Is Georgia Turning into a New Ukraine? How Dangerous is it? | Scott Ritter & Larry C. Johnson

Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union, implementing arms control agreements, and on the staff of General Norman Schwartzkopf during the Gulf War, where he played a critical role in the hunt for Iraqi SCUD missiles. From 1991 until 1998, Mr. Ritter served as a Chief Inspector for the United Nations in Iraq, leading the search for Iraq’s proscribed weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Ritter was a vocal critic of the American decision to go to war with Iraq. His new book, Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, is his ninth.

Henry Kissinger (Washington Post): “For the West, the demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one.” Every Golden Billion country is dominated by born-again Yankee Quislings. Britain, Germany and the rest have failing economies as they can't rely upon looting colonies anymore. Saladin: “I warn you against shedding blood, indulging in it and making a habit of it, for blood never sleeps.” The US, now and always, makes allies of the most corrupt, violent collaborators. Recently, US trained military yahoos have committed 8 coups in West Africa. Of course, military coups are cheaper than honestly negotiating Oil & Gas rights with responsible, democratically elected, popularly supported leadership. 'Los Zetas', Mexico's worst narco gang were trained and armed by US 'special forces'. Honduras, where democracy was recently restored after a US-OAS coup installed a president and family now facing decades in US prisons for drug trafficking. El Salvador, where ex-President Cristiani is facing murder charges for the executions of 6 Catholic priests, housekeeper and young daughter, that advocated for negotiations and peace. These are only the most recent iteration of Western Quislings put in power to serve US greed. John Kenneth Galbraith, “The modern Conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” Only the most savage, racist, drug-dealing monsters are embraced as worthy NAYOYO allies because they have NO LOCAL support. NAYOYO welcomes military coups and death squads everywhere so long as it favours corporate greed and human rights violations that terrify popular dissent. These collaborators know their lives and future depend on following CIA instructions. John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873): “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally conservative.”

An excerpt : On the front, Ukraine is facing one of its most rapid collapses of the war thus far. There are no two ways of mincing things: Russian sources report catastrophic losses for AFU who are woefully understaffed and underarmed. The largest scale of POW captures in the past year is currently ongoing, with over a dozen new videos just from today alone showing dozens of Ukrainian prisoners, including many Kraken: Even the Ukrainian female paramedics are pleading for help with the losses: As of this writing, the Ukrainian General Staff has announced a withdrawal of Volchansk, the largest city and stronghold of northern Kharkov region, though it’s unclear as of yet if it’s a full or partial one, as the wording is ambiguous: Frontline troops are frothing with anger at command: Russian forces have now even gotten within artillery range of Kharkov city itself, and there are reports they are hammering AFU positions on Kharkov outskirts from about 22-24km in Glyboke/Hlyboke. There are even reports of blocking detachments now waiting in the rear to intercept fleeing troops: And if you thought that might be imaginative propaganda, Russian forces reportedly captured one of the troops tasked with carrying out blocking orders of the sort, who attests to the fact: Either way, fighting was already being reported toward the center of Volchansk, whereas Russian forces had just reached the outskirts yesterday. Some reports stated Russian forces captured the administrative buildings near the center: _______ On the heels of that, whispers from the Sumy border have grown deafening. But nonstop rumors of major upticks in Russian DRG action, drones, artillery strikes, and more, all along the Sumy region: Read and watch in further detail at ; simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-51424-putin-cleans-house-as

Nothing will happen because one is much weaker than the other. If on the one side is the bully that has brought its military force to stay in most countries but every one of these other countries stands alone also nothing will happen. There might be laws and there might be begging or consultations but the bully will laugh or militarily strike the one that doesn’t obey. The only chance is the some of the courageous countries cling together. At first they have to and must talk with the bully, for sure. But if the answer is weather weapons and proxy wars it is to accept that this is not the way. Then the last chance ( and this one may only occur once in a hundred or more years ) is to give them a taste of their own medicine. Or another word says: someone who doesn’t want to listen has to feel. The alliance of the courageous countries has the choice to negotiate or to fight for freedom. After having tried to negotiate for a decade the answer of the bully was more threatening and sanctioning to even mor members and even destroying facilities that were very crucial to others.( and the bully never hesitated to kill people ) So now we (rest of the world) are at a point we have to decide if we want to stay slaves or want to fight. The situation is dire straits. The bully wants to have a one world order and wants a genocide and to alter us humans to cyborgs . ( in fact they already started). We may accept this or we must fight the bully. The bully is a coalition of this country and some big global companies. It isn’t clear at the moment if the leaders/ CEOs of these companies are still ordinary humans or if they are already operated by AI . The Idea of further negotiations is futile. We have to fight and to me it seams the better option to strike once hard than to make billions of people suffer for a long time and we have to be sure that we hit them ( to only poke them would be a loosing game). Do we want to be enslave cyborgs or do we want to fight. If we fight they won’t play fair ( they never did) and a lot of us will die. The ordinary people living in the bully-country aren’t bad. More than 99% of them are arrogant and feel superior but they don’t harm others. If possible we should safe them but first aim/ target/ goal must be to end the unbearable situation.

Meep in mind we fund 30,000 NGOs in Grorgia alone. If each employs full or part time, plus has its unpaid members let us say 10 each -this is 300,000 people. These are on the streets. Former NGO beneficiary in Slovakia shot prime minister who he blamed for losing NGO grant.

I hope, the Georgians really love their country; they will not be so reckless to sell it for some paper dollars, euros and vague promises of joining the 'European terrarium' and crumbling 'defensive' organization; watching the war in Ukraine, they can see the danger at which they might put their country, becoming the next proxy against Russia.

In the summer of 2008 was the opening of the Olympics in Beijing when the puppet government of Georgia attacked South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Back then VVP was Prime Minister and was in the opening. I'll bet he knew such an attack was going to happen while the rest of the world was distracted watching the opening of the Summer Olympics.

Non esiste nessun sforzo da parte Occidentale...la Georgia è un paese talmente povero che con pochi denari è possibile fare una rivolta civile e sociale per un ipotetico futuro migliore...un migliore futuro che non potrà essere sostenuto per milioni di Georgiani perché i denari non possono essere erogati in modo gratuito nei decenni a venire. Dall'altra parte esiste una ipotesi molto meno ricca ma più stabile per i Georgiani che vorranno mantenere un buon rapporto con la Russia. È una situazione semplicemente catastrofica per tutti e soprattutto per i Georgiani.

@@03056932 New ones are not even close to old ones with a totally different world we are living in then before. You must be aware of the most important fact, at the peak of neocon power in 1945 there were 2,2 billion people on this planet and now we have more than 8 billion with at least 7 billion which does not have or want to deal with neocons. Neocolonial way does not work anymore, there are to many people on this globe. This is the main reason why neocons want to depopulate us and convert us to transgenders with the next step to dehumanize us, only way to obtain control.
