What I consider foolish is to totally disregard Ritter’s message because you say he is a convicted felon (ala Trump?). He is an armaments EXPERT, former UN Inspector. He discusses what we have and what Russia has. He tells us the Western elites are underestimating Russian’s power and patience, while they “think” “we” can win even a nuclear war with them, China and even Iran (all at once!). Clearly Biden, Blinken, Austin, Sullivan, Nuland and are ALL morons and blind neocons and amateurs. They are also liars.
The Ritter criminal record you raise is irrelevant, immaterial. Everyone interviewed by Judge Napolitano agrees with Ritter: Col Douglas MacGregor, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, John Miersheimer, on and on.
They seized his passport for some still unknown reason.

Despite Ritter’s “ criminal record”, he was issued a U.S. passport. This smacks of a political hit job, probably by the IC and/or State Department. The reason for this action must be given. Ritter should demand that it be provided.
I don’t dispute Russia. Scott Ritter is scum. He doesn’t tell me anything I don’t already know.
I don’t give a flip about Ukraine either.
