Russian border patrol opens fire as North Korean fishing vessel crew resists search

[senona]

Unlike the United States, under the Obama Admin, Russia is not one you want to play with if you don't want to get shot.

Russian border patrol was forced to open fire during inspection of a fishing vessel with North Korean crew onboard. The crew resisted search, behaved aggressively, and tried to flee with the members of the Russian security forces on board, according to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).

One Russian border patrol officer and nine North Korean fishermen were injured in the stand-off. One of the injured fishermen later died in the hospital.

The incident happened on Friday evening at 22:20 Moscow time (19:20 GMT) in Russia’s exclusive economic zone in the country’s Far East, according to the FSB statement, released online on Saturday. The term "exclusive economic zone" describes an area of coastal water in a certain distance from the country’s shore, where the respective state has exclusive rights for fishing and other economic activities.

The vessel had 48 North Korean crew members on board.

The Russian border guard vessel fired several “warning shots to stop” the North Korean ship, yet the vessel still continued its maneuver.
The crew of the North Korean vessel also tried to attack the FSB members already on board their vessel. As a result “one of the members of the search team sustained a head injury.”

In the immediate aftermath Russian FSB agents fired shots at the North Korean crew to prevent them from “obtaining weapons” from the border guards and further “harming them.”

“Nine crew members of the intruder-ship were injured, one of them later died,” the FSB stated.

One would think that Kimmy would know better than to test Russia in that manner.
 Glad that the Russians didn't back down nor hold back on firing upon them when they would not comply.

Wait - WHAT?

Are you implying that the Russians ain't afraid of Little Kimmie's dinky little nukulur thingy?

Might it be because they know they have great big massive Russian nukulur thingies that could erase Little Kimmie's Starving Masses ™ from the face of the planet if he were to try chucking it over the border at them?

I bet there's a lesson in there for Obama.

I also bet he can't learn it.
