Scott Ritter Part 2

In the video above he rants for an hour, persuasively making the following points: 1.Russia is winning 2.Russia is not at war with Ukraine as it is only a Special Military Operation. He points out in real war (as in Iraq) you immediately take out all communication, transportation, and critical industrial infrastructure. Russia is purposely going in soft so as to minimize harm to Ukrainian citizens. 3.Bucha atrocities were committed by Ukrainian soldiers who killed Russian sympathizers. 4.The attacks on Odessa and Kiev were not unsuccessful- they were never the true targets, but rather attempts to pin down Ukrainian forces so that they couldn’t reinforce the Donbas.

———————————————————

The current situation today is that the Ukrainian forces in Mariopal rejected the compassionate and generous Russian offer for them to surrender. The Russians are currently in the process of killing thousands of pinned down Ukrainian soldiers who have little to no food, water, fuel and ammunition. Many American and foreign mercenaries are losing their lives right now.

Interesting take.

There is so much disinformation and propaganda that it’s really difficult to know what’s going on. I hate all the atrocities and bloodshed, but I am not on the saint Zelenskyy train. Neither am I unaware of the real Putin.

Ex-UN inspector gets prison in Pa. sex case
Oct. 26, 2011, 1:37 PM EDT / Source: The Associated Press
By MICHAEL RUBINKAM

Former United Nations weapons inspector convicted in an online sex sting has been sentenced to up to 5 1/2 years behind bars.

Scott Ritter, 50, of Delmar, N.Y., exchanged explicit messages with a detective posing as a 15-year-old girl, then performed a sex act on himself in front of a webcam.

He testified in his own defense that he believed the person he met in a Yahoo chat room in 2009 was an adult acting out her own fantasy.

But a northeastern Pennsylvania jury convicted Ritter in April. On Wednesday, a Monroe County judge sentenced him to 18 months to 66 months in state prison.

Ritter was taken into custody immediately.

Ritter was one of the U.N.’s chief weapons inspectors in Iraq from 1991 to 1998.

Ritter had asked for a new trial Wednesday, basing his request on an appeals court ruling in New York that records from two previous incidents in that state in 2001 should not have been unsealed and given to prosecutors in Pennsylvania to be used at his trial. Defense attorney Gary Kohlman argued the New York ruling entitled Ritter to a new trial because prosecutors based much of their strategy on the argument that Ritter had a history of illicit online sex.

Monroe County Judge Jennifer Sibum rejected the defense request for a new trial, saying Kohlman could bring up the New York case on appeal, and ordered Ritter’s sentencing hearing to begin.

Paula Brust, a member of the Pennsylvania’s Sexual Offenders Assessment Board, testified for the prosecution that based on Ritter’s history, he is at risk to offend again.

“He is not able to manage his offending in the community despite sex offender treatment,” she said.

Kohlman indicated he plans to call his own expert who will testify that Ritter is doing well in treatment and presents a low risk of re-offending.

Ritter was one of the U.N.’s chief weapons inspectors in Iraq from 1991 to 1998. He resigned after accusing the United States and the U.N. of failing to get tough with Saddam Hussein. Later, he said Iraq had destroyed its weapons of mass destruction, and he became a vocal critic of the U.S. invasion.

In 2001, Ritter twice arranged to meet people who claimed online to be underage girls but who turned out to be undercover police in Colonie, N.Y. The charges were eventually dismissed and the case was sealed, but Pennsylvania prosecutors obtained the records and used them to try to show Ritter has a predilection for underage girls.

Ritter told jurors he knew he was chatting with undercover police and set up the meetings so he would be arrested. Kohlman has said Ritter used sexually explicit chats on the Internet as a way to handle his depression over being called unpatriotic for his criticism of American policy on Iraq.

(In 2001 the Colonie Police arrested Ritter at a Burger King about 3 miles from where I live, it was then a big story around here. Dismissed by MSM because he had spoke out against Bush and the WMD threat.)

General Comment, I’ve heard enough about “I don’t trust our media”, well, in comparison, there is no freedom of the press in Russia, so where are Ritter’s credible sources? Why buy what he has?

And here, if one doesn’t like ABC and so on, we do have plenty of alternative sources, Daily Wire, Breitbart, Daily Caller, PJ Media, BizPacReview, Townhall, really a long list.

So, yeah, I don’t trust their media but their media is a total joke for ferreting out the news.

"In the video above he rants for an hour, persuasively [UNPERSUASIVELY] making the following points:" "1.Russia is winning" (requires a new definition of "winning". "2.Russia is not at war with Ukraine as it is only a Special Military Operation." ROFWL!!!!! "He points out in real war (as in Iraq) you immediately take out all communication, transportation, and critical industrial infrastructure." ROFWL times two. Not true at all, it depends on your objectives. "Russia is purposely going in soft so as to minimize harm to Ukrainian citizens." TOTAL B.S. as civilians - their homes and apartment complexes have been the majority of the targets Russia has struck, making some places, like Mariupol, look like wastelands. "3.Bucha atrocities were committed by Ukrainian soldiers who killed Russian sympathizers." ROFWL!!! Times three. Ritter must now be fully in the employ of Putin. "4.The attacks on Odessa and Kiev were not unsuccessful- they were never the true targets, but rather attempts to pin down Ukrainian forces so that they couldn’t reinforce the Donbas." Didn't work.

Ritter is one of the go-to sources on this war if one wants to cut through all the propaganda out there.
