As many mainly U.S sponsored UNSC resolutions on sea piracy off the Horn of Africa before it, this Russia sponsored UNSC resolution will not end piracy in the Horn of Africa because it avoids the root cause of the rise of piracy in the Horn of Africa: political meddling, geopolitics and illegal fishing and illegal toxic dumping. Russia wants to look a global player, as a result, it not did not take account of these other piracies but only when the security of the local people is protected and illegal fishing and toxic dumping are stopped will sea piracy end in the Horn of Africa. Alas.

Having traveled Europe and the Mid East and become a RT reader, there is something people are not putting two and two together. The UN was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's brain child. At that point in time, who'd stand against him? Stalin, his "Uncle Joe" understood FDR and used him. They were birds of a feather. FDR never intended to become a partner in the UN, only use it for his own purposes. All over the world there is allegiance to the UN, except the USA. Did Bush honor the UN's psition or did he invade Iraq? That's just one example. There's a bully on the block and everybodies afraid of the bully. The Zionist know how to use the bully and for years have been doing just that. What people call news is just a natural chain of events, if you put two and two together.
