DH—The video features a detailed discussion hosted by Danny Haiphong with Scott Ritter, a former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector, analyzing the ongoing war involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. Ritter critiques the U.S. and Israeli military strategy, highlighting the failure of their initial surprise attack aimed at regime change in Iran, which instead strengthened Iranian resolve and leadership.

He explains the U.S.-Israel missile defense systems’ inefficiencies and contrasts them with Iran’s superior, well-prepared missile strategy. Ritter condemns the U.S. government and media for misinformation, propaganda, and poor war planning, emphasizing the rising economic costs, especially in energy prices due to the conflict’s impact on oil supply in the Middle East. The interview also delves into the moral and legal breaches committed during the war, including the double-tap attack on a school killing many children, and the dismantling of U.S. military protocols designed to prevent civilian casualties.

LJ—Starting in 2015 and continuing through 2020, the US produced between 100 — 300 a year. Let’s use the higher figure… That is 1,800 PAC-3 MSE. In the succeeding four year period, the US produced an estimated 2,200 PAC-3 MSEs (i.e., 500+ per year). In 2025 the US boosted production to 620. Total PAC-3 MSEs produced since 2015 is 4,620.

When the PAC-3 MSE is employed against an incoming threat, a minimum of two are fired. Keep that figure in mind. So how many have we sent Ukraine? According to open source documents, including DOD/DOW budget figures, the the US has transferred 847 PAC-3 MSE missiles to Ukraine. Assuming that the US and Israel have NOT fired any PAC-3 MSE missiles in 2025 and 2026, the US only has 3,773 in its inventory. We know that is ridiculous, but play along with me.

LARRY JOHNSON—In this episode, Larry Johnson speaks with General Buzhinsky and Prof. Dmitry Suslov about the internal power struggle shaping U.S. policy toward Russia. The conversation looks at how competing factions inside Washington influence decisions on Ukraine, why escalation and negotiations coexist, and what these contradictions mean for the future of U.S.–Russia relations — and the possibility of a deal.

LARRY JOHNSON/ DANIEL DAVIS The video discussion centers on escalating tensions involving the United States, Iran, Russia, China, and Ukraine, highlighting diplomatic, military, and geopolitical dynamics. It critiques U.S. foreign policy rhetoric and actions under former President Trump and explores potential consequences of military strikes, particularly against Iran, while assessing the broader global impact on negotiations with major powers and the risk of wider conflict.

LARRY C JOHNSON—On January 6, Russia launched three major missile strikes against US-owned facilities in Ukraine. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian ballistic missiles decimated  the Oleina oil extraction plant, which is owned by the American Bunge company from  Saint Louis. Its official name is the Dnipropetrovsk Oil Extraction Plant, located in Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk), central Ukraine. It is a major sunflower seed processing facility specializing in crushing, refining, and bottling sunflower oil.
