Russians make pirates disappear



I was anxiously awaiting to see how the Russians would handle the pirates who hijacked one of their vessels off the Somalia coast this week and they did not disappoint. I knew they wouldn't pussyfoot around and negotiate like some of the other countries.

Word from their Defense Ministry Spokesmen is they used a famous fishing method known as the "catch and release" but nobody is quite sure as to the current whereabouts of the pirates. At what point and where were the pirates released? Nobody knows because the Russians really haven't said what happened to the pirates.

I've seen a lot of magicians over the years and they never reveal the secrets of the disappearing act, so why should the Russians?

Well played, mother Russia...well played.

I agree!
Most countries would be fearful of infringing on the pirates rights.

And ruining a possibility for reelection.
