Scott Ritter: Russia is on the right side of history

Follow CCB on Twitter: / ccbjustice
Watch the full video here: • Scott Ritter on Ukrain...
Former UN weapons inspector and US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter speaks at the Community Church of Boston, about the conflict in Ukraine, US-Russia relations, and his most recent book Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union.
Scott also wrote SCORPION KING: America’s Suicidal Embrace of Nuclear Weapons from FDR to Trump.
Having served in the Soviet Union, Scott offers an alternative perspective to the war in Ukraine when compared to the mainstream, corporate media. Before the 2003 Iraq War, Scott gained prominence as a weapons inspector for correctly stating that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.
Scott Ritter’s most recent book, Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, “is the definitive history of the implementation of the INF Treaty signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in all its complexities.” The negotiations of the INF Treaty offer a blueprint for how world powers can peacefully negotiate complex situations.

You can be ashamed, but the idea that you might caveat it with "as retired military" is very unfunny and ironic and sickening. You took your pay contributing to world disorder, you probably now take the benefits, you are one of those Americans who shame you. You don't get a pass because you finally figured out a few things I've understood since 1972. You want to be ashamed, be ashamed of yourself.

Long story short, I was born in 1983 at Far East of Russia. I clearly remember 1991... it was nightmare up until 2000. I lost many relatives during those days, my Mom cried when she couldn't feed us cause she haven't been paid at her job... We have been doing whatever we could to survive even kids, I will never forget that experience and I will never wish to anyone to go through such situation. But I'm quite amazed deep level of understanding of what exactly happened and Russia's history from Scott. Huge respect for him and his clear vision, USA need people like him. Unfortunately Scott and others who have adequate point of view not in charge, but until guys like him exists in USA we all have chance to minimize damage which occurs right now. I only wish that people like Scott had more influence on society. God bless you people of USA, we ordinary people of Russia is not your enemy we just want to save our country and our families.

Putin is destroying your country. This problem must be taken care of domestically.

What surprises me most is the reaction of Europeans to what is happening. Before my Twitter account was finally gone I tried to argue with a DW journalist about the irrationality of blaming Russia for a conflict that was planted in the heart of Europe by the US for American profit. The journalist immediately blocked me as if I were a repulsive, offensive, aggressive person unworthy of her attention. Some citizens of EU member countries with whom I have been in contact for decades through social networks (Orkut, Multiply, Facebook) are literally being abducted by hatred against Russia. Some of them are capable of denying the existence of Nazis in Ukraine and are deeply irritated when asked about what European countries did (or failed to do) while Lugansk and Donestsk were bombed daily in violation of the peace agreement concluded between Ukraine and Russia. That I think is the most dangerous thing. The toxic effect of the European press (I won't even mention the 'American press', because that's a contradiction in terms) is evident and extremely dangerous at this point. You do an excellent job... but I don't think it will be enough to prevent the worst.

[@georgekelmeris9804]

With all due respect, this so-called " Proxy " War against Russia, is in fact a War, It was a Was in the making since 2000, when Mr. Putin became the accidental President of the Russian Federation ( Russia ), He was NOT. about to let Russia to become an American Colony, after seeing that afI ter the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West and its allies, were pillaging Russia's Vast Natural Resources Wealth, and creating some Oligarchs along the way ( one, will control the Oil sector, another woud control the Gold mine sector, another would control the Diamond mine sector, another the Platinum mine sector, another the Copper mine sector, etc., etc., etc. ), in doing so it kept the Russian civilians impoverished, when Mr. Putin, became President in 2000. He Nationalized the Natural Resources Wealth, and D C. became infuriated, because the Vast Ammount of Wealth that they were loosing, when in the first place, it Didn't Belong to D C, so of course D C Demonized Mr. Putin, AND. Russia, And that's exactly why we have this War , using Ukraine and her people, to even try to Weaken Russia for her Natural Resources, Some say that D C, doesn't want Russia to become as strong militarily, as the then Soviet Union, and were already planning on how to carve Russia into smaller pieces, so D C, and its allies could manage her easier, Russia was already preparing herself militarily for this War since 2000, but only accelerated from 2014 till the present ( January 6th 2023 ), 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Peace 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Poles, Ukrainians, Germans, Lithuanians, Romanians - hundreds of million of people in Central Europe are thankful for US contribution to dissolution of Soviets. Believe me, I live in Poland my family suffered massively, there is reason why Solidarity movement rose up. Soviets collapsed because they had inefficient central planned economy, no freedom of speech and unsustainable spending on their military - this is communism in reality. That’s why they collapsed and had difficulties in 1990’. Putin came over and said - it is all fault of the West who is trying to bring us down since hundred of years. Populism.

Scott Ritter is Putin's poodle, who, according to Putin's wish, makes comparisons about Ukraine as a Nazi state, even though Putin actually represents the current Nazi regime in Russia. But in the free West, even this kind of slander is allowed, unlike in Russia, where dissenters are either in prison, killed or have left the country. In the West, everyone is free to express their opinion, the listener is then responsible for the truth.

"Another pro-Russian propagandist, Scott Ritter, is an American military commentator who has been openly promoting a propaganda narrative and false information with the cooperation of the Kremlin’s disinformation agents since the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine. Scott Ritter, who was a UN armaments inspector in Iraq in 1991-1998, blamed the UN and the USA for the harsh treatment of Saddam Hussein. After leaving his position, Mr Ritter has become an outspoken critic of the US government. It was reported that in 2001 Scott Ritter was sentenced six months to prison for unlawful sexual contact with minors. In 2009, Mr Ritter was detained again under the same allegation, jailed for six years and then released on bail in 2014. In addition, Scott Ritter writes articles for Russia Today which are critical of the West whilst promoting false information through actively publishing articles on different Russian propaganda platforms.

