Yes Madelyn Jimenez cabrera vargas yes love you 💘💓
If the US Navy started using lethal force against these pirates, it would stop. Problem solved.
They do use lethal force, remember the Maersk Alabama?
There’s some videos out there but basically these pirates get blown out of the water….. if not shot up with 50 caliber bullets …….don’t mess with the US Navy let alone any navy
@@dansmith-ee9poI think he means as policy Numero uno. And I agree with him. It is 100% effective and the only deterrent that can boast that. Dead pirates don't pirate. Leave one maimed but able to live long enough to communicate to el Capitane that the USN is not effing around anymore.
Yes I agree, I think he probably meant it is not policy Numeral Uno. Piracy is one of the subjects that really tend to to get me going. Thank you for your reply.
I agree! We must stop being concerned about opinions of these Countries and defend our People, Ships & Country. They think we’re weak because we allow them to board & fire upon our people & ships. Insanity! 🇺🇸
If they are stupid enough to attack a US Naval Ship, the Navy would be doing the world a favor by removing those idiots from the gene pool. And I also agree that if the Navy sank these vessels this would stop
Yep! 👊😎
Till the first US Navy sailor is seriously injured or killed....it is beyond me why a US Navy ship's commander would let ARMED pirates get within effective range of the pirates automatic weapons and rocket launchers.
They want to be sure of the people's intent. As said in the video, pirates disguise themselves in several ways. They don't sail around attacking ships while flying a pirate flag. And I'm sure you see what happens when the US accidentally kills someone, so, they let them get closer when feasible. Still, it's not much more serious than swatting a fly. Plus, American equipment costs a huge wad of cash, most ATG missiles cost over a million dollars.
A few days ago, it seems the USN followed your advice and smoked a bunch of pirates beyond stand-off range. (They did not use the 50 cal as most sources stated--and this may come out soon in press coverage.) You can fwd your comment to people, showing you called it ahead of time
(+_+) RIP
If the situation warrants lethal force don’t hesitate to use it!
I vote for the use of lethal force, unequivocally...
The Navy should have no mercy on pirates to teach them a lesson or they will keep doing it
Thomas Jefferson would be ashamed of this policy. Wipe em out.... Period!
Pirates use lethal force so the US Navy should do the same. If they would the piracy would stop.
Use lethal Force, that's the only way you're going to get them to stop. I think a boat that gets close to the Navy could be a kamikaze and threaten the life of Naval personnel.
Power is no detriment unless the holder of that power is willing to use it... Unwillingness to use power is detrimental to the safety of merchant shipping.
If the pirates know that when they attack, they will simply be frightened off, that certainly would not stop the pirates from attacking future victims. However, if they realize that any attack will result in their immediate death or at the minimum, the destruction of their boat and a long swim; I am sure that this would deter attacks. If a group of boats approach a victim and one attacke the victim. all of the group should be considered fair game for decisive retribution.
Additionally, when captured, the summary execution of the pirates would also deter attacks.
I realize that the above strategy will not sit very well with bleeding heart liberals but, it would be effective and IMO... THE ONLY SOLUTION TO PERMANENTLY PREVENT FUTURE PIRACY! It is guaranteed that no dead pirate has ever attacked a ship again!
I agree the price of pirating if caught should be your life. Adopt liberal weak on crime policies and the good people pay the price which is currently on display all across America.
You may think me a liberal, but while I do agree with you overall, It is like taking a chainsaw where a scalpel is better. Simply put, Navy ammo is not cheap. why waste a 200,000 dollar tomahawk when a few Kilowatts of electricity can do the same thing.
As for the Merchant ships, they are usually not allowed to run armed due to Maritime law. its been the same for centuries in that regard. An armed Freighter can be devastating against Merchant shipping if one Ship Master goes rouge.
Personalty though I'm all for permanent removal of the threat.
