SOMALI PIRATES ATTACK THE WRONG SHIP – BLAM!
This battle comes to a conclusion much quicker than your favorite war films. Also, the result is much better. These Somali Pirates attack the wrong ship and get their asses knocked in the water. Seems that the rules of engagement below are a little different now that Trump is ultimately at the helm.
The Somali Pirates encounter a group who takes their 2nd Amendment rights and applies them to the seas. What do you get when that happens? You get some total badasses who refuse to be victims of the Somali Pirates.
If the pirates were handled like this every time, there would be no pirates left. It would cease to be a problem. WATCH:
That’s the way ya do it! Any pirate volunteers? Shiver me timbers indeed!
Back in 2011, piracy was front page news as pirates held crews hostage only to ransom them back for as much as $13 million. The result was that maritime security costs shot up to $7 billion a year as the industry installed extensive security systems including lobbying for and receiving pricey navy patrols, as well as instituting protocols to re-route ships to take longer routes, or, at times increasing ship speed and fuel costs, while at the same time incurring hefty increases in ransom insurance rates.
Maybe it’s time for the maritime industry to stop traversing its well-worn mental pathways and to pry open some cognitive space to allow for new information and insight to take hold. Then it might see that it’s mixing up causation and correlation. Piracy didn’t drop because it’s waning. It’s been thwarted by costly and effective international coordination. Vigilance pays and as William Faulkner wrote, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
This is the day Jack Sparrow got his feathers numbered for just such an occasion…
