And once again we address the LARGEST elephant in the room

 About eight or ten years ago I wrote a piece on weapons trade shows and how easy it might be to actually attend and purchase products.

In late February another show took place in Abu Dhabi called The International Defense Exhibition and Conference or IDEX.

IDEX or Weapons Galore

This year's "exhibition" was the LARGEST in their 30 year history with 1,350 companies selling "products." 130,000 human beings attended the 7 day show representing 65 countries.

65 countries with pre-established credit limits and certain restrictions showed up to restock or start accumulating ANY type of weapon manufactured on this planet except of course for Nuclear Bombs.

I say except but in truth I have no idea if there are any restrictions or any credit limits.

Stop for a second and visualize two "buyers" showing up at the same booth at the same time and both parties are there to purchase items that will eliminate the other party from the face of the earth.  One purchases 5 tanks so the other one buys 10.  That upsets the one party so they buy 25 anti-tank missile launchers and the other party buys 50.....and on and on and on and on and on..........

Go back up and click on IDEX or Weapons Galore and spend some time perusing the list of wheelers and dealers and then make sure you fill out the application for the next trade show because I'm fairly certain you will need to start supplying yourself with "products." 

And by the way we aren't just talking about guns.

Uniforms, land mines, weaponized drones, war planes, submarines, mercenaries, tanks and satellites.

1,350 companies!

130,000 customers!

One of those customers is called Germany. They have verbally committed to spend $100 BILLION to reequip it's armed forces.

I wonder if there was  weaponized Food Truck companies represented at the show?

How about weaponized Portable toilets'?

What cellular company makes cell phone trigger switches that will detonate other cell phones that have been freely handed out to soldiers heading out to battle. 

"Oh by the way corporal take this cell phone that was donated to us by T-Mobile munitions division and don't worry the monthly fees have been waived."

Use your imagination for weapons design and keep in mind these shows are biennial so you have two years to prepare.

After reading about this show and how popular it was there might be a good chance you won't need a weapon in two years.

You might not need anything

ever

again.

1,350 COMPANIES!

130,000 CUSTOMERS!


JUST IN CASE YOU WANT A LIST OF EXHIBITORS
