The circled word isn't "pirate", it's "hijack". Though, it would also work, since I don't see the us being called corsairs either.
they board it ☝️😃
The US didn't hijack those ships, it boarded them
hijack:
to take control of an aircraft or other vehicle during a journey, especially using violence.
what definition are you going by?
omfg make your point or don't, like am i supposed to guess at what specific connotations you're talking about and how they relate to the villanous US navy and then make my reply to that??
It doesn't say that the somalis "pirated" the ship, but hijacked it. Whether it constitutes piracy or not isn't the question here.
International law isn't real.
International law is a fairy tale for adults.
as is any kaw, the only difference between the two is the level of violence. All law is conea from the barrel of a gun.
