    Cada tem a sua definição de utilidade. Para mim, por exemplo, o dinheiro gasto em defesa é dinheiro gasto em algo muito útil.

    Como por exemplo f17 a apanhar teias de aranha sem combustível para opersr, ou umas sucatas submarinas que nem Porto para atracar em condições têm.

    Então ainda bem que a base naval da Marinha é no Alfeite e não em mais nenhum lado... é o que se chama uma "não questão". Já agora, os submarinos foram e muito usados em missões lá fora desde 2011 e sem qualquer problema.

    Arabia Saudita tem planos para construir reatores nucleares: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/bin-salman-launches-saudi-arabia-nuclear-plant-project-181105192827938.html

    Será que os USA vão impor sanções, como fizeram com o Irão e Coreia do Norte ?

    E isto adapta-se a tudo o que é relação fornecedor-cliente.
    Não estou a ver por exemplo a região de turismo do Algarve a aplicar restrições aos turistas, mesmo que quebrem algumas regras de conduta.

    O General Mattis era o último elemento do governo Trump que era respeitado tanto nos EUA, como no resto do mundo.

    O Trumpas é respeitado o soficiente. Os lideres chocalham a cabeça mas é sempre ele que fica por cima.
    Ainda estou á espera do Nobeld a paz para o Trump. Se o obama recebeu, o trumpas merece mais.

    Onde é que o trumpas não ficou? pelo que vejo, 99% das coisas com que atacam o homem é adjetivos acabados em fóbicos e ismos! Coisa a que ninguém já liga atualmente.
    Então não tem piada, ganhar um nobel sem ninguém saber porquê tem sempre a sua piada.

    Uma das primeiras consequências pela saida do Mattis:

    Mattis is out, and Blackwater is back: ‘We are coming’
    By: Tara Copp




    Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis is out.

    Mattis' resignation comes amid news that President Donald Trump has directed the drawdown of 2,000 U.S. forces in Syria, and 7,000 U.S. forces from Afghanistan, a U.S. official confirmed to Military Times, a story first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

    This month, in the January/February print issue of the gun and hunting magazine “Recoil," the former contractor security firm Blackwater USA published a full-page ad, in all black with a simple message: “We are coming.”

    Is the war in Afghanistan — and possibly elsewhere ― about to be privatized?

    If Blackwater returns, it would be the return of a private security contractor that was banned from Iraq, but re-branded and never really went away. By 2016 Blackwater had been re-branded several times and was known at the time as Constellis Group, when it was purchased by the Apollo Holdings Group. Reuters reported earlier this year that Apollo had put Constellis up for sale, but in June the sale was put on hold.

    Blackwater’s founder and former CEO Erik Prince has courted President Donald Trump’s administration since he took office with the idea that the now 17-year Afghan War will never be won by a traditional military campaign. Prince has also argued that the logistical footprint required to support that now multi-trillion dollar endeavor has become too burdensome. Over the summer and into this fall Prince has engaged heavily with the media to promote the privatization; particularly as the Trump administration’s new South Asia Strategy, which was crafted with Mattis, passed the one-year mark.

    Prince has no connection to the current Constellis group; if Blackwater does return to operations, it is not clear what, if any tie, Prince would have to the endeavor.

    Constellis, which had maintained a footprint at Camp Integrity by the Kabul Airport through its previous iteration as “Academi” has leased land at the facility to hold another 800 personnel, Military Times learned.

    The news of a leaning on a smaller number of privatized forces, instead of a larger U.S. military footprint — and contracted support for U.S. forces that knew few bounds and at times included coffee shops, base exchanges, restaurants, a hockey rink and local vendor shops — may be welcomed by current U.S. military leadership on the ground. That includes former Joint Special Operations Command chief Army Lt. Gen. Scott Miller, a source familiar with Miller’s approach told Military Times. Miller replaced Gen. John Nicholson as the head of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan in September.

    In an previous exclusive interview with Military Times, Prince said he would scrap the NATO mission there and replace the estimated 23,000 forces in country with a force of 6,000 contracted personnel and 2,000 active-duty special forces.

    The potential privatization of the Afghan War was previously dismissed by the White House, and roundly criticized by Mattis, who saw it as a risk to emplace the nation’s national security goals in the hands of contractors.

    “When Americans put their nation’s credibility on the line, privatizing it is probably not a wise idea,” Mattis told reporters in August.

    But Mattis is out now, one in a series of moves that has surprised most of the Pentagon.

    Drastic change would “be more likely” now, one DOD official said.

    Os balckwater sempre existiram, mudaram foi de nome duas vezes sendo a ultimo Academi que, o presidente Obama contratou para trabalhar para o governo.

    Só palha portanto, nada de novo a não ser as coisas do costume.
  14.  # 15

    Errado a Academi funcionava acima de tudo como uma empresa consultora e de treino tático, pouco ou nada tinha a haver com a velha Blackwater que tinha milhares de funcionários por todo o mundo em todo o tipo de missões incluindo as de "segurança armada".

