Scott Ritter: Russians do not bluff

Ritter says to use Putin's recent state-of-the-nation speech as a guide to what to expect Russians to do in the near term

[JadeEmperor]

Scott Ritter, the twice convicted pedophile, that Scott Ritter?

[jerod]

But Putin does... He’s been bluffing for an entire year... Will Russia continue to support a midget that’s so full of sh*te, that it’s practically coming out of his ears?

[JadeEmperor]

BTW, Russia did and does bluff. Both historically and since the beginning of this war. How many red lines have been crossed? What of the ultimatum to NATO to withdraw to 1997 borders? Crickets.

All Russia is, strategically is painted rust. Its weapons systems are inferior. Its doctrine. Its training. The quality of its soldiers. It’s Logistics - there isn’t even a word “logistics” in the Russian language. Everything Russia is second or third rate. Everything else is painted rust. Likely including most of its nukes.

More Russian propaganda. Yawn.

[JadeEmperor]

I mean, no kidding, he huffed and puffed and told NATO to go back to 1997 borders.

Now his propagandists are having a temper tantrum and threatening to nuke London.

[Palio di Siena]

Rust never sleeps

I don't know about Russians, but I do know about Vulcans: Vulcans Never Bluff

[Celtic Conservative]

Russians don’t bluff? Look up “maskirovka”.

>> Rust never sleeps

Judging by the fact that the current Russian military lost the knowledge how to do some of the things the erstwhile Red Army was capable of, its very true.

[JadeEmperor]

How does it feel to be the laughing stock of Free Republic?

I gotta give it to you, you are persistent.

Just like wagners storming the same machine gun nest until the gunner runs out of ammo.

I wouldn't say he's any worse then the NY Slimes and other western propaganda networks. It would be nice to get facts about whats going on. Instead we get bullshit from both sides. I don't agree with Joke Biden and his corrupt friends when it comes to Ukraine. I think the war was avoidable if Biden didn't keep pushing for it. You can disagree but nato wanted this proxy war. Now the Ukrainians and Russians are dying by the thousands. Maybe Boris Johnson should bring his fat ass to Ukraine to help fight the war he helped start by scuttling the peace deal they made. What do we get out of this war in the end? What does Ukraine have to do with America? We have our own problems with this decrepit old douchebag destroying our country. I care about America's borders a lot more then Ukraines. We are being invaded too.

Tell that to the US and Europe who have called Putin's bluff every time since the war began.

Since Kharkiv and Kherson, Russian Shill Inc. (™) has promised the famed "Russian Winter Offensive" (™). Except they keep pushing the date back, November, December, early 2023, January, February, now sometime in summer. What happened was there was a mild winter, that did not freeze Europe into submission, and did not freeze the ground hard. After that, "mud season", распу́тица/Rasputitsa in Russian, or бездоріжжя,/bezdorizhzhia in Ukrainian.Its why after Kherson the conflict slowed, heavy vehicles can't move around too well.

The Winter Offensive may have happened around Vuhledar or Bakhmut and no one noticed, including the Russians. That is really embarrassing for all those siding with Russia, staking their new found fame on Russia winning. For the past few weeks, Ritter has been trying to talk his way out of what he has said for the past year. So he just finds new talking points and uses his main trick. Turn everything into a immediate, one sided, zero sum game won or lost right now that leaves Ukraine no way out.

For the past year Ukraine has found ways out of every dire prediction Ritter has made. Real life is not a one way street. Russia has its own supply problems, or Prigozhin would not publicly talk about Wagner's artillery ammunition shortages.

pedophile says what?

[conejo99]

“Russians do not bluff”?
Why would anyone make such an obviously false statement?
Is Mr. Ritter stupid? I suppose that he is pushing a political agenda, but any argument built around a clear falsehood will not advance his position.

[Cronos]

Russians DO bluff

Look at the Potemkin villages

And Markirova

And Scott is contradicting himself - when he claimed that the attack on Kyiv in Feb 2022 was a bluff/feint

[Blueflag]

Precisely.

[Cronos]

The thing is that the Russians didn’t have to be this way. 22 years of Putin’s dictatorship has chased away the smart Russians and left behind corrupt chaos.
