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. Scott analyses, for example, the futility of sending advanced NATO weapons to Ukraine, from tanks to guns to airplanes, all of which require a great deal of practice to be effectively used.

FRANK SCOTT—While a new administration presides over what many hoped would be a return to normal after the even more blatant and open worship of wealth, war and Israel of the Trump regime, what’s missed is that what passes for normal is what needs radical change. As long as market normalcy in the USA means hundreds of thousands are homeless, millions are living in poverty and millions more than that are so much deeper in debt than ever before in our history that the World Bank warns of the possibility of social collapse.
