Ritter: There are no more Ukrainian breakthroughs, just dead Ukrainians, dead poles, dead mercenaries.
Judge: Let me stop you, are there Polish troops on the ground in Ukraine fighting with the Ukrainians against the Russians?
Ritter: Tens of thousands and thousands have died. The Poles aren't there as Polish troops. They are there...in the United States we call it "sheep dipped." They basically take off their Polish uniform....they get "dipped" into Ukrainian uniforms and then they go forward. But, they fight as Polish units. I interviewed a senior Russian commander, actually a Chechen and he said, "Look...(he's in the Lugansk oblast) we listen to the chatter all the time, the radio traffic. He says where we used to hear Ukrainian voices all we hear now are French, English and Polish. All we hear, Polish, Polish. And the dead bodies are just piling up. Poles have acknowledged so far over a thousand bodies have been returned to Poland. It's becoming a problem because the Polish people are starting to ask questions....why so many dead Poles...are we at war? Imagine America engaged in a conflict where we weren't being honest with the American people and a thousand bodies came home.
Judge: What other country has troops on the ground wearing Ukrainian uniforms besides Poland?
Ritter: Romania, there's a lot of Romanian troops, Polish troops and both those are part of official policies meaning that The Romanian government and the Polish government have an official policy where active duty soldiers can be sheep dipped and turned into Ukrainian soldiers on a volunteer basis. But then we have hundreds, if not thousands of French, British, Canadian, American citizens, people with prior military experience who are in Ukraine on U.S. government funded contracts. They are private military contractors and their money is coming from the U.S. government. And I just...we're at war....we are at war.

Interesting interview....he evaluates both the current U.S. and Russian militaries. Particularly interesting was his opinion as to why Poland is now in the war. He sees it as their positioning themselves for the takeover of territory in Western Ukraine that originally belonged to Poland. It was enlightening.
You misspelled Bolshevik Soviet Union.
Dr Jordan B Peterson
Putin appeals to his citizens to reject Western “progressive liberalism” not least because it echoes Bolshevism:

If you disagree, take it up with Dr. Peterson.
And it’s ironic you used a Bolshevist whataboutism tactic. Are you one of those western liberals spoken of in that speech? 🙂
Didn’t we all love to hate Scott Ritter a few decades ago?
Which really means Putin had a long term plan to expand Russia, and he took the next step.
The idea that Putin was "provoked" into invading Ukraine is ridiculous.
You spend a lot of effort trying to claim that Russia is unrelated to the Soviet Union. Why is that?
Well you’ve exceeded my patience for idiots, go ahead and believe what you want, I don’t care.
I think North Korea reduced that to 500 men and they are just labor battalions. I’m waiting for the 500,000 Chinese army to show up for Human wave attacks on Ukraine trenches. Machine guns will keep them back until you run out of bullets.
The man has serious personal/moral problems.
He comments seeming to support Russia.
Doesn’t mean he’s right or wrong.
You’ve got to think and compare these days.
You asked: So why did Putin invade Ukraine?
A: To steal the natural-gas deposits under Eastern Ukraine. now that the gas available from European Russia has “peaked”.
qv: Yukovsky shale oil field in Donbas/Luhansk
That sounds like a more rational motivation than the Russian media stories about “Nazis” and “Satanists”.
Yes, right until Russia invaded Ukraine.
Actually Ukraine had signed exploration contracts in 2012 with several US major oil companies. There were also promises for oil and gas in the seas around Crimea. So Putin quickly organized his assault on Crimea in 2014 as well as the “little green men” mercenary attacks in eastern Ukraine, and rushed to finish the Kerch Bridge in 2019. Needless to say the oil companies bowed out.
Kacaps must be really desperate if they tell their pedophiles to spread that nonsense.
“If you are that interested feel free to google that information yoursel...”
The perennial refrain of someone who simply can’t produce evidence to back their assertions.
Whelp I can only allot so much time and energy to dealing with a fool before sending them on their way. You’ve unfortunately reached that limit.
The feeling is mutual.
But that whole statement and this whole article is bullsh*t, there are no Polish soldiers fighting in Ukraine in Polish uniforms or in Ukrainian uniforms. There might be a few mercenaries much like Blackwater guys but no soldiers. the “journalist” does not understand how the situation on the border or in NATO army look like. Probably one of those guys that never been to the service but believe they know how it looks like.
