#1 It's a good thing that all these warships are basically sitting around doing nothing. Anti-piracy patrol where they can't even arrest the pirates seems like a pretty trivial place to put a substantial portion of the free world's naval strength.

#2 Exactly, gromky.
"Hey, look guys! Some pirates over there are seizing a ship!"
"OK. Make a note of it in the log"

#3 Everybody root for the Caribean pirates
who preyed on fat Spaniard galleons.

At least, the Spaniards tried to defend themselves.

Nowadays, merchant ships cannot surrender fast enough.

Somalis would be fools not to take advantage of these fat turkey cowards sailing under their nose...

It's the law of nature that whimpering victims be slaughtered, especially when they are "protected"
by Turkish moslem sympathizing turkeys...

#4 Turkey, Navy?
Didn't they ship olive oil across the Med to Alexandria?
