- reuwsaat 12y agoMore like Google wants to replace Halliburton.
- reuwsaat 12y agoConfused about downvote? SpaceX is a start-up in Silicon Valley. Google is a start-up in Silicon Valley. Russia is providing a commercial service in an established industry with huge start-up costs to the US Governement. Halliburton is providing a commercial service in an established industry with huge start-up costs to the US Governement. SpaceX has a founder whose background is not in this industry. Google has founders whose backgrounds are not in the business of providing Government services. Russia is very much in the business of providing government services. Halliburton is very much in the business of providing government services. Seems like a solid analogy.

- muyuu 12y agoIf Airbus was a nation with a rogue government.
- waps 12y agoNow if we could only get Airbus to, say, invade France, my investment in Boeing would start paying off.
- mahouse 12y agoNot much roguer than the US.
- gottasayit 12y agoPlease. Look at what's happening in the Ukraine. Can you see the US invading Mexico or Canada and keeping the territory because our President was a megalomaniac? Even when we do invade somewhere to take out someone like UBL, Saddam Hussein, or Noriega; when we're done we clean up, rebuild some infrastructure, and leave. No other nation on earth in history has restricted the wars it fights in such a principled way, rather than using them as excuses to just take more territory.
- lmm 12y agoYou should check your history. The US kept the Philippines until they revolted hard enough to stick. It keeps Puerto Rico to this day.
- mahouse 12y agoThe US never leave, they leave a puppet leader and ensure the new regime that is set in that country will always obey the "US standards of quality".
