Im just talking fantasies now, but im curious what you guys think..If Ndrangheta would be like some kind of terrorist group like the ones you see in the Mission Impossible , Bond movies. Would they be more powerful and dangerous than say ISIS or Al Qaeda? I read somewhere ISIS budget was like 2 or 3 billion dollars a year and Ndranghetas is 50-70b..
Sorry if im fucking this thread up with these kind of questions,,, this thought just came to my mind and i wanted to ask you guys what you think.
Theoretically speaking yes , though as far as practicality is concerned the answer is probably no . After all the power base of ISIS is in undeveloped countries , which makes the task of being a financially successful terrorist group all the more easier . I think it's safe to say that a highly active terrorist group couldn't maintain the revenue flow of the Ndrangheta if they were based in a developed country , since the authorities of advanced countries are all the more proactive with respect to terrorism .
That said it's curious to note that the Ndrangheta is so successful in spite of its business dealing with Islamic terrorists . One would think that the authorities would wage a very furious campaign against organized crime groups that do business with terrorists , however it seems the Ndrangheta has ( so far ) escaped an effort of that sort .
