Why don't we create a stock mercenary company, which we use to take over third-world-shitholes? We can pool our funds together and fun a team of mercenaries, which will eliminate the leadership of the country we want to take over. Then we start a bidding process and sell ownership of the country to whoever wants to buy it from us. With populist leaders like Trump being in charge of the USA, I am sure someone like him would be interested in buying a country from us. The profits are then divided between the shareholders.

I think we could easily have a ROI factor 100 - at least!

There is basically no country outside of Iran or north Korea that doesn't have vested American interests of some kind. You rolling up on Suriname and taking out their leadership, just means Newmont who run half the local gold mines lean on the state dept to protect their investment; and you all get bagged in the night. Or the Chinese who run the other half bring in their own people to stabilize the situation.
>>
>>65506765
I don't care, pussy!

>>65506783
Then let's make a public declaration that any Western investment will be respected, so they don't feel threatened.

Instead of selling the country, we could also just run the country ourselves and focus on resource extraction, inviting Western expats and technocrats and security, until we find a buyer.
>>
>>65506788
>any Western investment will be respected
Then we don't make any money, you think there is anything of value of earth that doesn't lead back to the NYSE, the City of London or Deutsche Bank?
>>
>>65506802
Yes, because we would be more competent at running their shithole countries than their dictators. The mercenary guy in the interview with BAP said that the USA frowned upon any mercenary groups being active in the third world, because they are White, but with Trump in charge, I am sure this opened up the the possibility of the USA not being directly opposed to this.

We just need to put these countries under a military government, where copper thieves are shot on sight, so that foreign investments in these regions are protected and can build up the region. Without security these countries will always remain a shithole.
>>
>>65506763
A big reason is that you can't just have light infantry and maybe a few helicopters to take over a capital city like it's 1960s Africa.
>>
>>65506763
The International Bankers already control pretty much all nations. Even the shitty third world ones. Trump will literally use the US Military to kill you since he is owned and controlled by these bankers. As is pretty much every President.

So? Pick a shithole where the US hates the regime to begin with and really doesn't give a shit who's in charge as long as they don't touch their investments.
And then proceed to not touch their investments (any more than the last guy).

Most of the really fucked countries aren't being "run" by their dictators in any but the loosest sense. They are fucked because their entire society is deeply dysfunctional on a foundational level. They aren't 1940s Germany where you can roll tanks in, shoot a few loonies at the top and press gang everyone else into running a functional nation. You have to tear their entire nation down to the foundations, which means at a bare minimum putting a guy with a gun on every corner and filling every post office, court house, school and government institution with Americans capable of taking over for the locals for at least a generation while you force USAian values on everyone for long enough that some of those values stick. And you have to do this without the guys with guns you are hiring, your own replacement gov workers, or the officials controlling the takeover sabotaging things for their own benefit, ego or stupidity.

Obviously, not only is this extremely difficult to do right (as the US found out in Afghanistan, where they more or less tried to do this but incredibly half assedly), but it is extremely expensive. So expensive that it is unironically cheaper to just kill everyone and ship in your own people, and that is still so expensive (and immoral, but I assume you don't care about that) that you are better off sending your people places that aren't shitholes, and leaving these places alone to self immolate aside from occasionally buying resources from them for dirt cheap prices when they manage to be functional enough to produce something of value.

It shouldn't be surprising that this is the case, because all you are doing is reinventing colonialism from first principles. Colonialism died out for a very good reason, and it isn't because of bleeding heart liberals - if you think that Europe gave up on their colonial holdings after centuries of brutal and profitable occupation because of the goodness of their heart then I have a bridge to sell you.
>>
>>65506763
Because the big boys will not allow you to take over shitholes. They want them destabilized for one reason or another.
>>
>>65507117
Arguably not even profitable occupation a lot of the time. Colonies was just seen as the thing major powers had, so it was a prestige thing.

I wish I didn't have to do that but the 'merican jingoism is off the charts.

they will take the money & arms to then defect to another country that wont extradite, that country will let them all live as kings in exchange for testifying to the UN & that country will then use that to break alliances/trust the US has
they are mercs, they are loyal to money/status, not a country
even if they dont you get a new issue
>which will eliminate the leadership of the country we want to take over
why will they give up the country? they are in charge of it
now you have another third world shithole except they are now well funded & have an arsenal of NATO weaponry to defend their new country
they probably wouldnt be retarded & know they would need a nuke & if they got one, you literally have the plot of metal gear solid with big boss & outer heaven
a militaristic nation full of soldiers with a nuke that cant be fucked with, worst case scenario doing it ISIS/big boss style in metal gear 2 where they abduct the children of the towns they attack to raise them to be the next generation of soldiers only loyal to outer heaven

I think it’s a dream of most /kommandos to do such a thing.
But the reality is, almost all shithole 3rd world countries have a standing army of at least a thousand guys with aks or some battle rifle.
They also probably have a few trucks with machine guns mounted on them.
We would get fucked basically.
Unless you suggest we just get dropped off in their capital and kill their leader and then get fucked afterwards.

Third world of kinetic, it's not like SWAT, almost have to be a police department to work there.

It's not worth being a cop so they're all bent and unreliable. If a compsny is calling you in, it's because another company is supplying insurgents and fighting them isn't worth. The Russians are the only reliable ones out there but they're the enemies most of the time

Then why are these faggots not leaning on the state department to pressure them to support efforts into stopping illegal gold mining in suriname?

I'm halfway convinced none of this secret super duper shit actually functions and it's all make belief from /k/ because Western politics is dominated by a bunch of traitors and self-enrichment schemes who do not like indirect intervention because it's too much of a hassle and has actual chances for blowback.

It takes a country to raise an army OP. Just the labor costs alone, even if you pay your soldiers straight up conscript tier pennies on the dollar, shit adds up. Then there is the monthly expenses in logistics which when projected onto a yearly budget, even for a pure light infantry force is a lot. Best move is to create a hybrid for that can do regular and irregular warfare with the nucleus being around SF style cadre that can raise local forces while having a small "shock force" that can do direct action i.e. guerrilla shit but on a professional level.

Even then, employing NVA style tactics greatly reduces logistics but you're still talking about hundreds of metric tons per division of supplies on a monthly basis. And that's just doing hit and run guerrilla shit. Taking and holding territory requires thousands to tens of thousands of metric tons of supplies per division per month.

tl;dr war is hard.

The main purpose of colonialism is to extract cheap/free labor from the local population in order to obtain primary resources and profit from their sale.

Advances in industrialization and mechanization in the late 1800s and early 1900s drove down the profit margin on primary resource extraction and driving up the profit margin on finished goods, which were becoming significantly more complex and involving far more specialized technical knowledge.This meant that that the money was increasingly being made in the ownership of the factories, and not the plantations or mines.

As a result, actual colonialism increasingly became not worth the hassle, because the money to be made stopped being worth the cost of running all the machinery of colonial oppression. It was much cheaper to simply let the former colonies run themselves, and to bribe/arm the people at the top to oppress their own people so you could secure your supply of primary resources at cheap prices.

You're much better off just carving out a country within a country and excluding the natives as much as possible. Purely territorial colonialism, and Africa is perfect for it.
