern Sudan in violation of a peace treaty there. The pirates probably don't have the port facilities to offload the tanks, but there were probably a lot of small arms and ammo to be looted. owner of an extensive collection of curios from the exotic orient |

It's not NATO's job to fight pirates. The shipping companies should ask Liberia to do something. It's their flag being attacked. owner of an extensive collection of curios from the exotic orient |

Quoting: coolhandluke74Nah just send a seal team and let them have some fun. The united states has no "dog in this fight". There are no large U.S. Flagged merchant ships. Most, big ships Fly Liberian or Panamanian Flags, (my understanding the fees are low.) and the promise of protection also low. Think about that before you're next disney cruise. In the case of the saudi tanker "sirius star" I heard it is a saudi owned ship, nationally flagged by saudi arabia. there is absolutely no reason for the US to give a crap. |

"the shores of tripoli" in the jarhead anthem is a reference to our campaign against "the barbary pirates"..... piracy is rampant in every ocean on the planet.... conventional forces can never stop it.... Well I think the real issue is that for some reason they don't seem to bother ships flying the American flag. At least I haven't seen any accounts of it in recent articles. Could it be the pirates don't want the US Navy coming after them? It is no secret where the pirates are based or where they take the ships that are held for ransom. "Everybody lies." |
