Ritter's rant on the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran conflicts
Scott Ritter is a one-of-a-kind former Marine and UN weapons inspector. He doesn't pull punches during interviews and he provides a refreshingly raw analysis on the ongoing conflicts from the perspective of a war fighter. Ritter's position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict is simple; Russia will obviously win the war and it will end on Russia's terms, period, and, short of nuclear weapons being deployed, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever that Europe/NATO can do that will alter that outcome.
Most of the people i follow, almost all of whom are former CIA and U.S. military, as well as a few geopolitical analysts, such as Pepe Escobar, and others, are all generally on board with Ritter's position, except for a very small minority which includes Gilbert Doctorow. Doctorow essentially thinks that Putin is weak and the Russian people are suffering and that Russia must quickly escalate its war effort in Ukraine before the EU builds more weapon factories ... with the money and resources they don't seem to have. I think Doctorow is is off his rocker and so does Ritter who again attacks his position rather mercilessly during the course of this very interesting interview.
