How does South Korea deal with pirates? Commandos and machine guns.

I just finished a different article about the same topic. That was pretty awesome. In the article I read pirates are still getting paid and the price is only going up. So I think we need step it up by using these methods more often to help and deter the pirates.

Russia's take on the pirates

Not much of a surprise for me, having worked with them. Their national sport is a martial art. Sadly, searching the interweb I discovered some crap about Star craft being the number one national sport now or at least hugely popular.

Indeed, StarCraft and "e-sports" are enormously popular in Korea. I wouldn't be sad, if I were you, that a decade-old American product is so intensely popular not only in a field of rapid obsolescence, but also in a foreign country. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

On a side note, it is interesting that eleven of the crew of the Samho Jewelry were from Myanmar. Their country is run by pirates.

Almost as brutal as how the Russians deal with them:

I wasn't there & obviously don't know, but I would bet the South Koreans did it up close & personally (i.e., man-to-man). It is so Russian that they used the bully manner of standing off & blowing them to smithereens with their ship's weapons after capturing them & their ship.
