God bless you brother, for so many reasons. You're doing a damn good job on all fronts. I'm trying my best, but you've been out there blowing doors off for quite a while. Good man. Good man.

The biggest failure of a country is to not know and understand your adversary. This is why the US cannot win conflicts. The US puts up a wall of hate towards countries that it wants to diminish. And a bigger failure of the US is it's view that it is somehow special and exceptional, thus giving the US the right to control and subjugate other countries. These are recipes for disaster.

I disagree. The US is a once great, now tottering, edifice destroyed by termites that have infiltrated and weakened its foundation and all its joints, and the termite enablers (parasites thriving on rot and putrefaction)keep inventing external "enemies" to distract the attention of the survivors.

America was never great, just lucky and our luck is running out. Pax Americana is going the way of its mother Pax Britannia. America is a clone. America was an oligarchy from the beginning. All the Founders were British born.

So who or what exactly are these “termites and parasites” and what are their origins? also what exactly is the rot and putrefaction they are nibbling on! In fact what exactly are you alleging?

I just wanted more specificity! Who were (are) the termites and what did they actually do! A lot is coming out now that was incredibly hidden from the general public for a long time. All that has to come out! Sort of like what came out of the files ( which all East German citizens were allowed access to) of East Germany when the Berlin Wall came down. We need some courageous person in power to demand the wall of secrecy to come down and officially inform the nation and the world of the hidden truths of the “Empire’s” not so great hegemony ! And then we need to talk about real democracy in the international bodies of International Law, Justice and Diplomacy! We have to stop thinking of “great nations” and “small nations” and talk about ALL NATIONS getting together to keep the PEACE through a system of founded on justice, compassion and wisdom. If not now when?

I agree with you. However I think the US COULD actually be exceptional but unfortunately we’ve failed. We had a prime opportunity to lead by example and do the right thing during the unipolar moment. (This is when we are the only superpower). But unfortunately due to very poor leadership we blew that opportunity. And now, amazingly, the leadership is just as bad and maybe even worse and unfortunately things aren’t looking too good.

What's infuriating is that there was talk of a "peace dividend" following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Then Clinton and those other gangsters squandered it while ransacking Russia. And it's the Clintons who lead the US stupidity and hubris that have brought the world to this.

The problem with peace is that there is no money to be made on it. War, on the other hand, is a racket.

"Things fall apart." Take that from the perspective of the poem "Ozymandias."

What we were not told, and especially that which we should have been told repeatedly and with emphasis---is democracy---or even constitutional republics---are fated by human nature to break down and fall apart.

We delude ourselves daily in believing that everything functional and fair once attained will somehow just keep chugging along due to its inherent goodness and equanimity of ideals and principles, but this is the farthest thing from the truth.

We are part of a larger dynamic in time's fabric, a constant pull of selfish interests vs what is good for society. And that dynamic NEVER sleeps, while we must conduct our already mostly tenuous individual lives as a priority in keeping our personal meat sacks functional.

And this while other covert forces are constantly working to corrupt and pervert us to get the bulk of citizens to effect their will and ultimate goals.

Democracy is the most fragile of all forms of government because it demands as much of the fulltime efforts of the individual citizen that can possibly be made manifest.

It demands (unrealistically) that we be fully informed and willing to act, to drop anything and everything 'to defend the Republic.' And that would require a nation of "super-citizens," a thing that does not exist, except in rare individual efforts such as Scott Ritter embodies. And that is a life filled, overflowing even, with personal sacrifices, sacrifices and struggles far beyond the ken and discipline of the average man or woman. Of such stuff were the founding fathers composed. And they knew and spoke of the perils: "A republic---if you can keep it" were the words of Ben Franklin following the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.

So what we're living is fulltime tension within a constant state of erosion. Against huge if not universal outside physical (as in physics) forces that require thus-far-unthought efforts just to maintain the inertia, let alone actionably / effectively maintaining and 'improving' through persistent individual efforts to achieve the betterment of ideals and principles.

Certain groups/affiliates (take the über-riche for example) have been in the manipulation of the masses game for a long, long time. It is they who have managed to manufacture the world we see and feel today, the tech-enabled one of bright and shiny distractions. And they are not alone in competing for the prize of owning it all, with we, while we---the hoi polloi---continue being numbly acquiescent to their desires of subjugation. See how we fight their wars so readily? We do or they will jail or kill us. Period.

And they have professional competitors too. International ones. Ethnic ones. Religious ones. But they, even as their groupings desire to dominate individually, have learned to come together far above our pedestrian and mundane awareness in figuring out how to combine efforts to keep us harnessed and ever-more so. For example, they took over the U.S. education system beginning in the early 1920s. They knew where to strike first.

But the danger of our times is illustrated by the teamwork of the psychopaths. It means they have evolved, their traits of amorality now a weaponized genetic tool. These ultimate 'loners' who have learned how to work together for a 'common' renumeration (I can't say"'for a common good," that's too ironic and distasteful.)

So you see, it's not that simple---all the while being "It's that simple."

Our struggles for true awareness of hard core factual reality---while under the masking efforts of the plutocrats and their minions---will not cease soon.

I would do nothing to save democracy. It is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner. Always degrades into mob rule and tyranny. This country was founded as a constitutional republic. It was never supposed to be a democracy.

A republic is a constitutional democracy, it's a form of government where the people are supposedly involved in the process. In reality, it's become a totalitarian system worse than the USSR,, and most Americans still think they're free.

That's wishful thinking, unfortunately. Until the entire swamp is destroyed by God with fire, it will remain in place over America. America (and I speak this as an American) has the government it deserves.

We would not repent of our sins in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, or 80s, but continued to double down, and in the 2020s our leaders are playing nuclear chicken with Russia.

America will likely reap a fiery nuclear fate, because we did not repent.

"...preemptively using nuclear weapons as a means of escalating to de-escalate."

I don't think I've ever heard such a ridiculous and contradictory statement in my life. The US is playing with (nuclear) fire and it deserves to get burned (nuked) for doubting that Russia won't take issue with being bombed first. Please, lock up these madmen in Washington DC and place them on a small island in the middle of the ocean and let's "preemptively" nuke them so they can get a taste of their own "escalating to de-escalate" medicine.

If Jill Stein wins in two or three swing states, this could deny either one of the other two parties enough electoral votes to win and the election would then be thrown to the House of Representatives. In this case, Stein could win, but real goal of throwing the election to the House would be to give the country three viable parties instead of two.

Mr. Ritter, You were WRONG about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and you’re WRONG again!

Oh wait…. I meant to say you were exactly correct about Iraq.

And you, and everyone on your side of the fence, are exactly correct about what you’ve had to say about Ukraine.

You’re exactly correct when it comes to your analysis of the situation in Israel.

And unfortunately, you’re exactly correct about your analysis of the use of nuclear weapons.
