A sobering assessment as always. For those who understand, Russia is now justified in any retaliation it chooses against the Fourth Reich (NATO, Israel and The Collective West). Come, Lord Jesus!

That is where we get to when we allow the scum of the Earth to rule over us. Look at the leadership of the Collective West; psychopaths, perverts, grifters, oligarchs and Quislings.

What good can ever have come of that?

And yet where are the men, the pitchforks and the scythes and hammers to put a stop to it and them? We sit like rabbits in a warren waiting to be skinned and eaten.

There are many ways to win a war. Russia fears decapitation, but won't decapitate because it is illegal. You can take out political leadership - "A horse, my kingdom for a horse." But Russia won't take out Z let alone the queen. Or you can blitzkrieg them and roll over them. Not in the age of tank hunting drones. You can take the capital. But Putin choses the Special Military Operation which is negotiated by cheaters and liars. Hope the lights go on in the morning. Perhaps it is clear - the US military wants war and Trump is their slut and he can't get it up to save the world.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Repentance is always an option but there is a lot of collective mass and momentum.

I completely understand your argument Scott, why would Pres Putin launch a nuclear response, when he’s not even willing to declare war in Ukraine and keep the status of the SMO? If he won’t take out the nazi leadership in Kiev, why would he put his citizens in jeopardy of a nuclear retaliatory strike? How bout ending this by destroying the Ukrainian leadership and save us all from a nuclear holocaust. Just some thoughts. Great article

Obviously you are not in Europe which is filled with Russiaphobes. Putin can keep this war going with little to no injuries/death on the Russian side.

He is waiting for Ukraine to enter a proper Civil War and kill each other.

At least they can talk about it.

Romans 12:14-21 (KJV) 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Thank you Mr.Ritter for being a voice for reason. These maniacs in DC, Brussels and Kiev need to start listening before we are all doomed.

Thank you for the update on this act of cowardice and treachery, Scott. You can be assured that DJT knew about this - after all. he is Mr. Operation Warp Speed - Deal Maker - 5D Chess Master! Sadly, I suspect that Tulsi knew as well and said nothing. It is telling that Ms. Lindsey and her side-kick, the odious "Vietnam Vet" (Sin-atore Blumenthal) were on the ground delivering fresh orders (and, probably, nose candy) to the psychopathic penis-wielding pianist, Zelenskyy. In my 70+ years, I have never witnessed such treason in high office. Sedition hardly covers it. Our sitting "chess master" is completely incompetent (I do suspect that he is illiterate) or is in on it all from his first term. I lean toward the latter position. Malignant narcissists cannot be fixed/cured. It is revealing that his Rainbow Tour of the Middle East was all about securing deals for the Trump family - and, a grotesquely vulgar, gold-encrusted 747 to salve his need for adulation.

This country is done. Betrayed by its own people in service to Mammon.

About all we can do is hope to rebuild something better on the far side of collapse.

Thanks for your voice, Scott. We need you!

It is high time for Putin to take off his velvet gloves and transform SMO into a real war waged against Ukraine and its NATO allies. His restraint has been misinterpreted as weakness and his pronouncements as mere bluff and this has led to daring attacks like the current ones on 5 strategic airbases with 3 of them nowhere near Ukraine. This has been done with full assistance in planning, intelligence gathering and execution by NATO and intelligence agencies like MI6 and CIA (latter, with or without knowledge of and plausible deniability of President Trump). If Russia does not respond forcefully (say Oreshnik strikes on DECISION CENTERS in Ukraine and its EU allies), then Putin will have led Russia into a deadly trap of eventual strategic defeat. Hope he realizes this and acts accordingly. Hit Ukraine military and government centers without forewarning and destroy Dneiper bridges. Do something, anything Russia. It is war now, not SMO! Hit the British airbase in Cyprus to teach them a lesson! NATO (especially US) is going to risk a nuclear holocaust for that?

A brutally honest assessment of recent events. Why can't we get this in the MSM?

You can't get this in the MSM because it contradicts everything the MSM has been programmed to promote.

Re: It Is Trump Himself Who Must Decide the Fate of the World

I take it that the fate of the world hinges upon the decision of a zombie:

“Unknown is the extent to which President Trump, was knowledgeable of the Ukrainian actions..”

“..Trump appeared to be ignorant of the fact that Ukraine had targeted Russian President Putin using drones..”

In your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey

Thank you Scott, for so vigorously and untiringly waging the peace. (I wish I could be more supportive but I had heart attack a month ago and I am supposed to avoid stress.)

In Peace and Solidarity,

Klaus

Just before the Biden Administration, a friendly contractor told me his superiors thought there would be a nuclear war and on a state level they had bunkers set up for the government. It is military doctrine that neither Russia or China should threaten our $ hegemony (Wolfowitz Doctrine), which is what they are doing. So, it's a chicken game, and the civilians are the losers. You got to know we are being held hostage by our government. The military took over, they think they can win, and it's a whole new game. Hope your electricity turns on in the morning and we can bourse the internet. By the way: Martin Armstrong predicted months ago that May 15 would be a turning point, and there were negotiations. When asked when WWIII would start, Socrates predicted the end of May. Kinda like the ides of March. God bless us one and all.
