Please move if I've posted this in the wrong section. I think this is a highly interesting story and could spark some good discussion (or people merely agreeing )
Cliffs: Well the pirates had taken over a Russian tanker and after the Russian commandos took it over, they hand cuffed all the pirates to the ship and blew it the f*ck up and sank the ship with the pirates at the same time

Amazing video of court held on the High Seas..
An effective way to deal with the piracy mess. Looks like the Russians get their act together. A historic and effective
way of dealing with the lawless. They did make one mistake, however for added affect, they could have saved one pirate and sent him home with the story... Read the info below before watching the film clip.
This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says "This is not a fishing boat.". All conversations between the commandos are in Russian. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves.
The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker. The Russian Navy Commandos moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, and then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it. The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hung.
