Blackwater Founder Erik Prince on Ukraine, ” We Need to Bring That War to a Close – An Ugly Peace is Better than Whatever Their idea of an Ideal War Is”

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

Not our fight. No US dog in that war. Britain and France can take care of it as they have experience in that area, 1850s. “Half a League, Half a league Onward!”

“The fight in Ukraine is about the Green Agenda. Is it any wonder why Zeepers are so committed to this war?”

I think that most here, and virtually most in the ENTIRE WEST have no clue as to how strong the Green and Globohomo movements are in the minds of our current crop of ‘leaders’ - otherwise it would all start to make sense to them.

Consider the following:
1. Putin believes that gays should stay in the CLOSET and particularly objects to gays Grooming children - what about Western leaders?
2. Putin will sell his resources on the world market and that INCLUDES oil and coal, two energy sources that the Left absolutely HATES - and same with Nuclear, they want that gone also.

Basically, Putin is in the way of their two TOP PRIORITIES, which is why they Globalists/Neocons had to start the Ukraine War, and likewise, why they cannot let it end on Putin’s terms. Another million or so Ukraine causalities is not a big deal to them, and they may well be willing to sacrifice WESTERN CITIES if that’s what it takes to stop Putin from taking Ukraine. They are literally INSANE in this regard.

Sure.
He’s built him a raft and it’s ready for floating.
Ol’ Mississippi, she’s callin’ his name.
Catfish are jumpin’.
That paddle wheel thumpin’.
Black water keeps rollin’ on past just the same.
Old Blackwater, keep on rollin’.
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on him.

“War profiter. He wanted $50 billion/yr to fix Afghanistan.”

Exactly - he’s following the war, outside of Western source, so he knows that his opportunities are diminishing by the day, as Russia sweeps up land and villages.

Should have given it to him.

American military C&C is light years ahead of the rest of the world -and that includes Israel’s.

Remove the politics and unleash it via contracting and behold the wonder of American arms, cohesion and leadership.

A war against Russia’s serf-conscript military? Lol.

Can’t wait for NATO to finish Russia? Hire Blackwater.

"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."

Oh noob, you are hilarious. Trump directly blames Russia for creating a "holocaust" in Ukraine. Click on the link, unless of course it's blocked by your country lol...

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before. [Russia] is blowing up buildings, with children, with women, with professionals, with people, just people, they're blowing up indiscriminately. They're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying."

"The numbers are far worse than what you're seeing on television. I don't know if they [are] keeping them down. When you see buildings being blown up and then they say one person died? Give me a break. Many people are dying and we're allowing this to happen."

"They have to stop it and they have to stop it now, but they don't respect the United States, and the United States is not doing anything about it. This is a holocaust, this is a horrible thing that's happening and you see it on television every night."
