1. The question that has no answer yet: why did "they" need to make this spectacular attack on US troops? First important information: they were regular military, not mercs (PMC - private military companies).

2. Call "they" what fits your narrative better: the trump-putin alliance for those who like to personalize interests, the right wing cabal, the global alliance for merging and cartelization - GAMC. Individuals and their names only..

3... represent interests, groups, alliances and segments. They absolutely don't matter. Yes, trump is a ridiculous psychopath. So what? A ridiculous rich-white-trash looking psychopathic dude was needed for this role. That's it.

4. If we all agree "the trump" is a part of a bigger political entity, the real question is why this bigger political entity did something so provocative towards the US military high command?

Because that is surely what it looks like.

5. The military high command, as far as I read and my sources tell me, is not a big fan of mercs but the majority is very much a fan of private military tech companies. In fact, there's a lot of inbreeding among the two sectors.

6. However, given that PMCs are such relevant protagonists in the plots resulting in military conflicts, given the % of mercs they supply and the profit they make, where do they stand in this specific event?

7. These are the questions that matter and it is from this level that things trickle down to the donals and bolsonaros goofing around. Of course the trump knew about the plan to kill US troops. He may or may not..

8... have had a role in the decision. Remember: he "plays" US president. He's given some space to be his stupid self because he is a natural there and the MAGA base loves him for his racism and stupidity. But he is small potatoes in the grand scheme.

9. What is the angle? Who's provoking who? What are the forces at play?

Meanwhile, I hope the families of the dead soldiers sue the hell out of the donald.

OBS - collecting data on PMCs and TCO (transnational criminal organizations), mapping their mergers and relations and also their side investments is a serious side project of mine.
