Good on India.

Someone needs to stop the anarchy.

For pirates, the appropriate response should have been to have them walk the plank in shark infested waters.

Streamed live on YouTube of course.

If they wanted to make a statement of deterrence.

I recall a few years ago a Russian ship was hijacked by Somali pirates. The Russian navy and special forces recaptured the ship, put all the pirates on their boat and sank it in a barrage of gunfire making a widely circulated video of the incident. I doubt any Russian flagged ships have been attacked by the Somali pirates since.

I support the Thomas Jefferson actions. IF a US flagged ship is attacked by these pirates, they need to meet the same fate as the Barbary Coast pirates.

The Indian Navy did a great job rescuing and treating the crew of the cargo ship Propel Fortune, and racing the injured to a hospital, several days ago.

What’s become of the stricken ship and the 2 dead that the Indians were not able to retrieve, I don’t know. Last I heard the Propel Fortune was afire and drifting.

We're told there's nothing we can do, but the Indians do it.

Could it be our own overlords like piracy?

Who knew India had a navy?
