Women dice with death on M6
Two Swedish blond women (twins) want to die on a highway. Police tries to stop them ...

Those were cops? They looked and acted like paramedics or something. They should've, and probably would've if it had been here, cuffed 'em and sorted it out in the back of a squad car.
Heff: I don't know what it is, but there's something about a really sexy-looking woman wearing glasses. Imagine what she's like when those glasses come off. It would be a new definition of the word vice in vice president."
Except she....wouldn't be vice president. That's how you got the gig! Jesus.

It doesn't work that way for us. We go in, no matter what we do, someone hates us. Haven't people learned that yet? We just need to stay out of other peoples' business.
BTW, the pirates can't even unload the tanks. They don't have docks with that capability - it's right in the articles. They can't sell them because they can't get them off the ship. Plus if they do Russia will go in and exterminate them. Russia doesn't eff around right now.

Its not the US... Only -our- cops are allowed to do stuff like that. The other countries just blow their whistles and hope you stop...

Yeah, it just boggles the mind how the pirates think this will end nicely for them. Or maybe this is a very elaborate suicide attempt.

Don't the French have issues with us because we wouldn't help them? Leading into why the French wouldn't "help" us and that whole s/french/freedom/gi ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. You're right though, the U.S. has gotten stuck in this annoying, "damned if you do, damned of you don't," situation. In this case though, it seems the U.S. is moving in because the Russians isn't going to get there in time? That's the impression I got from the articles.
I'd love to debate the topic further, but I don't know exactly what causes a thread to get sent to P&R.
