Fucking dictators. It's in goddamn international waters and they have the gall to try and kill people because "oh no... other people might not like our dictatorship now."

Fuck centralized authority. Anyone who wants it should be shot on sight.

From what I have heard, the country used some sort of loophole that let them go, "Ah, but they aren't far enough away from our waters!"

Proving again that government is just a criminal thug hierarchy that demands full spectrum dominance.

I have a feeling they will get the death penalty. That's how these things always seem to play out in South Asia.

This is abhorrent that they think they have the right to claim these waters. SMH
