Blackwater Founder Eric Prince on ISIS

UPDATE 3.25.22: Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater Worldwide has a different approach to winning wars, and his ideas deserve further investigation. In 2015 he told the Washington Post how his former organization could have helped solve the problems in Syria.

Read more on the situation in Ukraine from Blackwater Worldwide here (Prince is no longer associated with the organization, though his vision for it remains its inspiration).

Originally posted April 23, 2015.

In a piece in the Washington Post, Blackwater’s founder says, “It was a ‘shame’ the Obama administration had ‘crushed’ his old business because it could have solved the issue of whether to put American troops on the ground in Iraq.

Of the Kurds, Prince notes, “The Kurds, once a lean and strong fighting force that routinely rebuffed Saddam’s forces, now find themselves outgunned, under- equipped, and overwhelmed…. The Kurd’s biggest problem is the U.S. State Department blocking them from selling their oil and from buying serious weaponry to protect their stronghold and act as a stabilizing force in the region.”