You don't need missiles against pirates. Fifty caliber rounds from the old and trusty Ma Duce machine gun are relatively inexpensive but, extremely effective.
Hide some navy seals or similar special forces into a cargo ship. Bait pirats into boarding and spring the trap
You guy's need to update this info. (+_+) RIP, pirates!!
Nonlethal looks to be not cutting it & hasn't been for how long now?!
The US Navy does not use weapons against the Somali pirates because the country of Somalia would surrender and we would have to pay welfare to a 3rd world nation comprised of tribal, warlike , and uneducated bl@ck people and we already have enough here in the USA homeland. Why add more?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Darwin Award right here, it's like challenging a SWAT team to a shooutout.
Great video! I'm a fair but stern person this video has shown me a different light... However, most of those ships the people were clearly armed with bad intentions I think a nonlethal approach sends the wrong signal I feel that a ship at sea is vulnerable, it should be if a vessel comes within a certain distance you have the right to take preventative measures. It's a big ocean if a ship comes up to you most likely they're up to no good?
As an American Navy advisor, I suggest a fusion or mixed approach. The thing is that direct, in-person Naval warfare experience for our sailors of all ranks and specialties is very valuable for a handful of reasons: including the critical but unlikely one we must like peaceful Trajan be prepared for: a great power Naval war. Adversaries willing to defy and mix it up with the elite US Navy are rare: basically a precious natural and human resource. Official navies won't mix it up with us; and if they do, it could even have consequences for our USA. So if it's necessary to protect truly important allies, cargo, or our citizens, use lethal methods; but generally approach this more like the Plains Indian Calvaries and use smoke grenades and flares and fireworks on their boats; mock them like I could have killed you, take honor and experience, but don't terrify them too badly and let them take some loot on other occasions. Thus the profit motive will enrich these African pirates and keeping them roaming the seas and giving our US Navy sailors modern war experience. That's what I think.
Thank you sir. I still say let the majority ride the lightning. Leaving with a bad limp isn't lethal I suppose....
Being nice? does not work
pirates would think twice if lethal was use.
If pirates don't make it back to shore they cannot attack again.
I like that last example where the Seals used the cover of night to take out the bad guys. Spread that story... maybe other pirates might be dissuaded by it.
As a retired marine I’m probably biased, but I personally don’t like not lethal, if you eliminate the threat constantly then eventually they will get the point or be all gone
Thank you for serving. And the Marines in my family and friend groups concur.
Yes they should. Being liked is nice, being respected is vitall, and when respect is not possible fear iis a reasonable alternative.
Pirates would make excellent CIWS practice!
Those pirates look just like the guys who commit the crimes in American cities, I think you should use lethal force
Start Using Lethal Force and It Will.....Stop...
Sink their damn boat that's non lethal!🤔Let the shark take care of them.😁
Compare the speed of the results...lethal force would make a strong statement.
If they were being torched with Flame Thrower or Fried Chrisp with Laser Beam, I guarantee they would think FIRST 😂
Wipe them out!
All merchant ships should have heavily armed security.
Or Vulcan armed drones
Exactly!
With the accuracy of modern weapons why not just aim at their engines since most pirates use outboard motors that if disabled leaves these small boats dead in the water with no loss of life?
If a boat can’t move then it could be at least days or weeks before any of their gangs of thieves can help fix these boats thus leaving the area safe.
They all act gangsta until arleigh burke comes outta nowhere
Any frigate or above could deal with this , in minutes. If the will was there.....
The Enterprise is the carrier that impressed me most. Thanks 😊
Thank you, subbed. 🇺🇸
Great informative video 🔥
Using non lethal force against these pirates is ridiculous! It only emboldens them to increase their attacks and ultimately endangers non military vessels which will likely not have sufficient means to defend themselves. A shoot on sight policy would effectively eliminate these evildoers and destroy their will to commit these atrocities.
