“ 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.

russian invasion of Ukraine
- 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, “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, “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, “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.

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

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