There's actually kind of a saying here "NATO didn't move to the East , the East moved to NATO" , the point I'm trying to make is that it shouldn't be surprising ( or at least it isn't surprising for me ) that Ukraine tried to ( partially ) ban Russian language on its land .

There's this German word "Russlandversteher", which is, paradoxically, self-contradictory. It is someone who "understands" Soviets, and thinking that you can make a deal with them, which is the best proof that he DOES NOT UNDERSTAND Russia AT ALL. Or, in other words, as Churchill reportedly said, "it's like trying to appease a crocodile". One of very few Americans that did "understand" Russia was Gen. Patton, and he wasn't talking such patented nonsense as this guy here. Marquise de Custine in his "Letters from Russia" described pretty accurate the eternal (OK, make it "since XII-XIII century") Russian obsession with conquest, pillage and subversion of other nations, and the most insightful part of that book are quotes of Prince Kozlovsky (if memory serves me), who happened to be a Russian diplomat for awhile. I'm just over three minutes into this dead-brain hogwash and I'm sure watching anymore of it would be a pure waste of time. He's talking about occupied Germany, and that the Soviets wanted "peace" treaty ("peace", my foot...), and the PRECONDITION to it was - effectively - a DEMILITARISED and DEINDUSTRIALISED Germany, i.e. one that COULD NOT fight against Russian planned invasion on Western Europe - but he NEVER REALISES that THIS was te goal of Soviets, NOT "peace". (For them it was like in Orwell's "1984" - "War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength".) Also, see "Colonel [Polish: Pułkownik] Ryszard Kukliński" and the Soviet Invasion Plans and other top-secret Soviet documents he passed to CIA. And for their Orwellian ways look no further than their main newspaper that was called ПРАВДА (PRAVDA), Russian for The Truth - feck, it was ANYTHING but the truth! Even weather forecast was sometimes false - for instance, for May 1st holiday the weather was always (AFAIK) "predicted" as "nice and balmy". Or check Wiki entry about "Yerevan Jokes" genre... FOR SOVIETS ANY AGREEMENT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SERVED/ FULFILLED, it was always seen merely as a tool to tie "western hands". I mean, they might have even stick to it and abide by its terms for awhile, but ONLY AS LONG AS IT SERVED THEIR GOALS AND AIMS. The moment they saw it as harmful to their interests (even if just potentially) out of the window it went. Case in point - they declared nuke-free zone made of DDR, Poland (or PRL back then) and Czechoslovakia (CSRS) in order to get some leverage to force Amies' nukes out of BRD (West Germany), which (the US nukes in West Germany) was a serious threat to them. But guess what? Yep, how did you guess it? The kept their nukes in Poland regardless, in Soviet Army bases (like, say, Borne-Sulinowo or Legnica, which were off-limits to anyone from then LWP, or "Peoples Polish Army", including the highest command - unless they were granted permission to enter by Soviet Command). Anyway, this guy is, well... an idiot. Or totally deluded, but to me it's all the same. Or, as Comrade Lenin used to call this type of people, полезный идиот. And that he's saying this NOW, well into full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war, makes him a true hare-brained thinker. "Beware not to be dumbed by your own wisdom", as goes the old Jewish saying.

The biggest mistake we ever made after the collapse of the Soviet Union was to not go into Russia IMMEDIATELY and help them rebuild their shattered economy and infrastructure. Had we done that, instead of merely watch the new Russian Federation devolve into multiple coup attempts and rampant corruption by oligarchs, the outcome of what we're seeing today would be very different than it is. If the people of Russia had seen us actually help them to rebuild and restructure their nation, and to assist them in transitioning from a command economy into a truly free capitalist one like the West, no such support or desire for expansion of proxy wars like the one in Ukraine would exist. I agree with Scott 100%, we had no desire to help the Russians after the collapse of Communism in their country because we didn't want them to get back up, EVER. That is a truly criminal act by our politicians, and a missed chance to create a peace that would have lasted.

I`m listening to Ritter and his strong narrative makes me cry in my soul... 30 Years ago I was admired, thinking that West is trying to establish fair relationship with Russia... ( high Hopes... (

[@rickarmstrong9660]

This makes me "cry in my soul" too. As an American I couldn't be more ashamed of America's arrogance and cruelty. Our presidents and oligarchs are hellbent on ruling the entire planet. They don't to want to see any other superpower succeed in any way, even economically. I think that China and Russia both would gladly work WITH us if we only stopped treating them as "threats" that need to be defeated and crushed. The "evils" that our presidents and pundits portray them to be guilty of cannot compare to the evils the American Empire has perpetrated for nearly its entire existence, especially since the end of WW2. Since then, this has become the most destructive nation on the planet, and our presidents and politicians in DC have the audacity to pretend that America always acts on behalf of "democracy and freedom." The only thing that this country acts on behalf of are our capitalist interests and raping the planet and stealing resources for the benefit of the super-rich pigs who are running our government and are now trying to rule and run the world.

Rev.13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. God didn’t say the number is 666. God said the number is SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX and to count it. We must use Simple English Gematria to count the number. Simple English Gematria A=1----------Z=26 SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX = 19+9+24 + 8+21+14+4+18+5+4 + 20+8+18+5+5+19+3+15+18+5 + 1+14+4 + 19+9+24 = 313 VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN = 22+12+1+4+9+13+9+18 + 22+12+1+4+9+13+9+18+15+22+9+3+8 + 16+21+20+9+14 = 313 God said count the number, so we have 26 letters in the number. We need to count TWENTY AND SIX to get his birth date. TWENTY = 20+23+5+14+20+25 = 107 AND = 1+14+4 = 19 SIX = 19+9+24 = 52 10-7-1952 Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin birth date and is the Beast.
