Erik Prince has advised MAGA and his sister is Besty DeVos (former education czar). He is a staunch conservative and former Navy SEAL officer. Interesting he has called the administration to the carpet for Iran.

Pleased to see principled men make a stand and put country first. Just because you call out your party doesn’t mean you’re disloyal. Remember that.

You forgot to add Prince is also the founder of Blackwater security which had a rather infamous history as a contractor company for the US in the Middle East.

The truth is, you have no idea what you are talking about. None of us know all the details. It sounds like you are highly susceptible to propaganda.

The Initial Fortune: His family sold the highly successful Prince Corporation (an automotive supply company) to Johnson Controls in 1996 for US$1.35 billion. Prince was a major beneficiary of the sale, receiving a substantial portion of the proceeds.

Wikipedia

Blackwater's Earnings: Prince utilized his inheritance to launch the private security firm Blackwater in 1997. Between 1997 and 2010, the company won over $2 billion in U.S. government contracts and hundreds of millions more in classified CIA contracts. He ultimately sold his stake in the company (which was later renamed Academi) to a private equity group in 2010.

Spear's Magazine

Subsequent Ventures: Since exiting Blackwater, Prince has been actively involved in overseas security ventures, private equity investments, and natural resource projects in places like Africa. Because much of his wealth is tied up in private companies and overseas assets, exact net worth valuations vary

So you're saying that Trump knowingly went into Iran without there being a plan for the mining and closure of the strait?

If so, then he wasn't badly advised, he's a fricking moron to still go in. The latter is far worse.

The Iranian take down was epic and a perfect geopolitical show.

Iran military is set back decades.
They are the largest world destabilizer, no more.
No nuclear weapons.
China and Russia which use the same air defense systems put on notice.

This military campaign neutered China and Russia by eliminating the capability of their Middle East ally. It also put a dent in the insurance/shipping cartel that wants Iran to terrorize the Strait.

This is a huge win for America and the world.

He’s right. You’re also a disingenuous hack that makes a living off New Orleans slip and fall clients.

RFK.... I take NOTHING seriously that you post. You're a typical TDS fool and whatever "gotcha" you attempt is always either blatantly false or taken out of context. GFY
