Are you serious? Who are you going to fight? Special ops brigade single handed - this is not a movie! Everyone would be shot dead in 3 seconds.
if anything - it was a logistics mistake on his part - going to and making contact with Indian authorities (which would extradite back to UAE.)
He should have involved professional traffickers - they'd take her anywhere for $400K. Ideally to the closest USA embassy then make some public noise after they got there. If USA was the final destination anyway.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoUSA would probably just have arrested her and sent her back, their relationship with the UAE is too important.

- baybal2 8y agoCompletely serious. The woman contacted the man with a very intention of him using his past spycraft skills to get her out of the country dead or alive, and he failed her. It was completely his failure to craft the operation, and allowing Indian board. Aside from that, would they fire on an American flagged vessel under a dubious tip off from a country with funny reputation if they were to run away from them? And... man, you don't station anything like a whole brigade on a frigate.
- ryacko 8y agoHe is flaunting his dishonor of failure with TV interviews. He accepted the job, don’t brag if it was a total loss. Professional traffickers are unnecessary, she could escape to international waters and adopt a new identity as a tourist who wants to settle.
