Somali pirates made their biggest mistake

A North Korean ship was kidnapped by invincible Somali pirates despite warships from numerous countries are patrolling in that area. (BBC) But as they did when they mistakenly attacked a French warship, they made a huge mistake again. Capturing a North Korea ship is really a bad deal.

First of all, they should have known how much this ship is worth. What’s on the ship probably cannot even offset the fuel to capture it. The old Soviet-era ship would have sunken without the rescue of Somali friends.

Secondly, the dear leader Kim doesn’t care the life of his people whatsoever. There is no way that North Korea would pay the ransom, let alone whether it has those money. Probably they will wait for South Korea to pay it for them as a precondition to restart the negotiation on whether they will start to consider returning to the six-party talks. Good deal, huh?

Moreover, those people probably won’t want to leave Somalia because they are fed by the pirates. Back in North Korea, it’s unlikely that they can have double-digit number of meals in a week. Likewise, they are enjoying the freedom they have not thought about even though they are detained by armed pirates. At least they don’t have to shout long live to the great leader a hundred times a day.

But nothing is certain. By some remote chance, the great leader had the mood to withdraw some secret private money from Swiss bank to pay the ransom and get those hostages back. The reason why he does this is because North Korea wants to torture and execute those traitors by themselves. They want to show their brand-new high-tech bullets and the shooting ability of their great soldiers.

But it is unlikely to happen anyway. Somali pirates should come to MSFS and take globalization course to better understand who to kidnap and trade course to know the important of labor scarcity to cut a good deal.
