A surcharge that will have to be added to shipped goods and commodities to compensate for raids where the pirates collect as much as $9,000,000 in ransom per ship and are now estimated to have killed numerous crews and collected some $300,000,000 in ransom of people and cargos. They have also started capturing oil tankers and now apparently are considering reselling the oil to other terrorist states.
Before you start blaming the victim, think about the total picture.
And it is heartbreaking. We don’t need any “no-go” places in this day and age, but unfortunately the US and other countries didn’t step in to stop this when it got started and now it’s only extending itself further every day.

We already pay a surcharge and it is called our taxes. I am tired of paying for the protection of multinationals who have left our country to put jobs in the hands of other peoples. And then want us to pay the premium of taxes so they can make monies anywhere. Let them pay for their own d.....d protection!
We have always had NO-GO places, like innercities of many American cities, and many highways and byways throughout the world. The world is and always has been a dangerous place.
It is their waters let them deal as they want. Lawless areas get poorer and poorer.
I think you misspelled the last three letters in your name, Chickensoup.
I mean, you are basically advocating a strategy of cut’n’run, you know.
