Many departments of defence around the world are increasingly outsourcing defence to private enterprise: 1. cybersecurity 2. drone capability and scaling 3. communications including satellites This is all very well until a country with a government that you did not elect fails to exercise control over people who you don't know that have power beyond their wildest dreams. Chaos. 'No guardrails' is fun, right? ...til its not. Q. So, what are the guardrails? A. Global governance, of course. Which means joint (all people in the world) response capabilities.

The people of the world need to stop listening to weak strongmen who say supporting global cooperation means supporting some sort of a demonic world order. It does not. Support a stronger United Nations.
