We haven't heard from our pirates (in the RP) since TD bought them off. Perhaps this would be a good time to have a little "surge." |

What amazes me is how a DANISH ship has AMERICAN sailors on it. Since when don't ships have low wage workers who don't complain about conditions? |

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I thought this would end up dragging on. |

Three shots. Three kills. All headshots. That is the United States Navy SEALs, gentlemen. |

Aye, quite amazing. What do you think the best way is to address the piracy problem? Work on the problems in Somalia? Increase security on ships? |

Have someone (other then the United States) invade Somalia, place it under foreign rule. Then have India and Persian Gulf states put some warships near Somalia. |

Somebody at some point in time is going to have to send troops into Somalia. They may be pirates, and thus call the sea home, but the port a pirate uses as his base is just as important as his ship. Right now, the only nations that have taken direct military action against the pirates have been the United States and France. While the latter could possibly be willing to go in (I'm not sure if that is actually a possibility for the French, but France at least has shown it has the balls to take action), there is still very, very little chance the US would intervene on the ground. That's not so much to do with our obligations in Iraq and Afghanistan, but more with what happened in Mogadishu. We don't want a repeat of that, and we're still a bit afraid of it happening again. So, for the time being, I think the most we'll be able to do is step up our patrols, and maybe even do some raiding of our own. But this won't end until we go in and take those ports. Even with taking the needed economic approach (making it more lucrative to pursue a career other than piracy), we just can't send in developers or drop bags of cash. All the pirates will do, especially now that the ante has been upped, will seize everything and everyone we send in. We have to take those ports. |
