Pirates Are Running Wild Off West Africa

I'm certain most people don't give a rat's patootie about what goes on in the rest of the world. We should. These are the kind of things we end up getting mixed up in for whatever reason when our American interests become involved. More about this after the video.


Apparently the people in that country got screwed out of their resources by big oil and Chinese fisheries. Since they have become destitute they will take to doing anything in order to survive. We tend to think of these as criminal pirates by nature rather then people driven to desperation. Perhaps if these people were given a fair share none of this would be happening. Wherever corruption and greed takes hold little good becomes of it.

We are all connected in some way whether directly or not. It's never a good idea to bury our heads and look the other way. Hence why I find it important enough to post such videos as these even if they are occurring on the other side of the globe.

These things have a way of sneaking up on people who aren't aware of everything going on in the rest of the world. Lest it's a good idea to keep an eye on the kind of greedy corrupt stuff going on elsewhere so it isn't able to get a foothold in this country.
