#1 The idea that somalia has no government is a legal fiction promoted by l;iberal butt lickers. India could simply declare war on somalia, invade, kill thousands of somalians in unlimited war, sink every ship and boat that was not a captured ship, destroy all the port facilities,tell the UN to get bent , then leave.So could any other country with a real leader.

Pakistan (and China) would like that. And I wouldn't be too sure on the "and leave" part - at least on a set schedule. On the bright side, it'd be a repeat of the 'flypaper strategy'.

So could any other country with a real leader.

Any non-Western country.