    Eu acho que no fundo vai dar tuso ao mesmo, mudam as moscas fe fica a mesma *****!
    Estamos a falar dos EUA, só o que lhes interessa é divulgado. O trumpas é que foge do baralhoe parece estar a mostrar coisas que ninguém queria.
  16.  # 17

    No tempo do Bush a Blackwater tornou-se muito famosa, especialmente depois daquele video em Najav onde o Travis Haley aparecia a abater uma batelada de insurgentes no telhado de um edifício. Mas depois do massacre em Bagdade tornaram-se numa "marca" tóxica" e foi por isso que o CEO foi às urtigas e voltaram ao negócio original (treino e consultadoria).

    Infelizmente tenho a certeza que essas coisas continuam a acontecer. não há é videos.

    Lawmakers dismayed over Mattis’ sudden departure
    By: Leo Shane III

    WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders reacted with shock and dismay at the sudden resignation announcement of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Thursday, with many blasting President Donald Trump’s reckless policies for forcing the popular former general out of office.

    In a resignation letter released Thursday, Mattis said he will step aside in February so Trump can select a new military leader “whose views are better aligned with yours.” The letter appeared to contradict recent White House decisions to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan, and Trump’s overall views on traditional U.S. alliances.

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders downplayed the disagreements in a meeting with reporters Thursday night.

    “Secretary Mattis has served the country admirably for over four decades,” she said. “He and the president have a good relationship, but sometimes they disagree. The president always listens to the members of his national team, but at the end of the day it’s the president’s decision to make."

    But both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill called Mattis’ departure a severe blow for the administration and the country. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called it “regrettable” that Mattis won’t be in the middle of the White House’s key national security discussions anymore.

    “It’s essential that the United States maintain and strengthen the post-World War II alliances that have been carefully built by leaders in both parties,” he said in an unusual rebuke of Trump. “We must also maintain a clear-eyed understanding of our friends and foes, and recognize that nations like Russia are among the latter.”

    House minority leader and presumed next House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she was “shaken” by the announcement.

    "There is something very wrong with this picture," she told reporters, noting Mattis’ resignation letter raises serious concerns about instability in the administration. “Our troops look to Secretary Mattis as a leader, and now he is going to be leaving them. This is very serious for our country.”

    Old Marines never die, but they do resign after the President ignores their advice, betrays our allies, rewards our enemies, and puts the nation’s security at risk. Turn out the lights when Mattis leaves; we will not see his like again while Trump remains in office.
    https://t.co/fKUTe5nPIR— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 20, 2018

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called Mattis “one of the few symbols of strength and stability in this administration.” Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed, D-R.I., called the resignation a sign of Trump’s misguided defense policies run amok.

    “(Mattis) didn’t resign because he grew weary from the fight,” Reed said in a statement. “I think he saw this as his last best chance to focus the nation’s attention on the serious missteps President Trump is making and get him to change course.”

    As @realDonaldTrump drives away the grownups in the room, there is cause for genuine concern.

    I thank & honor Secretary Mattis for a lifetime of service.
    — Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) December 21, 2018

    Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a prominent supporter of the president who spent much of this week sparring with him over the decision to withdraw 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria in coming months, called Mattis “one of the great military leaders in American history” and urged Trump to “listen to your national security team, who are immensely talented.”

    Just read Gen. Mattis resignation letter. It makes it abundantly clear that we are headed towards a series of grave policy errors which will endanger our nation,damage our alliances & empower our adversaries.

    Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said Mattis “was giving advice that (Trump) needs to hear” and that the president’s policies of isolationism are “weak strategy that will harm Americans.”

    Focus on Capitol Hill now turns to who Trump’s pick to replace Mattis may be, and what kind of confirmation fight that nominee will face.

    Mattis was so highly regarded among lawmakers that they overwhelmingly approved a waiver allowing him to serve in the civilian defense leadership post even though by law his did not have enough time since his military service to be eligible. The Senate confirmed him by a 99-1 vote just hours after Trump was inaugurated.

    A Military Times poll conducted in late September found that nearly 84 percent of troops had a favorable view of Mattis' work leading the armed forces. Among officers, the figure was almost 90 percent.

    Eu detesto o homem e a sua personalidade, mas é um facto que ele tem tido muitas vitórias, por exemplo:

    -Conseguiu um acordo comercial muito mais favorável com o México e Canadá;

    -Está prestes a conseguir o mesmo com a China;

    -Saiu do acordo de Paris, e os cidadãos europeus pelos vistos gostariam que fizessem o mesmo por cá, pois como se viu em França, não estão dispostos a pagar os custos desse acordo.

    -A economia dos EUA está cheia de vitalidade;

    -Está a tentar reduzir os gastos militares no estrangeiro e usar esses recursos nos EUA.
