Quote: “Why does Ritter root for Putin?”
Scott Ritter has a long history of pimping for tyrants. Saddam was a client. He also has some history of other things.
Met the guy once, he is freaking creepy.

When you don't support the military industries narrative to attack a country you get demonized, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Ukraine. A horrible drain on the US citizens but a huge hogs ass for the weapons industry.
These wars were not necessary, lies used to start them, lies used to keep corrupt officials in office.
FBI, CIA creeps have been known to play this sex offender crap, good ol Andrew Macabe was very good at this.
You know, we thought Sadam was the only thing standing between the Iraqi citizens yearning for freedom and liberal western democracy. Turned out he was keeping a lid on a Pandora's box of ills. Sadam was a brutal thug, but what has followed is not a whole lot better. And a lot of people died for it.
