Maybe Trump can pull a rabbit out of a hat; but I share the concerns that Erik Prince expresses in the video below:

Prince’s take seems intelligent and well-informed (if guarded). As he says in so many words, Trump is behaving as Israel’s bitch. It is evil. It spits on every principle that ever made the USA a beacon of virtue and fairness. Trump has become a dishonest bully, bombing 8 different countries–Mockingbird media doesn’t tell you how many people Trump indiscriminately murdered–in the 1st 13 months of his “peace” presidency.
For those of us who care about living in a free & moral country, elections have become nearly meaningless. Red team or blue team crap is just a useful distraction for the ruling class (Zionists/CIA being the top dog), who bleed us for their purposes.
J. Sobran, this is a war of choice– not of necessity– and it is up to Trump and his team to convince us as to why we are doing this, and why in particular we are doing it now. The constitutional safeguards have been thrown away. While there is a desire to retain an element of surprise, and to have the latitude to act unfettered, the constitutional requirement for a declaration of war was enacted for good reason.
Does this meet the criteria for a just war? At this point, I doubt it.
It is still possible this will “work out”, and that Trump’s plan– whatever it is– will succeed. But it still doesn’t feel right because we are doing this more for Israel (and its donor class) than for our own country.
The Constitution says only a vote of Congress can declare war. The Bushes, Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Trump have all spit and stomped on the Constitution repeatedly. Their OATH… was to defend the Constitution.
The malignant organism that rules our country is essentially organized crime in disguise.
I read an online article quoting Rubio. He was quoted to say we decided to act because Israel had already planned its military actions in Iraq and set its date; and if we did not act, our bases and interests in the area would have been jeopardized. That would mean the tail is wagging the dog.
Prince has a rather checkered past. A few his close employees were indicted. His firm Frontier Services did work for the CCP. He was a Navy Seal and very loyal to Trump.
Prince has frequently donated to conservative Christian organizations, including the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty and the Prison Fellowship, and conservative political groups such as the Council for National Policy, of which his father was vice president at the time of his death. After the Nisour Square massacre in which Blackwater employees opened fire in a crowded square in Baghdad, killing seventeen Iraqi civilians and seriously wounding twenty more. Prince supported a Muslim orphanage in Afghanistan and built mosques at Blackwater bases.
The FBI has initiated serval investigations of Prince and his firms
In short he is little ditzy . Read his Wikipedia profile.
There is no question, Fred, that this guy has been “in the arena” and has gotten his hands dirty. I still think his comments in this video seem reasonable. How does one assure regime change will take place without ground troops? How does one overcome the fact that the radical Islamists have substantial public support in Iran and a large numbers of well-supplied “troops” internally? Maybe Trump, the DOD and the CIA have answers to these questions.