Take them out‼️
criminals don't play by the rules so than restraint by us military is considered weakness by those who will not stop until they kill us and i believe if your going
to fight a war your weapon and battle strategy must be equal to or greater then the enemy of your fighting a losing battle
if pirates attack, show no mercy, use max force. teach a lesson which they will never again mess with the USA or any of its ships
This is just one reason we are the dominating force. We do things the right way.
too challenging these days. Many countries are trying to overcome these pirates
Light'm up! USN Ret.
If there are no more pirates, the Navy won't be able to justify their current budget.
The pirates would be effective target practice for sailors tasked with defending the ship with 20 mm Vulcan gatling guns.
If people insist on non-lethal, the capture of pirates and hours of water boarding would be an effective deterrent to future piracy.
You forgot "and gibbet the ones who survive on a string of buoys as a reminder/warning to future pirates."
20mm rubber bullets? Yeah, rubber bullets are non-lethel. lmao
@bradheath4200 You interpreted my post as stating using the 20mm as a non-lethal weapon? Lmao.
@@bluegrasskid4835 rubber bullets, come on bro... lmao All joking there. A 20mm rubber bullet would have plenty o' enough lethality to it.
@@bluegrasskid4835 bluegrass huh? I'm in Western Kentucky myself. Go Cats!
Being nice to pirates? Shoot em,get it done.This video only showed me the kindness of the US navy.
Shows you the ineptness of our current crop of political and military leaders.
FORCE OF USA!🦅🦅🦅
If you ask me I would blow them out of the water, problem solved
NEVER turn the other cheek. Blast them out of the water. they will soon stop.
No one size fits all. All situations are unique so what works in one might not work in another. Be flexible, but accomplish the mission.
Real power does not need to display itself. It is present no matter what.
In international waters. Shoot to kill to discouraged would be pirates. It also reduces operational costs.
Trade lanes, and naval vessel pirate insurance. I new we had pirate vessels insurance.
I'm for lethal force.
Amazing news 🙏🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️
See a pirate - splash a pirate. No need to make this complicated. Send 'em to Davey Jones' locker.
20mm 3 second burst per boat. Think of it as feeding the wild life.
Scale up as needed.
Too much effort for non-lethal. Pirates don't accidentally attack ships so, the same treatment should be provided back. Once they know that they may lose their life attacking ships, they'll stop.
All Pirates should be dispatched to Neptunes depths as quickly as possible.
It's also humiliating for the pirates to be bested by water canons.
I like using cannons to kill flies though.
I say just feed the fish! Sink the pirates to the bottom because they will never ever end pirating if they dont die... The crow maybe feel good about a little practice also so big W for the world! :)
It would be a huge embarrassment to the US Navy if these pirates managed to overtake the ship because they didn't want to use deadly force.
Great program. My opinion is, if they are dumb enough to try to board a Navy ship, let them ride the lightning. Firing on a military ship goes without saying. Just trying to sneak aboard, maybe less lethal but make sure they regret the line of work they chose. But hey, I'm old and grumpy and keep a ball pien hammer within reach at most times. Biker for life.
use em as live fire targets
The ship company's should hire well armed pmc .a group off of 5.7 ex team guy eg ex seal and sas
That's what Phalanx Close In Weapons system is for.
❤❤
All of commercial ship companies now hire private arm security forces in this area thus pirate is not an issues anymore.
smh that is crazy all cargo and merchant ships needs to have a navy destroyer ship riding along with all cargo ships and merchant ships for protection
Why would pirates want to rob US Navy in first place, being stupid.? LOL
Pirates gave up their rights as soon as they step into the boat to go pirating in the first place.
