He was the person who posted the interview with Scott Ritter that covered how and why the Russian will win in Ukraine.

Thanks, SB, for posting this link to “Scott Ritter and the Battle of the Donbas.”

This is the best info I have seen explaining the military situation of Ukraine, as well as a lot of the politics.

In brief: Ritter says that the total objective of Russia is to “Liberate the Donbas region.”

Ukraine had about 600,000 troops available to defend, and Russia attacked with 200,000.

So Russia needed to “Shape the battlefield.”

This entailed attacking Kiev in the West, drawing the Ukraine military there, and then demolishing their means of transportation back for the eventual battle in the East (i.e., Donbas).

I’m over-simplifying, of course. But this makes a great deal of sense.

Ritter claims that the 60,000 Ukraine forces in Donbas have “Gone gopher”, i.e., they have dug in with supplies. Hence they are no longer actually mobile enough to repel the Russian forces out of Donbas ... but may be sticky to eliminate.

Ritter thinks Russia will win for sure, and that the U.S./NATO options are severely limited.

He also thinks there may be an eventual “Peacekeeping” NATO force allowed into Western Ukraine, which might satisfy some of Putin’s demands for de-Nazification.

I highly recommend watching the entire interview for anyone who has about 81 minutes to spare.

Thanks for the links.

Lira’s videos are very important in blowing a huge hole through the Ukrainian/biden State Department propaganda machine.

His death is a great loss to lovers of truth and freedom everywhere.

May he rest in peace, and may his death be avenged.
