America and other nations helped Libyans clean Sirte of ISIS mercenaries in 2016. Russian mercenaries are next but America is MIA. dailysabah.com/politics/libya…
Russian mercenaries have also recently taken over Libya's largest oil field in the southwest. energyvoice.com/oilandgas/afri…
Its too simplistic to assume that Russian mercenaries work for Putin. When Erik Prince's "Opus" mercenary plan failed in early July 2019, Haftar replaced them with Wagner. Despite Christiaan Durrant running to the CIA, Trump didn't care. saudileaks.org/en/saudis-plot…

James McGovern aka“Earthquake McGoon”and copilot Wallace Buford were the first Americans killed in combat in Vietnam...They died in 1954 air dropping supplies to the French flying for Chennault's air cargo company bought by the CIA (Civil Air Transport). cia.gov/news-informati…
The successor to CAT was Air America, a Delaware company, based in Hong Kong. The famous April 29, 1975 photo of the last helo out in Vietnam" landing on 22 Gia Long Street is actually an Air America Huey. Air America was eventually liqudated: muckrock.com/news/archives/…
Today the CIA and covert support is "blended" with Special Mission Units, contractors and support elements working together with local partners in espionage, training, CT, UW and ‘Operational Preparation of the Environment’. Things are not as clear. militarytimes.com/opinion/commen…
AFRICOM: Putin trash painted new Mig's to make them look like beater Syrian jets?
"The Russian fighter aircraft arrived in Libya, from an airbase in Russia, after transiting Syria where it is assessed they were repainted to camouflage their Russian origin" africom.mil/media-room/pre…
This excellent May 7th, article by Joseph Trevithick has good details about the condition and paint schemes of Syrian Mig-29's. I get that "Patina" is in for hot rods but...damn Vlad. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3…

Lot of spam and disinformation being pumped into the Internet re Libya since May 23 to deflect attention from trapped Russian mercenaries waiting in Bani Walid. Buying time?
The "Russian" mercenary who was shot and bled to death alone outside Tripoli in Libya last week was Aleksa Duric a Serb. A sad look at his life via his Instagram account h/t Oded Berkowitz @Oded121351. instagram.com/serbboss_g787/
The latest Russian conspiracy to deflect the idea that Russian mercenaries were in Libya is that Duric was dressed up by RADA and then made to look as if he died in battle. sobesednik.ru/politika/20200…
Tributes to Aleksa "Хунгуз" Duric are now appearing on the internet. The moral of this sad story is: don't bleed out alone in a foreign country abandoned by your fellow mercenaries.
January 11, 2017: Erik Prince is in the Seychelles Four Seasons watching Khalifa Haftar aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov. He tells George Nader to get Putin associate Kirill Dmitriev back and tells him "Hands Off Libya" Prince later lied about the meeting.
April 22 2019: Russian Advisor "Ivan"reports "Khalifa Haftar’s chances of taking Tripoli are assessed as nil. They "repeatedly asked to be familiarised with the plan to take Tripoli, but it has never been presented. Most likely, it simply doesn’t exist " interpretermag.com/report-on-the-…
May 2019: Former FSG employee Christaan Durrant working for Erik Prince as Lancaster 6/Opus begins hiring mercenaries to hunt and kill or kidnap members of the GNA and other Libyans. The mission ends in disaster and they flee to Malta on July 2, 2019. maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/…

