    Yes, the one that has only managed to sink or capture 4 ships over their 2 year campaign. Compare that with the Somali pirates that captured 100+ ships during their peak in 2010-2011.

      That’s not the part that matters… They’re not pirates

      It doesn’t matter if all they do is give some deck hand PTSD by taking pot shots at them - They still made the biggest economies in the world come to them for a deal
