Navy vs. Pirates

Now they have seized a Russian-operated oil tanker.

Pirate 1: "Let's piss off the Russians next!"
Pirate 2: "Yes! They would never use force to handle a situation."

Let's hope the warship being sent turns the pirates into crab food.

Pirates in the Gulf of Aden Wednesday seized a Russian-operated oil tanker with a crew of 23 that had been on its way to China, the European Union naval force said.

The Liberian-flagged oil tanker Moscow University was hijacked Wednesday morning, the naval force, EU NAVFOR, said. A Russian warship was heading toward the position where the ship was hijacked, EU NAVFOR said.

Yeh, somehow with the Russians involved, I don't see a lotta money changing hands - nor would I count on many live hijackers once the situation is resolved!

True - unfortunately I don't really expect too many live HOSTAGES left either.
