But of course talk is cheap. We’re going to have to back up this latest action with meaningful force. Anything less and we’ll be a paper tiger. Again.
My thoughts EXACTLY, Drew. If there was a functioning government in Somalia and they were actually trying to do something about piracy, then it would be different, maybe.
Well spat, Drew!
Some Somali hotheads will probably incite some poor youngsters into capturing a (non-US) ship and doing some reprisals to the passengers or crew, and then we are probably gonna have to kick some land-ass. But that’s OK. We’ll pour a couple hundred million bucks in afterwards for the local corrupt leaders to steal and spend on themselves. Meanwhile we’ve given the Libtards something to wax indignant about and climb up on their selfrightious hind legs and speechify about.
Ain’t the world grand!
I just read that lots of big Hollywood stars are wearing pirate eye-patches in support of the Somali asswipes. I’ll be going to precisely zero theatres to see movies this summer as a result.
McG, say it ain’t so. You were joking. Yes?
I mean, even they can’t be THAT stupid and we know they can be dim. But, really?
Too bad the USS Missouri is not available. Otherwise the Navy could just park it off the coast and let those 16” guns rumble for a week or so.
