| Blackwater Founder Erik Prince on Ukraine, ‘We Need to Bring That War to a Close’ | |
| 2024-03-03 | |
[Gateway] Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater,
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."

| #3 Dale - um - no. The number of Constellis contractors in Ukraine is close to zip. Nobody in the business wants to go there. It is absolutely not like Iraq, Afghanistan or the other garden spots. And "yes" Constellis bought enough of the business that they could put a cap on the daily contract rates. |