If you can achieve the goal without killing someone then DON'T KILL. However if these pirates are a danger to life and ship then all bets are off the captain can due what he feels he needs to due to protect his (our) men and his (our)ship
That said I am all for water cannons to fill to sinking the pirate fast boats.
increase immediate deadly force is the only answer
Less lethal means less prosecution. No punishment for illegal acts means more such actions. Pirates know that they can get away with just about MURDER. our neighborhoods are an example of a lack of response to violent actions and disregard for the rule of law. So SAD. All Navies engaged in pilot control should use their military capabilities judicially, but more often than the use of non or less lethal technology. Taking out a few pirates without hesitation, just might reduce their attacks on commercial shipping. My 2 cents.
if the navy wanted to be lethal SWCC is the answer to that but it doesn't seem like it warrants it. the navy seems to preoccupied with Israel right now and that worries me a little. hopefully nothing else because alot of horrors happened there already.
With insurance cost so high that makes us pay more I think it's now much cheaper to eliminate the pirate
There's a consideration here, I'm all about the fuck em up approach, but the stats at the beginning of the video stated there were zero deaths involved with piracy. All they want is the stuff on-board. I think if we started killing them whenever they are encountered you would start seeing a rise in civilian deaths as a result. Private Contractors are already on-board and killing these guys in self defense, but that's a little different than a full ass warship coming out and blowing the crap out of small fishing vessels.
The U.S. Navy cant be everywhere, and I think we're going to start seeing an ocean that is less policed by the Navy and more force projection oriented toward soon to be near peers like China. It sounds good on paper to just kill em all, but with a drawdown in the number of combat vessels, the littoral craft being decommed after being built a year into service, and a focus on larger warships going forward it probably wouldn't be in anyone best interest to start canoeing heads at every opportunity; it's going to get worse in terms of piracy I think.
Risk/reward is what keeps piracy going. If the worst that happens is a water cannon bath the rewards will usually justify the risks. You needn't kill them all, but you should at least insure that they don't make it home with tales of glory and plunder.
Because using full force will be considered an overkill when targeting skiffs.
How so. Pirates firing automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades are employing deadly force and should be met with equal or greater force - unless you think that our military lives do not matter.
Are any pirates that chew enough khat to want to attack an aircraft carrier?
Protecting criminals will allow them to find unprotected vessels!
They are powerful
👍👍👍💪💪💪
... the US Navy ... should eradicate the pirate threat ... it worked for President Thomas Jefferson ... and when the pirate encounter ends with no survivors on theirs behalf ... they might start avoiding ships flying old glory ....
They should just destroy these pirates on the water plain blank
Return fire when fired apponed
TALKING ABOUT PIRATES OR US NAVY AND ITS WEAPONS?
Simple way to fix it have the company hire the US Marines as guards or other countries than let see what happens to the pirates than.
No pirates, no problem
How much time and money did the Navy spend on trying to convince me that coddling criminals is a good idea...
Even if it was an hour and $1, the only answer is too much.
Why would these pirates be stupid enough to even attempt such a feat?😂💙💙💙
I bet those Somali pirates wouldn't be rushing toward the Slave ships of the 13 - 19th century.
its the same as asking a adult to do the same if attacked by children there is just no need for overkill
Except that in this case the "children" are heavily armed and care little about their victims.
Yes use deadly force every time then they my think twice before they attack a ship again the us should not take shit from no one seriously
G brown
@ 11:40 - So much bull💩❗️. 🙄. Sink their boats and let them swim back to shore (IF they can out swim the sharks). 🤏
I would be scared to use that pkm as rustic as it was! All that oil yall be stilling might want to oil that barrel 😂😂😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍🎄♥️
No way in hell does a carrier, part.of a battle group need water hoses to keep a group of so called pirates away. If you put a video up like this have it based in reality. Thanks.
We should learn from Russian Navy.
You see how ruthless Russian Navy towards pirates?
They bombarded pirates boat with such ferocity.
I think ship owners will stay out of these waters this would hurt economies of the affected countries they can't get their stuff to market and world get their market when sips refuse to operate there
SMH. Our ROE's need to be weapons free in those waters. Do humanity a favor.
I think throwing a couple water balloons at em would be a good start then escalate up to dishing out noogies an raspberries.
