Blackwater Founder Erik Prince Says The US Military May Not Be As Capable As Claimed (Video)

 

WNU Editor: Erik Prince is getting grief because of this .... White House Bashes Erik Prince’s $6,500 Evacuation Flights: ‘Efforts To Profit Off People’s Agony And Pain’ (Forbes). But his analysis in the above video is a must see. 

What's my take on his analysis.

I personally believe the US military is very capable. The problem is America's  military and political leadership. As for NATO. It will survive President Biden, but the harm he has caused to the institution are deep. And as for its impact on America's status as the world's reserve currency. I have been saying the same thing for years, and Erik Prince's view is spot on.

I have suspected the US military may not be as capable as advertised for years. Now it seems it can finally be said out loud. As to the reality of the situation, probably the only way to "know" for certain would be an actual conflict.

I shall listen to Nr. Prince's comments later when I have more time. He is one of the most astute analysts and there's much value in hearing what he has to say.

Erik Prince also represents a sizeable private industry which fills the gap between military capability vs military needs. I'm not saying he's wrong but if he has any bias it will likely enlarge this gap rather than shrink it.

Look at Nazi Germany's military might back then. Some capable generals too. But the Fuhrer wanted to play strategist and was also a complete military idiot and megalomaniac and decided to attack much of the World at almost the same time and made other big errors like misjudging war alliances etc

Some say the same people who back then financed Hitler are now financing the great reset. Well not exactly the same but about 1,000 families own 40% of the entire World. We are talking Saudi Kings, Chinese party members, the deep state types who control the federal reserve etc

They decide what money is then only allow certain people to own banks(see what happens to people trying to start a big bank.. they're killed off)

And then they get money for free and loan it to the rest of us and we have to slave work our entire lives

That is the current social contract

They give us some perks like travelling and such

The next"social contract" takes everything from you. Everything.

Just in case you were wondering...

You'll be patrolled by robots in 10 years or less

They'll start rolling out the first robot dogs next year

And you know why they start with robot dogs? So you feel safe and they want you to respect robots. It'll be a hate crime very soon to say something against robots and how they patrol us

And they'll use something like a weaponized LGBTQ movement and cancel culture to subdue your opposition

And more lockdowns

That's the very near future if you don't start opposing this

Alex,

Excellent point. We all have biases. Mr. Prince no doubt has them to. They can influence our judgements and conclusions in a negative way. I try to always challenge my beliefs lest they challenge me!!

Anon,

If you perceive a problem with my analysis or see a way you think it can be improved, I'm all eyes. This should not be an echo chamber. Instead we should be able to constructively discuss these things.

I looked up Grima Wormtounge. As I suspected, this isn't a good character. You've essentially slandered me by comparing me to a dishonest person.

You take exception to something I've posted here? Perhaps we can discuss. When we insult people maliciously and without cause as you've done here repeatedly, nothing of value is added to the discussion and it is by definition trolling.
