Tanker Moscow University, highjacked by Somali pirates on May 6, was freed next day by Russian Navy. Everything was clear and victorous (some Russian media and bloggers even declared that incident to be symbolic as it happened on the eve of a Victory Day in Russia, May 9) till quite unexpected release of the pirates by Navy, in a quite unusual way

Usually I just lurk and read but this was too much.

I disagree. The Russians have always played for keeps. They don't mess around. If anything, it will be safer if more pirates wind up disappearing.
