let's go live now to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott is great to have you on the program today. now, in his speech poodle pointed out that there is no point in using nuclear weapons in ukraine. what reaction from the west do you expect regarding this statement, and will it be enough to possibly stop the speculation on nuclear conflict? know the, the whole, i mean the, the genesis of the discussion of russia using a nuclear weapon. brain is derived from the narrative. that's being promulgated the russians losing the special military operation that rushes in desperate situation that russia will have to escalate by using the nuclear weapon. this is not reality . it's part of the process of shaping perceptions in the west because there's flagging support for going into for billions of dollars into what is seen as a futile in failing efforts in ukraine. so we have to create the perception of a russian threat to justifies this. but the, the russian president rightfully pointed out with the reality is russian doctrine doesn't permit this.

scott ritter. thank you so much for your time and inside the trim ah, an arbitration court and moscow has ruled in favor of a claim large my r t against ghoul to restore access to 27 of its channels currently blocked on youtube, the head of ortiz, legal team, gave us an account of the case which she does a unique victory to listen to. we went to court since our t channels on youtube had been blocked. and we were convinced that the band violated our rights for the freedom of distributing information. not only the ones we have as a media outlet, but also us citizens and a legal entity. such rights are granted by the russian constitution. we had previously signed an agreement with google on placing our content on their platform . so we were supposed to distribute the content without any obstacles. we didn't violate any of the youtube rules, but still our channels got banned. naturally, we as a media outlet emphasize the fact that the ban as we see it was a censorship move against our coverage. our poi

let's start off with scott ritter in the very middle there. scott ritter for my us marine corps. and tell officer to the right side of the screen. karen creat koski retired us air force. lieutenant colonel. and finally, us met most stuff on the left side of the screen, director of the age of center for studies and translation to all of you from all of us here at moscow, a very good evening from the russian capital. first question to you scott: we've just add the words just now from both the estonian prime minister and foreign minister, one congratulating ukrainian special forces on blowing up the coach bridge and killing 6 civilians. and other is accusing russia of using terrorist tactics. and is there a fine line, but you're seeing the scott no, there's no there's, there's there's, there's no fine line. there's a, a massive gap, a giant jasmine attack on the look that the bridge, the, the, the crimea bridge was a legitimate military target. there's, there's no doubt about that. um, but russia has indicated that it, this was not a war. it was friday with the train, but a special

now to discuss the matter further with scott ritter former marine corps intelligence officer, scott langford, janice here again on auntie. now we've heard that ukraine has attacked this fairy crossing in house on how can give justify using these tactics that russia just recently warned about. there is literally no justification, but it's not just key of that, you know, must be held to account. the ukranian authorities have indicated for some time now that high mars b u. s. provided high mobility artillery rocket system is a system that the targeting of which is collaborated with the united states that the united states provides intelligence information about the targets that enables the ukrainians to position their systems, fire the systems and get away this is, this isn't something that ukraine does on its own. so that means that not only did russia inform chill of the fact that this crossing was exclusively 1st or civilian use of the united states knew this when they provided the targeting information to the ukranian. so both united states and the ukrainian government have a lot to answer

and we spoke earlier to for my us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he believed washington is the one breaking its international obligations hopper listen. when you have a u. s. admiral bragging that the united states would be able to defeat any blockade. china might put around taiwan when you have a u. s. air force, general bragging about how the united states would destroy chinese logistics of systems and lines of communication. if there was ever aggression against taiwan. when you have us officials visiting taiwan as if taiwan was an independent state when the of the united states providing taiwan with millions of dollars of modern weaponry. well beyond that which is needed for legitimate defense purposes. and then it becomes clear that the one china policy is in name only that the united states is openly advocating for to china's the communist party dominated mainland china and the pro american, the government that exist in the, in taiwan. all right, i don't just about wrap it up for now from the studio and out he international. appreciate you joi

scott ritter says that washington has always known exactly how kiya uses western supplied weapons. the notion that there's going to be a qualitative change where your credit is going to certainly say here, we're going to allow you to tell us what to do and how to do it. this is absurd. and then united states already controls how you train uses weapons such as the high mars system. we also control. ready a much of the of fire support provided by nato artillery systems that have been turned over to ukraine. there's rhetoric and then there's action. so just keep in mind with blinking said the united states is not only turning a blind eye to these ongoing crimes against the international humanitarian law. but united states is actively facilitating this by providing intelligence information about the locations of targets. and in many cases, a coordinating the actual use of the weapons against civilian targets. so it's not just arrogance. this is criminal behavior on the part of the united states. oh, investigations into the north stream pipelines. damage being hindered by danish and swe

