ANDREI MARTYANOV—American operational experience in any war the US fought since Vietnam is absolutely worthless in application to real war in the so-called “peer-to-peer” environment.

Extensive and outspoken interviews with military expert Scott Ritter by Danny Haiphong and Richard Medhurst. Ritter covers a wide variety of topics, from the general situation in Ukraine, to the Russians approach and strategy, and the prospects for further war and eventual victory for Russia, regardless of what the West can throw at Moscow’s armies.

MARGARET KIMBERLEY—The U.S. got more than it bargained for after instigating the Ukrainian conflict. The Biden foreign policy team grows more desperate and their plans become more dangerous as they reckon with the unintended consequences of their actions…Victoria Nuland and her boss Antony Blinken and his boss Joe Biden are caught in a bind of their own making. They really believed they could wreck Russia’s economy, or get Vladimir Putin out of office, or break that country up into smaller parts ripe for the picking.
