Consultoria em Estudos sobre Guerras, Terrorismo e Estratégia

Traditional threats are posed by states using recognized military capabilities and forces in comprehended forms of military campaign and conflict. Irregular threats are posed by an adversary employing unconventional, asymmetric methods and means to counter traditional U.S. advantages. These methods and means can include such means of irregular warfare as terrorism, insurgency and guerrilla war-fare, and can accompany economic, political, informational and cultural means as well. Catastrophic threats involve the acquisition, possession and use of nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological weapons – weapons of mass destruction (WMA).

In war, a state actor will generally match available means—defined by a portion of gross domestic product matched to technological capability—to projected political end-states—contingency requirements planned against potential ad...

Website of John Perkins excerpt from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins P R O LO G U E Quito, Ecuador’s capital, stretches across a volcanic valley high in the Andes, at an altitude of nine thousand feet. Residents of this city, which was founded long before Columbus arrived in the Americas, are accustomed to seeing snow on the surrounding peaks, despite the fact that they live just a few miles south of the equator. The city of Shell, a frontier outpost and military base hacked out of Ecuador’s Amazon jungle to service the oil company whose name it bears, is nearly eight thousand feet lower than Quito. A steaming city, it is inhabited mostly by soldiers, oil workers, and the indigenous people from the Shuar and Kichwa tribes who work for them as prostitutes and laborers. To journey from one city to the other, you must travel a road that is both tortuous and breathtaking. Local people will tell you that during the trip you experience a...

Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.

A competência e capacidade de alguns chamados mercenários corporativos sempre retoma a questão já levantada sobre qual é o limite de fato da guerra. Em um ambiente totalmente irregular em que não se sabe quem é quem, desde as grandes guerras do século XX, o contrato de atores que resolveriam os problemas criados pelos estadistas é algo constante e acaba sendo fundamental, já que o Estado não pode ir de fato até onde ele gostaria, e nem sabe-se a capacidade que este teria de ir. A destruição total está fora de questão, então agir dentre um cenário permitido requer alguma sabedoria e capacidade técnica, operacional, estratégica, tática. De todos os chamados mercenários corporativos o mais significante é sem dúvidas  Eeben Barlow , veterano de forças especiais da África do Sul, além de grande administrador, tendo ele criado o que hoje em dia se conhece como PMC, tem capacidade tático-operacional para atuar em campo, fazendo com que a excelência nas operações da Executive Outcomes e a...

A Espada!             Operações Especiais, espionagem, terrorismo, mercenarismo, nunca foram tabus dentro de instituições. Durante a Guerra Fria a OTAN em conjunto com a CIA comandou uma operação secreta que se chamou  Operatio Gladio  (Operação Espada), que mantinha uma rede por detrás das forças armadas da Itália, buscando informações do envolvimento de seus chefes de estado com o comunismo, tal qual o avanço da URSS ao ocidente. O cenário de operações era atuar na Europa e a estratégia era criar tensão impedindo uma ascensão da esquerda ao poder.             Assim após a queda do Muro de Berlim o mundo foi dividido em esferas, hostis entre si, vindas de um passado onde qualquer meio fora necessário para que fossem controladas. Dentre estes exemplos as ações da URSS diante da Hungria de da Checoslováquia. Porém não há dúvidas quanto a forma que o ocidente mantev...