scott ritter. we're both new york state residence. we're both on this list and really raise the question. given that i'm an opponent of schumer is this some indirect way of silencing me at least 2 or putting me in dangerous. we have a narrative which frankly is wearing thin in the united states. and i think the overwhelming sentiment in the united states is that this war must be ended diplomatically with legitimate security concerns of both russia and ukraine addressed congress in the united states, frankly, is largely unaware of how overwhelmingly opposed americans are to our involvement in this conflict. and the more that we can get that message across to them, the more i think we have a chance of getting the policy changed. now this all comes political consensus over continuing aids. ukraine is under strain with midterm elections, fast approaching democratic party. congress members have reported a recent letter urging joe biden to engage with russia. indirect peace talks that the progressive caucus of us house of representatives ca

early earlier we held a discussion on this issue with scott ritter for the us marine corps intelligence officer. karen cord, cowski retired, the us air force, anton curl, and our mid will suffer director of ages center of studies and transition. it seems like it was set up on a truck and the driver. it was not ukrainian and possibly wasn't even aware that he was getting ready to be blown up himself on very much in line with what we have come to think of is a terrorist type operation and the use of terrorism type tactics in this situation is consistent with where the re craniums actually stand, we're talking about a, a collective that term has also legitimized the destruction of critical energy infrastructure. the attack on nord stream isn't just a sabotage attack. it's a, it's an attack of, it's an international terrorist event of the largest magnitude, and yet nobody in the west is using net terminology to describe it as such, unless of course, they are ascribing to russia. and in which case, it becomes a russian at the chair. but there's a double standard here play up. but that's, tha

senator schumer has refused to answer inquiries both from myself and a former un weapons inspector, scott ritter, were both new york state residents. were both on this list and rid or raised the question. given that i'm an opponent of schumer is this some indirect way of silencing me, at least for putting me in dangerous. we have a narrative which frankly is wearing thin in the united states. and i think. busy overwhelming sentiment in the united states is that this war must be ended diplomatically with legitimate security concerns of both russia and ukraine addressed congress and the united states. frankly, as largely unaware of how overwhelmingly opposed americans are to our involvement in this conflict. and the more that we can get that message across to them, the more i think we have a chance of getting the policy changed. well, this does all coleman political consensus over 80. ukraine is increasingly coming under strain with midterm elections. fast approaching, democratic party members have retracted. a recent letter urging jo bought in to engage with russia indirect toward the chair of th

scott ritter. we're both new york state residents. we're both on this list and read or raise the question. given that i'm an opponent of schumer is this some indirect way of silencing me at least, or putting me in danger at the thankfully. so far as i know, knock on wood, know, american has been attacked in the united states on this list. but there is only about an hour from my office, a camp for a band arest youth. so i don't think it's, you know, the wisest thing to do. if you're interested in security to start throwing these terms around information, terrorist things like that. well, i hope you're not looking over your shoulder too much over that. no, you did touch on this and you'll see your 1st question. obviously, washington is spending billions of dollars on lethal aids, humanitarian aid to ukraine. how sustainable do you think it is for the u. s, under the countries of them. i tried to keep up this level of support. i mean, it's no secret that the u. s. europe, you care all facing huge domestic problems. how long do you think

now we spoke earlier with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer, who sees the methods used by key of forces constitute war crimes. to war crime, there's no other way that this could be described. there is no, no military necessity for the so or for striking this target. they used cluster munitions apparently which are designed to inflict massive casually. so this was done with the intent of killing civilians in large numbers. this is the, the, the method of operation of ukrainian government, a view, any civilian fleeing territory. the ukrainian government believes belongs to them and they continue to believe that care soon as there's any civilian slinky or so on towards a russia is a traitor. and therefore, other than the policy of ukraine is to punish traitors. and so we'll show them of, you know, it's a war crime, a terrific. it's a crime against humanity. is something else to show you during a recent broadcast on a popular french news channel. a correspondence said that ukraine is targeting infrastructure and medical facilities in the city of her son. but before she

