Scott Ritter

American vatnik and warmonger:

“ Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022 was not an unprovoked act of aggression, but rather a legitimate exercise of its right, together with the newly independent republics of Lugansk and Donetsk, of preemptive collective self-defense in the face of the imminent threat of aggression by Ukraine’s newly trained army which was, by design, little more than a NATO proxy.

— warmonger Scott Ritter, “90 Seconds to Midnight?”, January 24, 2023

“ I couldn’t think of a better way to spend February 23…the video speaks for itself.

— warmonger Scott Ritter, celebrating one year of the russian invasion of Ukraine, February 24, 2023

russian invasion of Ukraine

• Depressed by Russia’s military failures, Kremlin-controlled state TV beamed in Scott Ritter to tell them how great the Russian military is doing and how much Americans respect Russia.

• “Russia’s ‘plan to invade Ukraine’ exists only in the US and NATO imagination, December 5, 2021”

• Scott Ritter, “For those who have bought into the fiction of a noble Ukrainian resistance, you do not understand modern war. The Ukrainian Military will be annihilated in short order; any Ukrainian militia dumb enough to try to pull a trigger will not live to see another day. This is reality.”, February 17, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “Ukraine is getting schooled in the art of Urban warfare. Russia is advancing inside Kiev, a city of 3 million. It took the US a week to take Fallujah, a city of 200,000. We started with the city surrounded and our logistics in place. Russia had to fight through layered defenses.”, February 26, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “All of the cable news military “experts”are just now waking up to the fact that Russia’s “failed” invasion is on the cusp of encircling the main Ukrainian military concentration in the east, and knocking at Kiev’s door. CIA propaganda can only be sustained for so long.”, March 1, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “Lvov is the heart of this cancer. There cannot be de-Nazification without Russia taking that city and purging this poison. Just a heads up for those who think this ends when Kiev falls.”, March 4, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “@CNN…next time you bring on one of your paid military “talent”, kindly have the@ explain how this doesn’t represent one of the most stunning military victories in modern history on the part of the Russian Army? And I’d ask the same of the so-called “miltwitter” community.”, March 8, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “I’ve always viewed the Kiev operation as a means of fixing significant Ukrainian forces in place, and siphoning off reserves/reinforcements that could otherwise be sent east/south. Taking a city of 3-plus million was never in the cards.”, March 25 2022

• Scott Ritter, “I’ve never seen such a level of self-delusion as what I’m witnessing on CNN this morning. They think Ukraine is winning the war. How are they going to spin Zelensky’s inevitable surrender, which is going to happen sooner rather than later?”, March 26, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “This war will go down in history as a strategic Russian victory. Russia will have halted NATO expansion, destroyed a dangerous den of Nazi ideology in Ukraine, redefined European security by undermining NATO, and demonstrated Russian military prowess, an important deterrent.”, March 27, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “Russia, in contrast, has fought a war against domestic terrorism (Chechnya), foreign aggression (Georgia), in response to a CIA-backed coup (Ukraine) and at the invitation of a nation threatened by foreign jihadists (Syria). Russia won these because it was on the side of right.”, February 23, 2022

They won’t occupy the West. They will de-Nazify it. Lvov is the den of Nazi ideology. 2 Mar 2022

The biggest threat to world peace right now is western Ukraine and the neo-Nazi cancer that resides in Lvov. NATO has encouraged its growth, knowing it would never admit a nation so infected. Proof? Create a new independent western Ukraine. Europe will never embrace it. 27 Feb 2022 https://twitter.com/RealScottRitter/status/1497991600252899331

Scott Ritter

1/2 For those who have portrayed the past six days as a glorious Ukrainian military victory, the numbers don’t lie. Russia says it’s killing Ukrainian troops at a rate of 6 to 1; Russia has announced some 500 deaths. This means Ukraine has lost some 3,000 killed.

2/2 Normal battlefield victories are won in the margins; 1.2 to 1 casualty rates, etc.

6 to 1 is a route. And it’s only going to get worse for Ukraine. Expect breakouts, encirclement, and mass surrender.

Propaganda moves air; bullets on bodies wins wars.

We shall see. It will get much worse for them…much worse. Tragic (except for Azov dudes…no mercy). 3 Mar 2022 https://twitter.com/RealScottRitter/status/1499193782201462793

• Scott Ritter, “So your telling me this war ends with Ukraine’s unconditional surrender, right? I thought so, just surprised to see you acknowledge that in such a cogent fashion.”, October 29, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “I don’t claim to be anti-war; never did. There are rabid dogs out there, and we need Atticus Finch’s to shoot them. I do, however, object to the senseless shooting of healthy dogs. Ukraine is a rabid dog. Russia is Atticus Finch. Thus ends my lesson.”, February 4, 2023, replying to: “Scott how do you claim to be anti-war? You’re position is that Russia was justified in invading Ukraine and that Ukraine should surrender and give up its territory. How is that an anti-war position?”

• INTERVIEW: For UKRAINE continued resistance is futile. They should sue for peace now, February 6, 2023

https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/1660074364602073089 Meanwhile in Russia: state TV asked Scott Ritter how to defeat America and Ukraine. He eagerly shared his insights, complained about girls in white skirts who didn’t want to be photographed with him in Red Square and begged for Russia to forgive America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4M8sJZraaY

Syria

• Scott Ritter, “Epistle to the Galatians 6:7–“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.””, August 17, 2019, replying to: “Some terrible images coming out of Russian/Syrian airstrikes in Idlib today. A headless child. A breathing, bleeding fetus. A boy shredded from the chest down. They’re too awful to post. But it doesn’t stop.”

• Scott Ritter, “Someone needs to educate ⁦Angelina Jolie that she is advocating on behalf of an al Qaeda affiliate, people who celebrate the destruction of the Twin Towers and murder of thousands. Killing rabid dogs isn’t a pleasant task, but it is necessary.”, February 22, 2020 (Angelina Jolie: The Cost of Inaction in Syria is Too High)

• Scott Ritter, “Assad is the most progressive choice available to the Syrian people today. The fact that you don’t see this is an indictment of your lack of intellectual curiosity and/or your covert embrace of either American-imposed hegemony or the tyranny of Islamic extremism. Prove me wrong.”, July 5, 2021

• Scott Ritter, “Nearly every negative thing written about the Russian military intervention in Syria has been demonstrably proven wrong. Keep this in mind when reading about atrocities committed in Ukraine, written by the same people who got the Syria story so wrong. Western journalism is dead.”, 7 March 7, 2022

• Scott Ritter, “I was recently notified that I had been selected as a recipient of the Serena Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity. Past recipients of the award include Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal and Julian Assange. I’m in solid company!”, January 11, 2023

On two separate occasions in 2001, Ritter met what appeared to be two girls, one age 14 and the other age 16, in adult chat rooms and traveled to different locations to meet the girls, who both turned out to be undercover police.

Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter The Ukrainian National Police committed numerous crimes against humanity in Bucha. Biden, in seeking to shift blame for the Bucha murders onto Russia, is guilty of aiding and abetting these crimes.
