Not much in the news these days about that Ukrainian ship with the tanks somewhere off the coast of Somalia. Today it's all about the supertanker filled with a $100 million worth of crude. Now all they have to do is hijack a refinery and they're in business.
Call me a naive, but you'd think the NSA has eyes on that part of the world 24/7 and has the kind of resolution on their satellites that allows them to see what the pirates are having for lunch let alone where they are.
Still, you have to think that the pirates are scared. I mean it's one thing to piss off the Ukrainians, but to grab a $100 million worth of crude from the Saudis? You know, where they cut off a limb for theft? Nope. They are toast. They don't make a Hallmark card for that.