scott ritter, former us marine corps intel offer. so and of course augment mustafah from the, from that of the director of the age of center studies and translation to all 3 of you. how i enjoy our chats. thank you for joining us. there were naughty international have a very good evening. thank you. hello. and thank you for joining us or an archie international. plenty of things you may have missed waiting for you right now when i was he telegram and archie don't ah, [000:00:00;00] ah . hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered on funeral. about 1st it was the north stream pipelines. now the bridge connecting crimea to the russian mainland both have been sabotaged. both can be considered terrorist attacks on infrastructure. there can be no doubt moscow will react, but how and against whom ah discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guest here in moscow. maxine susco, he's the director of the center of advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. and we have to meet your

in the cross talking the conflict in ukraine, i'm joined by my guess, scott ritter in del mar. he's a former intelligence officer and united nations weapons inspector in tampa. we have larry johnson, he is a managing partner for a burg associates and a former c. i a analyst, and us state department counterterrorism official. and in philadelphia we cross state erin, good. he is a political scientist historian and author of american exception, empire and the deep state. i tell him in cross talk roles, and in fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, scott, let me go to you 1st and del mar, i know we've been talking about this for months and months now. almost devoted every single program since the start of the conflict on the conflict and ukraine. but i think sometimes it's important to kind of step back and look at the very big picture here. so the 1st question is, i said in my introduction, how do you think this conflict and ukraine is likely to end? this conflict will in with a complete russian victory that's the only possible solution.

with scott ritter, who's a former marine corps intelligence officer states, i say's even as the u. s. military industrial complex tries to get more money from washington, it will be hard to increase the speed of development when it comes to hypersonic weapons. united states has spent the last 20 years fighting low intensity conflict in iraq and afghanistan. our focus hasn't been on building weapon systems capable of confronting peer or even near peer opponents. so china, russia, even the rod, you know, now we're trying to play catch up and, you know, the, the american defense procurement system is not to one that is a good at doing the rapid development of weapons. it's, it's specializes in dragging things out over the long term that helps to make more money. but congress is a little hesitant because they've been taken for a ride in the past by these very same prince contractors. the russians have a very effective air defense, integrated air defense system that can protect against almost anything the united states can throw at it. um, united states has nothing to protect against th

this year or former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, had told the program that washington is the main beneficiary of north stream going offline. united states will make a windfall. profits showing liquid natural gas to their erstwhile european allies. how can you call them european allies when you're blowing up a european infrastructure? there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out in be have the incentive of, you know, the united states was confronted with the fact that the german people were beginning to rebel against the us dictated policies that were being implemented by the german government regarding your russian energy, not purchasing russian gas, et cetera. and we're going to demand that the north stream to pipeline be opened up so that they wouldn't freeze to death this winter. and by blowing up the pipeline, united states is taking that possibility, you know, off the table. so, you know, the united states is not only the likely a candidate, but all of the circumstantial evidence would convict united states. virtuall

scott ritter in del mar. he's a former intelligence officer and united nations weapons inspector in tampa. we have larry johnson. he is a managing partner for a burg associates and a former c. i. a analyst and us state department counterterrorism official. and in philadelphia we cross state erin, good. he is a political scientist historian and author of american exception empire and the deep state. i tell him in cross talk roles, and in fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, scott, let me go to you person delmar. i know we've been talking about this for months and months now. almost devoted every single program since the start of the conflict on the conflict and ukraine. but i think sometimes it's important to kind of step back and look at the very big picture here. so the 1st question is, i said in my introduction, how do you think there's conflict and ukraine is likely to end? this conflict will in, with a complete russian victory of that's the only possible solution. russia

came, what is called on a safari, they did not succeed in combat forces did not work out explains scott ritterth colleagues from the aif however, this wave was very diverse. they didn't want those 20,000 on the front line as they were being killed quickly. after nato began to supply more of the required equipment with higher technology and complexity, and the tactics of ukraine were called upon to realize more complex work. i mean and communications intelligence support. so i think the first wave of foreigners not mercenaries were agents, cia american special forces, possibly british teams that came in to take over the logistics take over the task transfer equipment from the border to the warehouse instructors team with bounty hunters to the final. they still have one in the bags. cnn will make another story. apparently, the states have no heroes left at all, if they are already singing the praises of the mercenary joshua combat coordination of units are mobilized in the saratov region, they are practicing methods of silent movement in the forest, they are learning to determine the coordinates

