ERIK PRINCE: “This is not our fight. Not our party. If the Israelis want to take out this Iranian site they can use their Air Force or rent planes from any country nearby. They are trying to coerce us in. That’s what this is about, and I’m resolute about it”

NFN but our GBU-57 MOPs are not going to real-world-test themselves.
I agree the US should stay out, but I don’t think the Israelis are trying to “coerce” us.
Translation... he wants to buy a B-52 out of AMARC in Tucson that he can set up with a private crew and get the Israelis to rent from him.
Bad news for Israel.
Called Hertz and I have the B-2 bomber booked for the next 8 weeks.
Those kids are going to really regret they didn’t listen to me when I told them to stay off my grass.
My former boss.
Wow. Have you ever heard of a guy named Jeffrey Epstein? Have you heard of something called AIPAC? Ted Cruz got almost 2 million from them last year. You should look into them.
Iran is our enemy and has declared war on the U.S.
Iran sponsors Worldwide Islamic Jihadism - unprovoked mass murder.
Iran is dangerous and with nuclear capability EXTREMELY dangerous to the U.S., Israel, and the world.
This is very much our fight, our party.
” but I don’t think the Israelis are trying to “coerce” us.”
Oh please... they are waging a massive propaganda full court press and calling in every AIPAC bribe to Congress. They sure aren’t benignly standing there wondering what we will do.
Yes, we should stay out as much as we can…it is in our vital national interests that mullahs in Iran do NOT have nukes imo…
He’s watching his future bread and butter disappear, as a subdued Iran wouldn’t be out there inciting terrorists any more.
Do you work for NIAC? Just as influential, they’ve covered Iran’s back for years.
“This is very much our fight, our party.”
Agreed. This can all be laid at the feet of the feckless Dems as usual. We should have obliterated the mullahs years ago.
What he means is, his company can not rake in the cash like he can with Ukraine.
(This is very much our fight)
No it’s not! It’s Israel’s fight. Let them sacrifice their servicemen and women in this conflict. They can take out Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons or centrifuges themselves. They have been given billions by the US over the decades to handle these situations.
Wonder what Erik Prince’s buddy Kirill Dmitriev, is up to these days. Catching the surf in the Seychelles?
I’m torn on this issue, I can see both sides of the argument, here’s what I’m thinking will happen if we do bomb the nuclear site in Iran.
Whatever fight Iran has left, some of that fight will be used to attack US interests around the middle east with missiles, perhaps they unleash terror cells inside the US, etc.
Any retaliation by Iran will be used as an argument to further involve the US, a full-scale air war to aid Israel, some of the neocon warhawks in Washington will begin to advocate for ground troops in Iran.
It won’t end with a few bombing runs over Iran.
What are some of the unintended consequences of getting involved, a major immigration movement in Europe further spreading Jihadis all over the place.
The replacement for the current regime could be even worse.
I say we should stay out of the fight unless in the unlikely event that Israel begins to go under.
Now, sitting in a boardroom above Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, he explains his newest title, acquired this month: chairman of Frontier Services Group, an Africa-focused security and logistics company with intimate ties to China’s largest state-owned conglomerate, Citic Group. Beijing has titanic ambitions to tap Africa’s resources—including $1 trillion in planned spending on roads, railways and airports by 2025—and Mr. Prince wants in.

You’re ignoring America’s national interest in preventing a rogue enemy nation from going nuclear.
Consider this before turtling.

April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.
October 1983: Operatives of the Iran-backed Hezbollah drive a truck bomb at a Marine compound in Beirut, killing 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service personnel.
December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.
March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.
December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.
August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands.

2003-2011: Iranian-backed militias kill at least 603 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon.
