Not quite. Mali (and others) replaced the international task forces with Wagner because said forces wouldn't do whatever they asked them to do.
Let's not beat around the bush. The Juntas want gunmen who will crush dissent and not ask questions.
Wagner's attempts to pin their warcrimes on France came after the fact.

They're not outlaws. They still have bank accounts and homes and investments. Things that can be taken away.
These guys are not grunts but commanders or people associated with group.

Heat pumps should be cheaper to run at this point. But installation costs are the highest

They would not. The A10 was outdated during first gulf war already

Neither side has the air superiority to use jets for CAS effectively. Too many sams and manpads around.

Tornados are for the nuclear deterrent and a couple roles eurofighter cannot currently perform.

Yes, iirc under newer spanish law, violence against women by former or current romantic partners is considered a sexist crime (if attacker is a man, that is)

Depending on scale of conflict carrier groups on their own can wage war as soon as they get to position. It's a fair question.
Theres elements of the Gulf War that point at that capability as the US was able to organize an armed response to defend its allies in the area really quick. While there were 5 months between loss of Kuwait and combat operations, that has to do with desire to build an arab coalition as well as obtain UN backing (which gave Iraq until january to pull their troops back anyway)
That's of course, assuming we consider Iraq a near peer. China seems a more obvious choice but at least Iraq had proven gear and troops with field experience. I dont imagine Russia would fare any better than Iraq did either.

US and some NATO countries, otherwise not really. Few countries can actually deploy an effective force outside their borders (and only the US can really wage war on the other side of the globe with a near peer on short notice)

Germany, France and others are selling gear too. In fact Germany is selling them AA systems, howitzers, and rheinmetall wants to sell them tanks
So not directly to the US
