No need for TLAMs when you have hundreds of Vietnam era 750lb bombs in stock that are just designed to be dropped from B-52s.

And the old rule that anyone condoning terrorists is a terrorist supporter is a terrorist can easily be extended to pirates as well.
Thus the entire town that houses and supplies a pirate crew becomes a legitimate target.
I suspect you only need to hit a few towns like that, about evenly spaced around the area of operations (keep in mind that there’s no highspeed communications on the ground there) to get the message across.
Hit them all at once, one box of 4 B-52s carrying a full load of HE and incendiaries each per town.
Shouldn’t take more than a few dozen bombers, and in one night the pirate coast is no more.
And I think you can even get the Russians and Chinese to help out, they’re sure to want target practice for their Badgers which haven’t seen much use in recent years.

LOL! Sounds like your Dad was in the same foxhole as mine! He once told me: “Son you haven’t lived until you’ve spent five days and six nights in a fox-hole in Germany in winter under constant arty bombardment, with two feet of snow on the ground, a freezing rain, and six inches of ice-water covering your feet!” LOL. That’s when I KNEW I was joining the AF!
