You know Trumpy is going to take care of Best Bud Putin.

I know they have Mils in Arabic countries:
"Mill (currency) - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Mill_(currency)
The Egyptian pound is divided into 1000 milliemes, and 10 milliemes equal 1 piastre."

Exclusive: Documents Reveal Erik Prince's $10 Billion Plan to Make Weapons and Create a Private Army in Ukraine
BY SIMON SHUSTER/KYIV

In the wake of those killings, Blackwater lost a $1 billion contract to guard U.S. diplomats and officials in Iraq. But the company rebranded and continued to thrive. The Obama Administration granted major contracts to Prince’s firm to provide security in conflict zones. Prince’s interests expanded well beyond the military sector. He traded oil and minerals in Africa. He assembled a private army for his friend, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi. He prepared a force in Somalia to combat pirates in the Gulf of Aden. He helped train a hit squad for the CIA. When Trump took office, Prince called on the new Administration to privatize the war effort in Afghanistan, publicly pitching a plan that would let contractors handle many of the U.S. military’s functions.

""Had it been another four years of Trump, Erik would probably be closing the deal," a former Ukrainian advisor, told Time. "


Doesn't sound like it got off the ground.
"Blackwater founder Erik Prince had plans to create a $10 billion private army in Ukraine, according to an investigation by TIME. The former Navy SEAL hoped to hire Ukrainian combat veterans and acquire large portions of Ukrainian defense infrastructure including fighter jets and helicopters. Parts of his proposal that required approval by the Ukrainian government would have allowed Prince to build munitions factories in the country and combine the nation’s leading aerospace and aviation firms to compete with Boeing and Airbus. Officials were skeptical of the proposal because people tied to the project had interests that aligned with Russia, an aggressor in the region, and two of Prince’s allies were under criminal investigation in New York. “We had to wonder: Is this the best sort of partnership we can get from the Americans? This group of shady characters working for a close ally of Trump?” said Igor Novikov, a former aide to the Ukrainian president."

Blackwater was heavily involved with the coup in Ukraine that Prince planned on moving in and taking over.

Read the Time article or do a search on Obama, Blackwater and Ukraine. Who do you think implemented the US run coup in Ukraine, Ukrainians?

When I was in Egypt the Money from the Arabic Countries was divided into thousandths. The West is familiar with the Basic Unit (say a Dollar) being divided into tenths (a Dime) and hundredths (a Penny).
The Basic Unit there (say a Dinar) is divided into 'dimes', 'pennies', AND 'Mils'. The Mils that I saw were like aluminum shavings that resembled 'fingernails'. They were so thin and lightweight that the wind could carry them away. They were next to worthless then (1965), and may not exist as a 'coin' anymore. (?)

Different names in different Countries. 'Fils' is used, so is 'Millimes'.

The US is privatizing the military so the CIA hires Blackwater for its army of mercenaries to overthrow democratically elected governments. Eric Prince came real close to controlling Ukraine.