was then discussed were preventive sanctions. especially for our program, us military analyst scott ritterky's nuclear madness . us nuclear doctrine does not allow pre-emptive nuclear strikes in the current conditions. we will retaliate with nuclear weapons if anyone attacks us the us government has made it clear that russia is not doing anything right now that brings us closer to this. it is absurd that the narcissistic arrogant zelensky thinks he owns the us nuclear arsenal, that he can determine when, why and how we use nuclear weapons. it's just ridiculous. it's amazing that he even had to make such a statement, it shows absolute desperation. this means that zelensky knows that he cannot win, that this war is over, and is absolutely certain that officials behind the scenes are asking zelensky to shut up when it comes to using american nuclear weapons and frankly in a nuclear war, ukraine or any other nation cannot tell america how to use their nuclear weapons. this is just an outright insult. he did it lines without coordinating it with us, which means that we do not control him the we

different from nazi germany, this was stated by the former intelligence officer of the us marine corps scott ritterainst the russians against them genocide, this one takes place in 2014, when the ukrainian government of force overthrew viktor yanukovych, the legally elected president of ukraine, replacing him with power , which was dominated by people of right-wing beliefs, professing the ideology of stepan bandera, a ukrainian nationalist who, in world war ii fought on the side of adolf hitler and killed tens of thousands of jews, and polyakov generally destroyed hundreds of thousands. they adopted laws prohibiting the russian language and russian culture, in general, imposing a ban on russia in all respects, if in the current ukrainian laws instead of banning russia to put a ban on the jews, it would have turned out exactly. the same legal framework that nazi germany had in the thirties of the last century. well in the west only hears what they want to hear and what they need to others in the west heard not a word about the shelling of the dnr lc. naturally, they are silent about the terrorist at

before a less and less spring, twitter suspended the account of former us intelligence officer scott ritterthe truth. what is happening in the bucha, and after buying the social network of elon maskam, he returned there and decided to check how freedom of speech works now until this post is blocked by him. i returned butch was made it a war crime, ukraine has already posted a post for a day, we will see what happens next, but it begins. regarding the negotiability of ukraine and france, this is what the former head of the parliamentary assembly, natoppierre, lelouch, said. ukraine alone cannot be trusted with the task of determining when all of this must end, this conflict has become global to energy economics, food economics and geopolitics across the planet. we may be close to a nuclear cataclysm. well, aleksey, adviser to the head of the office of president zelensky arrestovich shared his thoughts on the shadowy features of the ukrainian national character. in the national shadow side of the character of the ukrainian there is redneck redemption - this art defends its border between the

was then discussed were preventive sanctions. especially for our program, us military analyst scott ritterser to this . that it can determine when, why and how we use nuclear weapons. it's just ridiculous. it's amazing that he even had to make such a statement, it demonstrates absolute despair. this means that zelensky knows that he cannot win, that this war is over and is absolutely certain that behind the scenes officials are asking zelensky to shut up when it comes to the use of american nuclear weapons and, frankly, in a nuclear war in ukraine or any other a nation cannot tell america how to use its nuclear weapons. this is just an outright insult. he did it they didn't coordinate it with us, which means that we don't control him west not going to defend ukraine the west is going to let ukraine defend itself to the last ukrainian. and in the end, ukraine will happen the same way as with afghanistan, and it will be left zelensky should know this, perhaps he is beginning to realize this and therefore we see a statement that reflects such desperation and irrationality us president joe bid

it was cattle ritter famous military expert uh scott uh, all the best to you and uh, take care of yourself now, and here is a representative e ministry of foreign affairs maria zakharova yesterday made such a statement to listen to. at all levels, we continue to work with partners in the interests of a comprehensive normalization of relations between azerbaijan and armenia, including the unblocking of transport communications, the delimitation of the border, the negotiation of a peace treaty, the solution of humanitarian problems, the establishment of a public and expert dialogue. at the same time, the political will and consent of both parties is necessary to achieve peace. and the president of the russian the federation invited azerbaijani president ilham aliyev and armenian prime minister nikolai pashinyan to russia for the next trilateral summit, where it is planned to discuss the whole range of trilateral and bilateral issues. actually. exactly this. the main thing is that it should be in the statement, that is, there will be , uh, a summit. what expectations can there be from this me
