Episode 3: The beginnings of Blackwater and how it forever changed US policy

Blackwater. Even though the name hasn’t been in official use for almost a decade, it remains synonymous with private military contracting.

Episode 3: The beginnings of Blackwater and how it forever changed US policy

For some, the name of this former contracting agency brings to mind the darkest days of the Iraq War. Most infamous is the 2007 massacre at Nisour Square, in which Blackwater Worldwide employees were charged with killing more than a dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians. That was just one of several cases of misconduct levied at Blackwater throughout the years.
The name became so politically inconvenient that Blackwater Worldwide was rebranded in 2009 as Xe and then again to Academi LLC. Along the way, it switched hands from founders former Navy SEAL Erik Prince and Al Clark to a venture capital firm that eventually merged it with Triple Canopy under the Constellis Group umbrella.
However, Blackwater means something else to some of the men and women deployed to Iraq during its bloodiest years. Blackwater guards protected the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and were often tasked with providing security for senior officials and diplomats. It was the death of four Blackwater contractors that sparked the first battle of Fallujah, in part to apprehend the killers.
Even though the name is relegated to history, Blackwater remains the first thought that springs to mind when most people think of private military contractors. Prince, now the leader of contracting outfit Frontier Services Group,  remains a major player in the PMC world and the successes and failures of Blackwater have helped shape U.S. foreign policy.
In this episode of Force for Hire, we’re talking to Deborah Avant, a professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver about the history of Blackwater and its impact.
We’re also welcoming back Sean McFate, a former self-described mercenary and professor of strategy at the National Defense University and Georgetown University to get his views on the private military contractors that created more headlines than any other.

Wolfgang Kubicki, the deputy chairman of the opposition Free Democrats (FDP), said Richard Grenell's repeated interference in German sovereignty should prompt Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to immediately declare Grenell persona non grata.
 "Any US diplomat who acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power must learn that our tolerance also knows its limits," said Kubicki, who is also one of five deputy speakers of Germany's Bundestag parliament.

Wolfgang Kubicki, the deputy chairman of the opposition Free Democrats (FDP), said Richard Grenell's repeated interference in German sovereignty should prompt Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to immediately declare Grenell persona non grata.
 "Any US diplomat who acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power must learn that our tolerance also knows its limits," said Kubicki, who is also one of five deputy speakers of Germany's Bundestag parliament.

Grenell had on Tuesday criticized Germany's military spending plans within NATO as insufficient, prompting Kubicki to accuse the envoy of "interfering" repeatedly in political issues of a sovereign country.
Grenell's criticism of Germany's defense spending came weeks after he demanded that Berlin halt Nord Stream 2, a gas pipeline being laid across the Baltic Sea to deliver gas from Russia to Germany, and threatened firms involved in the project with sanctions.
SPD: 'Complete diplomatic failure'
Carsten Schneider, caucus manager of the Social Democrats (SPD) within the parliament, told the German news agency DPA on Tuesday that "Mr Grenell is a complete diplomatic failure."
Grenell's behavior, said Schneider, reminded him of "a flail," a farmyard term for somebody who thrashes around wildly, adding that "Mr Grenell damages trans-Atlantic relations with his repeated clumsy provocations."

President Donald Trump's ambassador apparently did not want to recognize that Germany was making a big contribution to the alliance's international missions such as Afghanistan, said Schneider.
Show restraint, urge German conservatives
Michael Grosse-Brömer, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative alliance (CDU/CSU), urged Grenell to show restraint.
"If one keeps an overall view, many comments made are more coherent than those of the American ambassador, if he thinks he has to comment on something every week," said Grosse-Brömer.
Germany was the second-largest provider of troops in Afghanistan and was also active in Mali [within a UN mission], he added.

"Germany meets many obligations in terms of foreign assignments and international responsibility and is very committed," said Grosse-Brömer.
Greens: Kubicki's demand 'plain nonsense'
The foreign affairs spokesman for Germany's opposition Greens, Omid Nouripour, dismissed Kubicki's remarks as "plain nonsense."
Grenell was the communications interface with President Donald Trump and in the present circumstances "this was needed more than ever before," Nouripour told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitungnewspaper.
