To boot, mean old Russia might well set the “great reset” back a ways. Who knows?

War isn’t over yet.

Way too early to call a winner.

“demonstrated Russian military prowess” seems to be a bit of an overstatement.

Here is an Atlantic article about Ritter. Not very complementary, and it is from the Left...

At one point during the trial, the jury watched a graphic video recording of a nude Ritter performing a sexual act captured on his computer web camera for young “Emily.”

I suspect, when the dust settles, it’ll indeed be viewed this way.

Ritter knows whereof he speaks re: false claims to promote going to war having been in the thick of the false claims to ramp up support for the Iraq invasion. We’ve seen this movie before.

This pervert has more than a few truths to say but this is not one of them. Like Linda he seems to have a need to be noticed. They’re out there. Check the sports media. We really don’t know what’s happening. Just look at all the repeat footage of the war. So Ritter knows? Linda made his name over Whitewater. This guy in WMD. Gotta keep the embers burning I guess.

This war will go down in history as a strategic Russian victory.
***Not so far, but there’s still plenty of strategic room for Russia to maneuver.

Russia will have halted NATO expansion,
***That’s bullsnot 🐂💩. NATO is growing because countries WANT to join, not because there’s some overweening strategic aim against Russia.

destroyed a dangerous den of Nazi ideology in Ukraine,
***Wow, this guy really is buying into the Russian propaganda.

redefined European security by undermining NATO,
***Yeah, he got that right. But the way he is redefining security is the way he violated the Budapest Agreement. The Ukes HONORED it, relinquished their nukes; the Rukes VIOLATED it, invading twice; and the US is as busy as a 1 armed paperhanger trying to find ways to ABROGATE it because they’re so afraid of pootypoot’s threats.

and demonstrated Russian military prowess, an important deterrent.
***Well. That’s ONE way of looking at it. Some of us have tried very hard to look at both sides of the military situation, wading through the propoganda, starting at the point where both sides agree. For instance, these guys at Oryx seem to be after facts on both sides, not just on this conflict but others as well.

Ritter is an ossified turd, looking for some attention as he becomes yesterday’s news.

Half right, all wrong. Still spewing agitprop.

Boring.

“demonstrated Russian military prowess” seems to be a bit of an overstatement.

Definitely not an accurate statement; something like "demonstrated a willingness and ability to use military force" (like Mussolini ;>) might have been a lot closer to the truth...
