Wonder if the Axis of Resistance is going to be adding Somali pirates to the network.
How the hell is this still a problem? I don’t get how nobody’s been able to stop this yet. Cameras to see around the ship, couple of M2’s on each side, eventually they’ll run out of pirates or boats.

I feel like patrolling Somalias’ coastline would be a far better use of the military than bombing, invading and threatening innocent people. Which is still not great, but it’d be much more popular. But I guess we just love insurance profit.
