reported elimination of over 300 foreign mercenaries, former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, believes ukraine's high number of casualties is discouraging volunteers. it's an oppressive amount of casualties, which has a chilling effect on those who might be seeking to serve their country voluntarily . nobody wants to sign up for a losing cars. and right now is quite clear that ukraine is losing this war with russia losing in a big way. and it's costing them a lot of a lot of lives. and we have plenty of reports of territorial units refusing to fight because they say they're not properly trained properly equipped. and that is indicative of the emergency that's that confronting the ukrainians in terms of this manpower shortage. and one only needs to take a look at the stories that are being prioritized by the ukrainian government and their western allies. and, you know, we, we hear talk of the fantastic morale of ukrainian troops. leads me to believe that morales, not there. fantastic. we hear about them building up massive forces in preparation for a counter attack that never

and if key of even agrees to that in the 1st place from us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says the ukranian shelling is a risky attempt to force russia to abandon the plans. this is a coordinated policy. and that makes it even more frightening, because this isn't just the case of ukrainian government going out of control. this is the case of the international community going out of control. the goal objective here is to accomplish through nuclear blackmail that which ukrainian army is unable to accomplish on its own. that is to remove russia from the separation nuclear power plant. the amazing thing is that throughout russia's control of the separation nuclear power, plant, the reactors that have been in operation, i think right now only 2 of the 6 remain in operation. have been providing power to ukraine. it's a very dangerous situation. and it's one that is going to be very difficult to, you know, to conclude if, as it appears the west is, you know, work working collaboration with kids as opposed to see back and observing irresponsible behavior on the part of kids they'

removed from around, the facility will be heard from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he says the u. n. is engaged in a game of blackmail. so this is the coordinated policy. and that makes it even more frightening because this isn't just the case of ukrainian government going out of control. this is the case of the international community going out of control. the golden objective here is to accomplish through nuclear blackmail that which ukrainian army is unable to accomplish on its own. that is to remove russia from the separation nuclear power plant. it's a very dangerous situation. and it's one that is going to be very difficult to, you know, to conclude if, as it appears the west is, you know, work the work heating collaboration with kiev, as opposed to sitting back in observing responsible behavior on the part of kit food traded for sex young women raped children abandoned, and you report implicates united nations peacekeepers and years of abuse and the democratic republic of congo largely targeting civilians living in destitution me. i lost my daughter who died

military aid to kev and committed to $25000000000.00. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says there's a real danger of american weapons flooding the european union. all it takes is one javelin missile, getting the hands of the wrong people. and you could have a dead political leader in europe. all it takes is one sting or anti or missile. and you have a airliner shot down and we have the potential of having dozens, if not more, of these highly lethal weapons, man, portable weapons, weapons fit the trunk of a car. you know, flooding europe. it's too late. you can't put that genie back in the bottle. i mean, things can be done going forward to, to try to control these weapons. but, you know, the problem isn't so much the lack of a system of accountability on the part of the united states. the problem is ukraine . it's one of the most corrupt places on the planet. a nation that should broiled and war were the norms of the rule of law have gone out the window. we don't think what happens when those weapons making mans of al qaeda and isis and are turned on americans in our a

we heard from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who starts the u. n. is engaged in a game of blackmail pushed by a key f and western powers to force russia away from the planned. so this is a coordinated policy. ok. and that makes it even more frightening, because this isn't just the case of ukrainian government going out of control. this is the case of the international community going out of control. the goal and objective here is to accomplish through nuclear blackmail that which ukrainian army is unable to accomplish on its own. that is to remove russia from the separation of nuclear power plant. it's a very dangerous situation. and it's one that is going to be very difficult to, you know, to conclude if, as it appears the west is, you know, work working collaboration with kiya as opposed to sitting back and observing irresponsible behavior on the part of kit and intense fighting on the front lines in dawn bass, where a russian lead forces are reaching major ukrainian strongholds in that region. as we understand our russian and on that square publi

officially sticking to its one china policy, we discussed the controversial us actions with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer, tad ca independent arms control and conflict consultants says that policies visit was an ill time stage provocation. the idea of having a one china policy and then leaving it good and well alone. maintaining the strategic ambiguity has been the backbone of us policy for decades and it's largely works. and taiwan is prospered under that policy. so the idea that nancy pelosi somehow needs to go in and rectify a situation that's been working just fine, is bizarre. this was an unnecessary and thoughtless provocation based on the actions of someone who won't be the speaker of the house much longer at age. 82, even if the democrats managed to hold on to the house of representatives in november, elections, if this is about or putting your footprints in the sands of history, it's remarkably, the old time. i think it's extraordinary that we're seeing a distance thing of the us administration of the executive function in the u. s. to, with the leg

we cross live now to former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter reports they that ukraine has failed and it's attempted offensive in the countries south losing hundreds of soldiers. any suggestion as to why this failed? first of all, i think did so we're early on in the so this offensive or not all the information's in some indications are the ukrainians have failed. there are some indications that there have been localized successes. but what we do know is that the fighting continues. i think ultimately ukraine will fail because while you, while most military are able to achieve localized temporary superiority it for a counter offensive to succeed, it's going to be able to sustain, sustain success. and ukraine simply doesn't have the resources to sustain any successes if indeed any success is actually a place. so, you know, it's early on and no reason to doubt of the, the, the russian ministry of defense when it says that the offense has failed. but the fighting still on going i think, you know, it's going to take some time yet before we know what the failure of ukrainian

