this is the work of investigators that was presented to the united nations security council about erik prince the man who has not been gaited through the shadowy well the military contracting has been involved in many parts of the world and it says the basically this is someone who was sending weapons messenger is providing significant assistance to a warlord general who was trying to end them undermine an internationally recognized government what repercussions are we likely to see here after this particular report well now that the administration in the united states has changed there may be some when trump was you know office or as chris was a a an advisor to answer order our guard and in turn or receive support congress encourage him and so on by car with biden in office and a more log returning to the united states government the situation may change but then. a certain person or is exists among a shadow world where our. governments choose more. obligation to us. how much are we likely to see a consensus among members of the united nations security council that could lead to erik

arms embargo does however expose erik prince to possible u.s. u.n. sanctions as you were saying but but this is a man who's very well connected so is he likely then to be personally held accountable and punished do you think. he's not going to be punished but he's not he's not not going to be punished because of his connections so turkey. and the emirates and russia have violated the sanctions by bringing in arm amends by deploying their own armies as well as mercenaries and they face no sanction so it would be quite hypocritical if erik prince was sanctioned for doing exactly the same behavior that major nation states do you might say is a lower hanging target because he's not a sovereign state but then again as you pointed out prosecuting him would be a distraction and would cause rancor among the trump base because erik prince and betsy device and his allies are so well connected and really what's fascinating is that the report that al-jazeera has private access to as well as the new york times doesn't mention jarrett questioner and this is really
