all you need are few well placed people in the operations area, to help facilitate the shipment you need to covertly get into the country.
So, you think that the UAE (our alley) is going to start ordering the British company to start hiring some swarthy A-Rab for the purpose of blowing up one of our ports?
Is that what you are saying? Never mind the fact that if that were to happen(and it wont), you don't think some Brit is going to go public and raise holy hell about it?
They bought the company because it makes money. Not so they can control its operations. Investments like this are not made for the sake of ideology. It is about PROFITS.
They didn't have to pay $6.8 billion to do that. Anyone who is familiar with the endemic corruption and criminal activity that has been a way of life at these ports for decades will tell you that buying off "a few well-placed people" would be much cheaper than that.
