with Somalis, everything has long been clear, more interesting, who is behind them ... I was always amused that they didn’t pay the ransom on the nameless island under the third palm from the shore, but to the Geneva or London bank ...

Well, as they say .. "This is Business, baby .." Earlier in my childhood I thought that in 2015 there would be interplanetary flights (as tourists))) But it turns out that humanity is slowly returning to the slave system ... Very sad!

[Denis DV]

I don’t understand, did the terrorists take the hostages?

[Igor F.]

But nothing personal, business! Everyone knows that Somalia is a country of sea pirates, this is what they live for! It may even be this: until you give the loot for the fact that we kept the hostages, guarded, fed, and until you give the money with interest, you won’t get the hostages!

I’ll tell you more.
Terrorists who have captured terrorists demand a ransom from terrorists.
Something like this.

In Afghanistan, in the next year of life, after a heavy and prolonged chase by American special forces, a bearded Taliban overtook a stolen bottle of Pepsi-Cola and looked like Bin Laden.
At a preliminary five-second inquiry, the suspect claimed that he was not Osama at all.
Checking the statements of the caught, a polygraph showed that he really is only a former champion of Afghanistan in relay racing.

Relatives of Obama, however, have already hesitated everyone with their greed ...

Pisi: Do not go children to Africa for a walk ...

The delta is screwed up again, some of the hostages will die, the rest will be registered as heroes ... unless of course the Yankees still have time by the time the hostages still breathe.

The possibility was theoretically possible, but in practice the CPSU ceased to be a party building socialism, although it was stated through Brezhnev that the construction of socialism in the USSR was basically completed. But in fact, they have gone far from socialism to the side and, apparently, it was not for nothing that they were criticized both in China and by the western parties of the fraternal countries.
And if our government will continue to follow the course of pseudo-liberal capitalism, then the slide of mankind into a new slave system is inevitable - predetermined by the decline of imperialism. This can be opposed by the states that are building real socialism, and not the fictitious CPSU after the death of I.V. Stalin and which in fact was a departure from the foundations of building socialism.

Americans, as always, "I am not me and the house is not mine." "The plane was not ours, it was not ours, it was not flying from us or to us. He was carrying something, but not ours."
