We could unite the rebellions.
AKA, kill their leaders and gain control.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

rhino vs polerbear
who would win

Also why is farming rhinos bad?
we farm cows.
I honestly don't see a problem farming them because it will drasticly lower horn price so pochers will have no reson to kill them.
We solve more problems farming them.

Another con is their limited flight high, flight operation, and horrible steering. They are not that easy to repair either. The wires need to be calibrated perfectly, as wrong calibration might result in failure and loss of the plane. The weaponry is also hard to calibrate, as wrong calibration causes the machine gun to hit the propellor. Also, most modern bullets pack quite a punch, they can just tear of your entire wing in a few hits.

I am fully against rhino farming. It's yet another 'and this is why we must destroy them, mr. President/Prime minister/ dictator.' Just waiting to happen.
What, we are saving an near extinct species(no reason to shoot one whitout horn) and making a profit. Hell, we can even do the selling on the black market and then we'd be following standard procedures.

If we're going to have an airforce, I propose we hold on to our dirigibles, and invest in cheap interception technology. (A tight network of iron chains stops most rockets on a safe distance. And flak can stop fighters.) For fighters we use whatever we can get out hands on cheapily.
Dirgibles? Biplanes? We don't we just get foot operated helicopters and call it a day. Seriously, the most half-assed army on earth could finish off our airforce. Do yoiu know how many hand-operated SAMs there are? Enough that we wouldn't last very long.

I like the idea of vehicles, as we learned from Syria that aircraft can easily turn tides,  but not ones that a random dude wit a home-made RPG could shoot down.

Corruption? Rebellions? Good. We can exploit both of those. All we need now is a reason that any rebels would want to listen to us. Anyone here from the Congo? Because as of right nw we are a bunch of foreigners attempting to take over their country. I doubt they'd appreciate it, no matter how much of a improvement it is.

Dirigibles have certain advantages. They can hover and don't use as much fuel as helicopters. We'd just need to invest in anti-anti-air (point defense and such).

Napalm can be usefull too in a jungle environement. But then again, considering it is our jungle environment, it might be wiser to keep to conventional weaponry.

1.I meant biplanes as a temporary solution.
2. Rhino farming is just.... Don't.
3. We have no lasers, or railguns. We have enough money to buy a plane ticket or two out there.
4. a) setting jungles on fire will not help anything.
    b) napalm sticks to kiddies too.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

I still say railguns or coilguns. Somebody here has to have some engineering know-how. Build 'em ourselves. Out of junk.

Okay, but considering our total cash balance is $170, Thats expensive junk.

We need money. I have said it a million times and il say it again, we need a cool original idea, make a proxy company then get some rich guy to buy it for a few million.

Oh and by the way, technicaly we actuly have more money then the U.S, because of there trillions in loans.

Thats actuly a good idea, we loan a ball-ton of money then just use it to destroy the people we loaned it from! Brilliant!

Why would we capture them. We can just let them run around in a wildlifepark, with sensors attached so we can harvest their horns before the others get a chance.

Again, fake rhino horn powder. None of the trouble, all of the effect (which is none, too, btw).
