A person of his stature would NOT be in Russia talking to leaders without Administration approval (or else he could be jailed), so it’s good to see some dialogue starting to take place!

I see that you are still posting about anything but the Ukrainian “successes” at the front.

You lost the Battle of the Black Sea to a country without a navy.

Off course a convicted pedophile would be the perfect person for this administration to send to Moscow for some “back channel” communication.

Thanks to the Neocons, the number of significant people that Russia actually TRUSTS in the West is very limited, which is why no one in any position of power has the ability to be taken seriously by Russia...given that virtually EVERY ONE of them has flat-out lied to Russia in the past.

I doubt that anyone in the Biden administration approved of Ritter addressing Kadryov’s army en masse. Suspect he’s there on some speaking gig as part of a conference, as a alt-media reporter, fact finder, or something. His wife is Georgian so he is not unfamiliar with travel to that part of the world.

He’s so dead wrong on Israel and Gaza that I lost interest in reading his articles - though his military training and knowledge about the Russian military gave his analysis far more credibility than the shills promoting the Biden-Nuland policy agenda in Ukraine

Yea, that part is painful to listen to. He should have stayed in his lane, as he sure as heck understands Russia better than the Hormone-Driven bunch pushing WW3 (and their cheerleaders here).

Gosh, Scott Ritter still exists? Doesn’t anyone ever just go away?

And the Russians have an impeccable reputation for honesty in international relations.

Remind me again, how many tons of banned biological and chemical weapons did we find after the Soviet Union fell?

Of course you’ll say that was the Soviets, not Russians which is a distinction without a shred of difference.

And Russia has flat out lied throughout its history to the present day. Welcome to the real world.

Russia invented the Potemkin Village, Fake News and gaslighting. Yet still the Kremlin’s delusional and useful fools eat up every bit of nonsensical pablum spoon fed to them by Moscow.

Most of Epstein’s ‘clients’ still have ‘stature’.

Certainly a BETTER reputation than the West, after the Cold War ended. For example, they told the Neocons to stay out of Ukraine, or they’d regret it...and that is the case now.

I guess you’re unfamiliar with the people in American government...but I’m not .
