youtube ^

Posted on 08/31/2022 6:34:08 PM PDT by ganeemead

Ritter notes that Russian war aims have expanded to include the idea that Russian and Russian-speaking regions of the former Ukraine will come under Russian governance and control, noting that

Ukraine has forfeited the right to govern Russians.

He notes that these areas have basically been abandoned by Kiev one way or other.

I agree, the Russians should move to Russia.
Biggest country in the world, plenty of room.
And Putin is awesome!
They should move today.

It’s nice of Russia to now paying the pensions and the salaried people in the liberated territories that Ukraine reneged on. They must be making a fortune off of those sanctions to do that.

Communism is evil, Putin is a Communist. Gorbachev was a Communist as well.

“They should move back, before Putin blows up their apartment building”

If I were Russian, due to multiple points in Putler’s history, and yes, from actual experience, it would help with sleep at night to know if my apartment building was part of some FSB Vladolf Putler 5-D chess power protein snack — 🕶👍

Gorbachev and the Marxism’s Strategic Takeover of America

https://fitzinfo.net/2021/02/15/green-cross-gorbachev-and-global-enviro-communism/amp/

~~~~~~~

“On June 4, 1992, Nancy Pelosi put a statement on the Congressional Record titled From Swords to Plowshares. The speech suggested that the Presidio – the historic Army military base in San Francisco would be an ideal location for former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev’s new Foundation – the Gorbachev Foundation, USA. “

“San Francisco was a special place to Gorbachev as it reminded him of Vladivostok. That the availability of the Presidio for a global center of environment activism and co-operation came available at precisely the right moment in history... incredible coincidence”

“...the conversion of political systems from those based on political geography (nation-state) to political economy (economic centers). Borders are meaningless when political economy dictates policy. That’s globalization.

“The Center for Economic Conversion was... a nonprofit organization which promoted the conversion of the military-based U.S. economy to a civilian-based, peace-oriented, and environmentally sustainable one. It was founded in 1975 as a [joint East German and Soviet] project of the American Friends Service Committee, but became an independent organization in 1978. The group was originally called the Mid-Peninsula Conversion Project, and changed its name to Center for Economic Conversion in 1982. CEC built coalitions with other peace and justice and environmental organizations to build the conversion movement. CEC was a leading advocate for using military base conversion as a tool to foster sustainable development.”

“... talking about why the world needs Charter Cities – economic zones with no rules [not under the sovereign state]. In other work I’ve done concerning foreign trade zones (Trojan Triangles), I have research on these that I ultimately determined were ports under international law seaports on the coast and inland ports for locations in the interior.”

“city-states and charter cities (administrative zones) are the means for not just economic conversion [away from national sovereignty] but political conversion as well.”

“The United Nations was [predominantly Soviet designed] designed to be the center of global governance. The plan was to reduce nation-states to economic regions under the UN system. In 1990 with the signing of the Charter of Paris, the European project for regionalization was complete and focus shifted to the U.S. In 1993, Mikhail Gorbachev set up shop at the Presidio in San Francisco to “help” in the conversion of our economy to a centrally planned, sustainable economy.”

“...began in 1993 (if not before) and proceeded with the assistance of legislation passed during the Clinton Administration under the heading of “reinvention of government” – reinventing our nation into oblivion.”

“...Gorbachev and the lead up to the transfer of the Presidio to a trust that rented space to not only Gorbachev but a gaggle of leftist groups that support the conversion of our country.”

“The Tides Foundation [Communist Internationale directly connected to Tides and Gorbachev], took it over and made it a “safe space” for the social engineering eco-mmunists to congregate and strategize and coordinate. Tides gave the name, The Thoreau Center for Sustainability to the collective space for the non-profits.”

SEE GRAPHIC —

“... our tax dollars supporting (tax deductions) and funding an insurgent [Soviet] organization of organizations that are working very hard to make us a communist/socialist country[?] And how is it that the FBI hasn’t found these people? If the FBI really is looking for Russian collusion, this is where they can find it.”

An excerpt:

Judge N: Putin doesn’t want to fight in the cold. What does he want to accomplish before winter arrives and can he accomplish it?

Ritter: Anyone who says that Putin doesn’t want to fight in the cold doesn’t understand the Russian mentality. The Russians threw away the calendar a long time ago. There’s no calendar involved in the Russian operation. This is a purely objective driven campaign. It will end when all objectives have been achieved. There is no calendar here and one of the reasons why is that the Russians aren’t under any pressures here that are normally attached to a calendar. They have limitless ammunition.

One of the reasons that the West wants to hurry things up is they are running out of munitions; they are running out of armaments. So they need to get this over because they cannot sustain it. Russia can sustain this thing for as long as it takes.

Judge N: How serious is the depletion of American military hardware for American potential use?

Ritter: Well, I can’t confirm this; but I am going to say something that I wouldn’t ordinarily say. I am going to throw this out there just as an anecdotal thing. There are multiple sources that indicate that some of the HIMAR systems that are being shipped to Ukraine are coming from active duty Marine Corp stocks, which means that the Marine artillery regiment that would normally be equipped with HIMARS is now operating at a deficit because they were compelled to give up some of these systems so they could be shipped to Ukraine. So right off the bat we see a degradation in Marine Corp combat power. There is some of the M triple 7 artillery pieces apparently came from U.S. Army and Marine Corp artillery units so we are stripping away artillery that normally we’d be using in combat. But, even more importantly is the depletion of our ammunition reserves. We no longer have the capacity, and I will just say this straight up, if we went to war against let’s say China, let’s say Russia...no, no, let’s say something different, let’s say Iran. Let’s say we went to war against Iran today. We would run out of ammunition. And I have to tell you as someone who’s been there, done that and got the T-shirt, running out of ammunition in combat is a bad thing.

We no longer have the stockpiles of ammunition to sustain meaningful large scale combat anywhere in the world and this is all because we have opted to strip it away and give it to Ukraine.

Jude N: Does the Secretary of Defense who is a 4 star General, Lloyd Austin, does he understand what you just said? Is he going along with this? Are these decisions being made by Tony Blinkin and his cadre of Nationalists in the State Department or are the Pentagon people making serious judgments about what we need and what we can afford to give away?

Ritter: No, the issue of weapons is purely a Pentagon problem. These are assessments that Lloyd Austin is fully aware of. I can guarantee you that point papers have been written about this. They take it up to the National Security Council where Tony Blinkin and Jay Sullivan weigh in and say that when they do their risk assessment we risk more by not helping Ukraine than we do by holding on to these weapons. That it is better to give these weapons up now than to stop Russia now than it is to hold on to them and preserve America’s ability to protect itself. I disagree with them, but I don’t think there is people walking into this blind. I think people have made horrific errors of judgment that hopefully won’t come back to haunt us because God help us if we go to war and a Marine regiment finds itself isolated and destroyed because they ran out of ammunition because it all went to Ukraine.
