Stumbled on this while researching Bkackbwater, the huge ‘private security’ firm that is basically a private military firm used by various US government agencies.
It is about the founder Erik Prince and his attempts to buy a critical jet engine manufacturing firm in Ukraine. A former Soviet Union supplier of engines key to their military. Appears that after the big collapse the Chinese succeeded in purchasing a controlling interest……which was never approved by Ukrainian government. And two of his partners have ties to Putin.
While Trump was President, Prince tried to buy it and it is a story worthy of a Hollywood Bourne story,
As an aside, Prince is a billionaire son whose family owns a huge auto parts biz, is a former Navy SEAL, and his sister is Betsy DeVoss whom Trump appointed as Sec Education.
That’s the background; was his attempt legit? Was Trump dirty or dies Timecspin this against him?
Ok , that’s a lot if comments for a submission without comment 😉 but hopefully that was all unbiased background.
What say you? Legit it corrupt? Trump involves? Sincerely trying to wrest control from China? Working for Putin?
