    So we are taking it from a State Actor and giving to Non-State Actors? I suppose for-profit companies can be trusted. Could you define proliferation?

    Sure, why not? Which ever outside company is selected, even if it never engaged is such before, gets a twofer, being paid as well as probably scamming, i.e.; reselling to another outlaw willing to pay the price. Way to go, that’s the capitalist mindset today.
