Erik Prince in talks to acquire Ukrainian aerospace manufacturer Motor Sich that the US is trying to prevent China from buying - Trump admin has approached Prince and at least one other potential buyer Max Polyakov, by @brett_forrest
wsj.com/articles/secur…
@brett_forrest A spokesman for Frontier Services Group & Prince confirmed he's looking to invest in Ukraine

A person briefed on the visit said Prince, if he agrees, "will front the deal"

Prince's FSG is majority Chinese owned so will China indirectly buy the firm?

@brett_forrest Per this story Trump advisor Donald Winter was scheduled to visit Ukraine and meet FireFly owner Maxym Polyakov who is working on a "T" secret project to strengthen the defense capabilities of Ukraine - a project involving Winter & Defense Sect Mark Esper

Erik Prince an informal adviser to Trump, is in discussions to purchase a Ukrainian aerospace manufacturer that the U.S. is trying to prevent China from buying it. 🙄

Fun fact: Prince’s company is half owned by the Chinese. wsj.com/articles/secur…
Prince is the ED & DC of Frontier Services Group, a Hong Kong- & Beijing-based private security contractor.

He has traveled a number of times to Ukraine, visiting at least nine times since the start of 2014, the start of the country’s war with Russia.

20. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

#China plans to sell #Pakistan an aircraft carrier and integrate it militarily - I believe a carrier for Pak is far fetched, but the article is very revealing about CN plans for Pak, something that usually gets dismissed @desertfox61I @avarakai sundayguardianlive.com/news/china-pla…
Beijing is increasingly integrating Pakistan into its military system to fulfill its global ambitions. Meanwhile, India refuses to sell Brahmos to Vietnam for fear of upsetting China. China is not reciprocating India's actions. #Huawei is allowed to bid for the 5G network.
Conscious Western efforts to retard its growth & access to hi-tech supply chains, Beijing has adopted an overtly benign tone with its neighbors. These are, however, cosmetic tactical measures & China’s ambition of developing “a kind of military force system” has not changed.