well, i spoke with a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who starts the korean peninsula is facing dangerous times, with saber rattling by washington and its allies sole, only exacerbating already existing tensions in that part of the world. i think the fact that these military drills are, are back means that every everything donald trump accomplished in terms of opening the door for diplomacy has been swept off the table. so it's a very dangerous situation. again, this is ill advise policy on the part of south korea in bad advice if it, if it's, it being given by the united states. these demonstrations are, are reflect with the fact that there's a significant percentage of the south korean population that was looking forward to reconciliation. there were many south koreans that were hopeful that there could be a, you know, a termination of conflict, the better in relations, a potential reunification down the road. and of what they're seeing right now is just, you know, a giant step backwards. this is not good for patients to bill. are dropping out the program a

from the us marine corps intelligence officers, scott ritter again, told us the world needs to take urgent action to prevent ukraine from creating a disaster. this is a war zone that has significant air defense. i can guarantee that the air defense units of both ukraine, russia and the nato nations monitoring the situation every corded and tracked the incoming artillery. so this, this has already answered. there is no question. it's simply ukrainian government, muddy the waters for a political, rich relations purchase. and in the world, the super pressure on ukraine, you know, business, you're responsible. this is not self defense. this is putting the world at risk. this is ukraine holding the world hosted mitigation of a nuclear disaster in a time of war is nearly impossible. so not only would the disaster occur, but you wouldn't get the kind of concerted focus of emergency response that you had for instance, with your normal. so this thing to just spiral out of control, this is a very dangerous situation. oh, a gaza is islamic johan group has reportedly loans move in a 100 ra case, a sim

guest: on the estimate of how many immigrants are coming to the united states at ritter virtually all of its restrictions, it is hard to model something like that. estimates range over a very long time. i seen estimates by eight economist in 2018 -- by eight economist in 2018. who basically have a 500 year production -- projection. he estimates it at 800 billion. take that for what it is worth. if you get to look at surveys that have done more recently, wonder 50 million people in the world say -- 150 million people in the world say they want to move to the united states. a lot of those people want to end up moving if they have the opportunity. the truth of the matter, we do not really know. we should be skeptical of any estimates about the number, given that we are going from a system that the days of ellis island are long over. they ended over a century no. legal immigration is the second most complicated portion of u.s. law, second to income tax. they are extraordinarily restricted, even compared to other oil-rich countries. the u.s. is extremely restrictive when it comes to immigr

and if key of agrees we're going live now to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. why isn't the west pressuring ukraine to stop shelling the nuclear power plant? what's your take on that? well, we know, for instance, the shilling began and august 5th, and we know that on august 1st, us secretary state entity, blink and a began raising the issue of the separation nuclear power plant. with it, with an eye on getting some sort of international representation to create a demilitarized zone. so this is a coordinated policy and that makes it even more frightening because this isn't just the case of ukrainian government going out of control. this is a case of the international community going out of control. the goal and objective here is to accomplish through nuclear blackmail that which ukrainian army is unable to accomplish on its own. that is to remove russia from the separation of nuclear power plant. it's a very dangerous situation, and it's one that is going to be very difficult to, you know, to conclude if, as it appears the west is, you know, work working collab

all right, let's now cross live to scott ritter, former marine corps intelligence officer. hi scott, so i'm in army recruitment center chief and cab has admitted that the number of volunteers has decreased significantly. what do you make of the reasons for that? well, i think to, to delve into that one only needs to reference some documents that are ordered to come from the ukraine, the ministry of defense that indicated the casualties that the ukraine has suffered so far in this conflict exceed 190000. and that's just for the ukranian army that doesn't include other forces like the border guards, et cetera, which could bring the total casualties closer to a quarter of a 1000000 men. ukraine started this conflict with 260000 active duty forces, around 600000 reserves. and so we were talking about a precipitous loss of, of, of, you know, fighting forces. we don't know what to blend is how many of those were a regular forces. how many were territorial forces, but it's a, it's an oppressive amount of casualties, which has a chilling effect on those who might be seeking to serv

here with our tea crossing live out a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, joining us here on the program. great to see you today. what do you, what do you think the purpose of these drills are? well, the states maintains a significant no robust military capability and, and south korea there combat troops and combat troops in order to be fair for combat. have to train, they have integrated there. they are fully integrated with the south, their south korean counterparts. so they have to train with their south korean counterparts. so that's what's going on. right now. when donald trump came in the office is north koreans made it clear that they were not happy with these drills. because some of these drills incorporate exercises that portend it. to be stimulating. a preemptive computation strike against the north korean leadership and koreans weren't happy about that. the a deal was made to scale down and then eventually terminate in exchange for talks on the nuclear ization. i think the fact that these military drills are, are, are back means that every everything don
