CDR Salamander: Anglo-American Anti-Piracy in action

Friday, August 12, 2011

We've got friends of this blog all over the anti-piracy news ... if you look hard enough.

I'm talking about it over at USNIBlog.

John said...: Good work for sure.

However, let's hope that on the next piracy event that the guilty SOBs are still there, and quickly dispatched with lethal force. Several iterations of that will work wonders to reduce the problem. Threats of "lawfare" are ineffecitve and inappropriate. Fine when being debated ashore, at on the high seas, piracy needs to be handled in the old fashioned way. Not with a "global force for good" but "our ships will hunt you down and kill you" approach.

Or is our sovereignty and safety so compromised that we no longer wish to assert them, even against two bit pirates?; 23:55

How to extricate us from that situation is beyond naval leaders, it is down to politicians... and we all know how do they work at the time...; 04:20
pk said...: have you noticed that the boys and girls in the stans are not taking many prisnors any more?

perhaps the nitwits are a few years behind.

we might even say that "lawfare" has caused the deaths of a considerable number of "borderline" festered rectums.
