Someone used to say.....

Putin, and "let's not judge them as terrorist" groups like Al Qaeda should exploit American culture decline.

Someone said - multiple times - use gangs. Prisoners. Disaffected groups of people due to tribalism.

Well....

"America’s Rivals Have a New Favorite Weapon: Criminal Gangs
Russia, China, Iran and other countries are increasingly outsourcing their dirty work to drug traffickers, cybercriminals and paid assassins."


Who knows? While I doubt it'll happen you *might* have some government employees booted from jobs. They'll have knowledge. I'D's, credentials. Normalcy.
They might need money and they might have a chip on their shoulder.

I'll make sure to post this weekend in a few places that "I hope that anyone from the Russians to Al Qaeda doesn't try to hire or co opt this cohort"

On another note, I don't see why Russia literally doesn't have sales reps in parking lots of military recruitment centers. Pay people NOT to enlist and then make an effort to buy off Officers to leave the service.
