I never had that problem.
Is this something you worry about excessively in your personal life?
Redouble your efforts, then.

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter is touring Russian cities and claiming Ukraine will lose the war. Why do he and other disgraced Americans insist on defending Putin's rhetoric?
Russian propaganda outlets have loved quoting Americans they believe are arguing in Moscow's favour ever since the 2014 invasion of Ukraine, and even more so since the full-scale attack launched in February last year.
While the concept of Western intellectuals kowtowing to Soviet leadership – and downplaying their crimes – was relatively common during the Cold War, it has gained new momentum since Russian President Vladimir Putin made clear his plans to either break up or occupy the entirety of Ukraine.
Ritter is a convicted sex offender, having been caught exposing himself to minors online on several occasions. He served a year and a half in prison. Despite this, he claims he was being targeted by the US administration for his opposition to the war in Iraq.

I did not watch the minefield one. And I’m not going to.
There is a lot of dehumanization on both sides on Twitter. Esp on the Ukrainian side, but some of the Russian as well. I don’t want to be part of that.
I am cheering on the Russians, and I make no secret of it, but I have more and more respect for the Ukrainians, even as they are slaughtered.
I’m simply amazed that they will still get into their vehicles and attack, after everything that has happened.
They deserved better leadership, and to be directed to attack more deserving foes.
Eventually the Chechens and Putin patched things up. Maybe some day with the Ukrainians as well.
I would love to see Wager, Azov, and the Chechens unleashed on the cowardly FAGGOTs of Western Europe and Blue America.
Actually, he didn’t expose himself to minors online. He apparently exposed himself to cops/FBI posting on minors in a sting. He said he thought they were an adult. The officials said he knew it was a minor. It’s just that the ‘officials’ also say things about Trump and January 6 that make me wonder if Ritter was set up.
So - we don’t have choices in this arena. Sadly Ritter is well informed and has good resources and since he’s already got the ‘disgraced label’ he doesn’t seem to be afraid to anger the Biden Regime by saying the truth.
Disgraced people are not the only ones saying what Ritter is saying. Colonel MacGregor is a decorated combat veteran with a PhD in International Relations whom Trump trusted (appointed). He’s been saying it too.
Frankly, Zelensky and his lead general already said it. Months ago Zelensky said online that the Ukraine could not win without aircraft (he specified which kind). He’s never been given that.
In an interview in the Economist, his head of the military (I forget his name just now) said that he knew what he needed to win (armaments) and he also knew he could not get them.
Now Biden is saying we’re running out of shells and that’s why we are giving the Ukraine cluster shells. Russia is manufacturing sufficient shells and has been doing so throughout the last 6 months or so. Russia has the planes that Zelensky wishes he had.
And the NATO meeting made clear that their offer of protection was deemed best - why is that? Because they know Zelensky, their puppet, can’t win.
So weird Ritter is joined by Col MacGregor (ret.), Zelensky, his lead general, Biden, and NATO in the task of telling the public they’ve been lied to all this time - $100+ Billion American Tax Payer dollars that we know of (black ops doesn’t have to tell us) have been wasted on this pointless posturing. Ukraine can’t win. Oh and Biden promised Z he’d keep bleeding US dry of dollars and weapons ‘as long as it takes’. Why, because the Ukraine is a Deep State resource they aren’t willing to lose.
Hmm.
There were a bunch of 19th century Spanish interventions in Latin America, In none of them was the Monroe doctrine (1823) effectual.
This one was, probably, the first - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_attempts_to_reconquer_Mexico
6. Gov. So did Hitler which is why I don’t have any family members left from WW2 Europe.
Pedants are boring.
Which way to the Lonely Mountain?
People who don’t do their homework are lazy. And often embarrassingly wrong.
That's gonna leave a mark...
I never had that problem.

I dislike the slaughter of young men.
There is no doubt that the soldiers of both sides are brave - but this is senseless.
Why does Ukraine agit prop editorialize headlines ?
As long as Biden and Soros are making money off the slaughter The Biden Worshipers will tell you that it is not senseless.
For someone who's been "right all along", his predictions of Russia's victory and Ukraine's defeat have been wrong just like Douglas MacGregor's and the rest.
Certain Europeans didn’t want it. For example Hitler and Mussolini.
That's an excellent question.
That's an excellent question.
For the first time, and probably the last, I must agree with you. Ritter is a dirtbag and a pedo. I wouldn’t post anything he has to say.
Congratulations, you have just described the United States.
Because their loyalty for Youcrayne is stronger than their loyalty to the US.
