Are you in favor of another protracted foreign war like Iraq and Afghanistan? Are you so obtuse that you can’t see we’re being drawn into a possible WWIII scenario with Russia?
If you disagree with Scott Ritter and other alternative news sources like him, then scroll past. If you agree with everything the mainstream media is shoving down our throats—even after 6 years of daily attacks on Trump and 2 years of covid hysteria—then don’t bother doing your own research about what’s happening in Ukraine. You’re way past trying to save.
But don’t complain when it’s your children and grandchildren being sent to fight in another foreign land!
Many of us here are hoping to avert any further escalation so that doesn’t happen and to stop the financial hemorrhaging we’re all suffering from as a result of our involvement. And for our trouble, we get called all sorts of inflammatory names by other Freepers. It’s bizarre!
Did you follow William Rivers Pitt and Scott Ritter in the Ira war? Do you know their history, their criminal background, and that they were as anti-Republican extremists as possible?
And just to answer it, they were both disgraced drunks and major criminals from DU back then.
This is what Russian supporters want to go with now?
“Why are you so intent on shutting down a guy who was well connected in the past to our intelligence community and might have a different view about the situation than the current neocons running our country?”
Because he has bad judgment.
I’ll allow him the lapse of judgment in 2001 on his first arrest for soliciting sex from a minor...actually, no I won’t.
In any case he was caught a SECOND time doing the exact same thing and that tells me he has poor judgment. He can’t control his impulses and he does not learn from his mistakes.
That is not someone who I will depend upon for sound analysis of issues of national security.
Now it’s my turn to ask why are you and your fellow Russia/Putin supporters so intent on promoting someone who has demonstrably poor judgment and is also very likely a child molester? Don’t you have anyone else you can turn to for decent analysis?
Is this all you have is a discredited child molester to promote your point of view? And at this point you and your friends all know how infamous Ritter is and you know to expect that other FReepers are going to call you out for referring to him so why keep doing this?
Find someone else. I mean, there is someone else who supports Russia and Putin, right?
