They doing it on purpose!

Did they release the "american spy" yet or have they executed him?

FTFA:
"guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey"

I bet their missiles are perfectly catalogued with some sort of decimal system.

Eventually the US will attempt to rescue a trojan fishing vessel and they'll get trolled.

Jesus Christ, Iranians. I'm sure the lamb in your country is delicious, so how's about you stick to shepherding since you can't seem to sail worth a damn.

One of the papers in China has a lovely article detailing how we're interrupting legitimate Iranian fishing activities and there might be a famine as a result. This is the third time we've attempted to enforce an illegal embargo against the Iranian fishing industry and used our military to intercept a fishing boat. We're doing this because we're after their oil.

I have to admire the spin.

Here's video (new window) of how Russians "rescue" Somali pirates. (Turn down the volume as soundtrack is really bad; stay alert for international law breaking, for example machine gunning survivors in the water and etc.)

You don't kill a hostage before you get what you want.

Looks about the same as a Russian hostage rescue attempt.

That. Was. Beutiful.

Really the sad part is the boat the put all the ordnance isn't the same as the boat full of people you see at the start.

Also sticking your fingers in your ears while someone is firing RPGS, as opposed to having ear protection, pretty much sums up Russia.

Let us review.

The first part of the clip shows a Russian sailor removing the flag from the pirate ship, then it cuts to the ship packed full of people heading away from the Russian boat.

Then, before they start shooting, you can clearly see that there is no longer anyone on the boat and they have all their skiffs tied off to it as well. You can even see it no longer has flags on the masts.

So, what really happened is they removed all the people from the boat and set it adrift and used it for target practice.

But I guess your way sounds more exciting... or something.
