Chinese Navy Scheduled to KICK SOMALIAN PIRATE ASS

[opihimoimoi]

The Navy has set sail for Africa......

Pirates negotiating big bucks and will soon evaporate into jungle with Millions of Dollars.....

Navy better get there quickly to stop future shit

[maxsolomon]

1. no jungles on the horn of africa

that money will turn into funding for islamist militias in yemen & somalia.

[rvablue]

5. Don't remember exactly where I read or saw this in the last couple of weeks

but I remember hearing/reading that the Islamist militias hated the pirates and were trying to stop them on their own.

[maxsolomon]

12. and take their money?

if i was an islamist militiaman that's what i'd do.

[rvablue]

20. Duh!

OK. Yes. I'm officially a moron.

Point taken....and it was so glaringly obvious I'm a dumb-dumb for posting my comment.

:blush:

[maxsolomon]

22. no, you were right

i didn't know they weren't allies. i was trying to save my generalization!

god jul!

2. Where were they when the European and Japanese were killing the fishing industry by over harvesting?

Why do you think there are all those men with boats looking for a living?

[madokie]

3. amazing isn't it that so often the reason for something is never given thought of

[Rebubula]

9. Obviously...

...they were eating dinner.

However, the time to debate that is either prior to the problem (slightly late) or after the world has solved this pirate problem.

Moreover, lack of fishing is only a small part of the economic problem in that part of the world. There are too many factors to start demanding reparations from Japan.

Of course, according to the Flying Spaghetti Monster - only pirates can save us from Global Warming.

4. That's good to hear.

I think? :shrug:

[bikesein]

6. How big of a navy is heading there?

Does not seem that the current navies who are patrolling are making a big dent in the problem. Too much open sea I guess. Are they sending a big enough force to make a difference?

[opihimoimoi]

7. They didn't say how many but showed some impressive pics of warships

Them Pirates gonna get chop suey soon.

[DainBramaged]

8. Right, the Chinese navy, is that like the Saudi submarine force?

And are we sure those aren't photo-shopped pictures of little sampans or something.

[opihimoimoi]

10. The Chinese have had some of their shit hijacked and are pissed off no end.

They are sending their Navy...not sure how many ships are actually going to the area but it should be around 5 or 6 big ones and 24 smaller guys for fuel/food/ammo/water.....

[DainBramaged]

13. And what happens when the pirates hijack one of their warships?

Do they even know where Somalia is?

[KamaAina]

11. How do you say "Black Hawk Down" in Chinese?

:shrug:

Mele Kalikimaka a me Hau'oli Makahiki Hou, E Opihi! :hi:

[opihimoimoi]

17. Aloha Dere Kama....come, we go Beer

:beer:

Mele and Hauoli....

[rug]

14. When did Skittles join the Chinese Navy?

I must pay closer attention.

[Selatius]

15. If you hijack Chinese trade ships nowadays, the regime in Beijing will only tolerate so much.

This isn't like the 1980s and before where they had very little in the way of power projection. China has been trying to develop a blue-water navy for a while now, not the shallow-water fare they've been fielding since the 1950s.

[Mika]

16. Why isn't the US Navy going to do the ass kicking? Didn't any Saudi royalty snap their fingers yet?

Or is this just bringing another layer of force into the eternal game - the new generational GWOT?

[Swamp Rat]

18. "Hohoho!! ... La kuna bato chop suey de subi wermo!! Hahahahaahh!!!"

[opihimoimoi]

19. Yo Swampy.....Happy Holidaze....

Come, we go fishing for mahimahi....ono ono licious

[Swamp Rat]

21. "Mmmm... nyum nyum... miku chone lickmoomoo!!!
