Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, joined Patrick Bet David recently. Prince described what he sees as the best solution for Ukraine – an ugly peace.
Prince is a former US Navy SEAL officer and well-respected military strategist.
Erik Prince: “We need to bring that war to a close because all Ukraine is doing right now is destroying itself demographically. They’re chewing up the next generation of manpower that they really can’t really replace right now. They don’t have enough manpower. The Western defense base is pathetic. And you’re not going to out-conventional war the Russian Bear. And I would say an ugly peace is better than whatever their idea of an ideal war is.
Patrick Bet David: Well, what is an ugly peace though?
Erik Prince: Meaning, freeze the lines, straighten the lines… Let them keep Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, whatever. It’s not the American taxpayer’s obligation to spend another hundred billion dollars in Ukraine when there’s been significant corruption and really nothing to show for it.”
Via Zlatti71.
Elon Musk agrees with Erik Prince.
Unfortunately, that is true

Our government has poured billions of unaccounted for dollars into the corrupt hellhole known as Ukraine to fund Joe and Volod's laundromat and keep the meat grinder turning and what are the results?
Thousands of dead bodies and thousands of acres of burned out farmland...while the MIC and crooked "leaders" prosper.
Peace talks anyone?
Blackrock has the contract to rebuild ukraine, so…
If the head mercenary on Earth says it should end…
“Blackrock has the contract to rebuild ukraine, so…”
...they see Russia quickly taking the land they had planned on rebuilding, and the know that the Neocons literally DO NOT CARE how much land (or Ukrainians, for that matter) is lost, as long as they can drag this war through the November election (still 8 months away).
I think that you are going to need to know what war was agreed to before this began, before you can talk about peace.
Putin and Biden met. Then Biden closes the embassies and tells Putin when to invade. Something was agreed to, already. I suspect that it’s almost unilaterally dictated by Putin, given Biden’s compromised nature.
From the WEF
Ukraine's reconstruction must be green, inclusive and technology-driven
Everyone ignores the far greater issue: NATO and the USA are at war with Russia. NATO and the USA have done everything to engage in war, from economic sanctions, money and weapons, to troops on the ground - everything except a public declaration of war.
A “freezing of lines” is utter nonsense, and Russia knows it.
>Blackrock has the contract to rebuild ukraine, so…<
Do you think the reason he wants peace is so Blackrock can move into Ukraine and start making money?
This is interesting because Prince can’t plausibly be regarded as a Russian troll. I recall that a few months before war erupted he pitched a plan in Washington to basically create and send a lend-lease Air Force to Ukraine.
I think it is best for both sides that the killing stop.
If Trump is elected he will stop all support for Ukraine. The separation of Ukraine after the Soviet Union breakup from Russia ignored the fact that millions of Russians live there.
Blackrock and Blackwater, not the same thing.
So does the Clinton Foundation.
Brevity is refreshing.
He made the same proposal on the same podcast where he made the current statement about ending the war
His proposal on a Ukrainian Air Force was to take retiring F16s and F-15s that were bound for the US Boneyard, fix them up and send them to Ukraine
“I think it is best for both sides that the killing stop.”
HOW DARE YOU say that!!!!
I suspect that you’ve deposited checks with Putin’s signature - after all, why else would you not want another million or so Ukrainians to die?
Erik Prince: Meaning, freeze the lines, straighten the lines… Let them keep Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, whatever. It’s not the American taxpayer’s obligation to spend another hundred billion dollars in Ukraine when there’s been significant corruption and really nothing to show for it.”
This guy works for Chicoms now.
Literally.
I noticed a lack of the usuall war cheerleaders posting their Hopium….if a well known war cheerleader says enough is enough, maybe people are finally waking up?
Anyone who has been to Ukraine or the EU KNOWS that corruption runs deep, very deep, in that forsaken nation… time for Ukraine to give up the ghost.