“The standoff began in June 2018”. Funny how no one remembers the false flag attacks on the tankers off Iran.... In June of 2018. Yeah that’s why they pay me the big bucks. I know #fuckery when I see it. cnn.com/2020/05/21/pol…
I spend way too much time pointing out why the two attacks a month apart were part of a strategy to make Iran seem like a bellicose nation. I will try to dig up my thread. But somebody dragged out Dick Cheney's old playbook bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Who's up for a death pool on Haftar? I gotta bad feeling the Turks are going to zap him. Haftar hired Erik Prince's "Opus" mercenaries to kill the GNA (3 are EU citizens) in June but they shit the bed. I am getting spidey tingles that the Turks may reach out and touch Haftar.
Strategically Haftar's magical vaporization solves an awkward legal problem for the UAE, saves KSA some money, removes a political barrier and would encourage a constructive dialog between east, west and south. And of course sells whatever weapon Turkey uses to bunker bust him.
The mainroadblock:. Khalifa Haftar is an American. How would Trump react to a medicare recipiant being shredded as a terrorist in his bed? Turkey already has a bounty on M. Dahlan, wants Muhammed Fethullah Gülen badly and would have awkward conversations about legality.
While we are waiting for Turkish F-16s to show Syrian Mig 29s who paid the most attention in flight school.. lets all watch....
The confusion on was is zooming who is not unique to Libya. This deliberate obsufaction also began with Top Gun movie. Was it a Korean or Russian Mig 28 that Mav had to go inverted on? nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/dead…
Confusion reigns as proxy aviation #fuckery confounds even the experts. But we know one thing to be certain...after the junk Syrian planes all crash there is still enough sand for Haftar's pilots to play homoerotic volleyball games in slow motion. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3…
Remember that magic day: Jan 14 2020 when Haftar could have frozen his war gains, but he chose to stomp out of a peace deal and start murdering Libyans again. Turkey said they would teach him a lesson. They did. Haftar is a bad student. #LessonTwoBegins. nytimes.com/2020/05/21/wor…
Turkey intervened to give the GNA breathing space. Then Haftar began targeting Turkish advisors. Bad idea. That's why Haftar had his Pantsir's whipped down in public. The UAE took their mercenaries and slithered home. Syria was Haftar's first lesson:
Turkey cucked both LNA, Russian and UAE military posturing by literally wiping out 8, 9? $5M weapons with cheap Rokessan MAM-L and L-UMTAS missiles. Here is some older PR Hype for Pantsir:
The warm days have come. The Plague is still growing among us. Grannie refuses to die for Trump. The economy is not magically reopening. More businesses are starting to wobble. Our solution is to print more money. Trump Maga folks await their stimulus.
The state governors seem more attuned to the realities of the problem and local solutions but Trump is going to war with left wing governors even though they are not politicizing a medical emergency. I wonder what the logic is behind that? nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The economy was predicted to shrink from overheated activity before Coronavirus. It's a global problem that has created national and regional divisions and fears. Why?pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020…
This defamation lawsuit against the Intercept says that Erik Prince served as a SEAL for 5 years and he does most most of his business out of Wyoming. And that meeting with Russians harmed his reputation and career. Oh.. and Pierre Omidyar is a Democrat. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Kinda weird because Erik is a short time SEAL with a Deferred Prosecution Agreement and accordingly most of his business registrations and activity moved offshore. And like lots of Trumpsters, we kinda know he meets with Russians and sanctioned people. taskandpurpose.com/news/erik-prin…
The word "secret" is usually plugged in front of those meetings that that for some predictable reason don't stay secret very long and cause quite a stir. reuters.com/article/us-ven…
So let's not forget that when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. It is BECAUSE the UAE thought they were sneaky and hired incompetent mercenaries to kill the GNA and take Tripoli for Haftar that the Russians sent mercenaries to Libya in September.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The UAE wasted $80 million on round one for mercenaries in June and who knows how much on round two in March, paid to fly in 80,000 tons of Yemen-based weapons and other junk (and shipped a bunch out) and have lost at least 4 Pantsirs at $15M a copy.
The Saudis wasted $500 million on Haftar, Egypt wasted money providing bases and advisors, the French wasted money on advisors and Trump wasted a phone call. reuters.com/article/us-sau…
RUMINT: Russian fighter jets have just landed in Tobruk and Al Jufra from Syria to defend Haftar. Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker, Su-34 Fullback, Su-24 Fencer. NATO doubled down on the GNA. Anyone for WW3 in Libya this summer?
Some info on their Syrian use here. defence-blog.com/news/russia-de…
Cool guy video on Fullback. Will Turkish F-16s kick some Putin Top Gunski ass? Will the Turkish pilots go inverted?
Equal Time> Cool Guy video on Turkish Airforce. Cue the 80's hair band industrial soundtrack awkward english lyrics.
Some serious weak sauce from swarthy eastern european man with mustache and some old guy named Rudy. kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
According to Trump the family of a potential president cannot engage in #fuckery until you actually elect him as President, then its cool.
Why doesn't Raging Rudy have one of those consumer complaint shows where you send him bills you are pissed about and he yells at construction guys, pizzerias or dry cleaners to get you a full refund?
Trump guy who met with Russians works for Chicoms sues because his proxies tried to work with Russcoms. I assume because Erik doesn't want The Intercept to go to press with his latest Libya disaster which also proves he was working with KSA/UAE and Haftar? realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/…
I keep saying that Erik has been burned at the highest level and his shit is out on the street. If you find your shit out on the street and you don't know who tossed it out there. Be very very concerned.
I see someone read my tweet and is gonna clean up this Pantsir for sale ebay. "For Sale" Awesome off road vehicle clean Carfax, always garaged, previous owner passed away. Minor damage, should buff out."
