hello ep, i do not believe israel has the ummmph to resolve the iran equation

i think india and china can align more easily than india and usa

i think pakistan will go nuke in a bigger way, and pay for it by enlisting the moolah of the stans, and buy it from n.korea, which in turnis being twisted by the us and japan on the financial front (super notes just showed up in hk from n.korea by way of macau, and treasury dept is 'having a cow' due to the quality improvements since last intercepted batch)

i think radical islam will get more radical still, because the root causes are not addressed

i think the genie is out of the bottle on the nukes

all in all, not a good scene, and so we must at least consider ...

... i am wondering if there are any mercenary companies listed anywhere

found them, but alas, not publicly listed

moaa.org

"DynCorp, however, is hardly another trendy high-tech company. The corporation is one of a growing number of private military companies (PMCs) - a term PMCs prefer to mercenaries - that provide training and resources for the Pentagon and for foreign armies and that sometimes even enter combat. Peter Singer, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., think tank, defines PMCs like DynCorp, Oregon-based International Charter Inc. (ICI), and Alexandria, Va.-based Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI) as "profit-driven organizations that trade in professional services intricately linked to warfare."

Analysts predict DynCorp, ICI, MPRI, and their peers will be in even greater demand in the coming years. Some rich nations are shying away from intervening in wars overseas, yet the number of intrastate conflicts is rising sharply. PMCs increasingly are called on to fulfill functions once handled by national armies and to enter conflict zones. While South African and British firms once dominated the PMC market, American companies are catching up. But U.S.-based PMCs also have become lightning rods for controversy as they have expanded their operations."
