1.) The privatisation of war will yield better results for a Pax Americana because it will allow American businessman to rapidly advance the USA's arms technology.
Debatable. Certainly, privatization does have its advantages.

2.) Technology is a panacea to everything in modern warfare and as long as you have the technological edge over your adversaries you'll be the dominant actor.
Clearly this is not true. Overreliance on technology has gotten more than one country in trouble.

3.) Russian physicists frequently sport tattoos, are experts in self-defence and love to cause mischief.
Absolute gospel truth.
