Worth reading...

The militiamen, the Jerusalem paper said, did not cease their attacks, and the body of one of the Soviet diplomats, Arkady Katkov, was found a few days later in a field in Beirut.

The KGB then apparently kidnaped and killed a relative of an unnamed leader of the Shias’ Hezbollah (Party of God) group, a radical, pro-Iranian group that has been suspected of various terrorist activities against Western targets in Lebanon.

Parts of the man’s body ( his reproductive organs) , the paper said, were then sent to the Hezbollah leader with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.

Kidnaping Russians is a very bad idea.

“Kidnaping Russians is a very bad idea.”

They seem to take such things seriously.

For certain there will be regret, and it’s not probably they are going to die, but when.

They were quickly freed "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!" which under Obama became "Please don't hit me, I'm a bleeder."

While it’s true that revenge is best served cold, it is in fact healthy to serve it. But it is not healthy to be the one to order it and eat it. In this analogy, Putin is like McDonald’s and the Pirates just ordered a Happy Meal, making this the first drive through for boats. So maybe it’s more like a Red Lobster with a drive through, or like the Love Boat, but with Putin instead of Julie. It could be many things. That’s what’s so wonderful about this story. Let’s watch!

Apparently the pirates are climate deniers because they hijacked a ship full of wind turbines. LOL!

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but my advice is to be careful when you hijack Russians.

You might not think you do, but all civilized countries have a dog in this fight.

I really like the idea that piracy is punished by summary execution whenever & wherever it is found.

And how were they stopped in France? By a horde of axe wielding Franks. Back when Franks still spoke German. Of course, looking at Germany today, maybe the language didn’t really have anything to do with it.
