I don't remember hearing the resolution to that piracy episode a month or more ago with the Ukranian freighter carrying the tanks, etc. that caused the Russians to send a frigate to the scene, so I Googled "russian frigate" and found out that situation is still unresolved...

British and Russia warships repel pirates:

IMO, it's ridiculous that a boatload of dumba$$es like this are allowed to hijack an entire ship....
I bet if you put a coupla Blackwater dudes on board a few ships in the next few months... with night vision and gatling guns, they could cut enough of these boats in half and kill enough of these bozos to discourage further attempts for quite a while.
