charges and could spend to 12 years in prison. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says the west is ignoring human rights abuses perpetrated by the cranium government against the russian speaking population. while it tries to create an image of a democratic ukraine. us ignored what happened in odessa of the us, ignored the brutal assault on the mario pool on the, the assault on of the don't bus. the u. s. ignored 8 years of shelling and slaughtering of you kind of well, i mean of ukrainian civilians, russian speaking ukraine, civilians in the don't bus region. the u. s. is going to ignore what's going on today in the recently recapture territories and you know where they call it a filtration. but it's really murder they're targeting people for murder. reprisals are the lucky ones. will only go to prison for 15 years. but you know, many of them are going to get the chance to go to prison. they're being killed right now as we speak. but the u. s. ignores it because the u. s. is bought into this fantasy of ukraine as a free and democratic society. there's nothing free

let's bring in former marine corps intelligence officer, author and analyst scott ritter scott as great to have you on the program today. now, what do you make of this statement made by ukraine's deputy defense chief? i couldn't think of anything more callison insensitive to the plight of the ukrainian nation, ukrainian military and ukrainian people in short. i mean, let's just pause for a 2nd. russian defense minister showing go in his presentation. the other day spoke of the casualties that have been suffered by the ukrainian armed forces in this conflict over 60000 dead, over 40000 wounded. these are real lives that have been terminated in a conflict. it was unnecessary, could have been avoided. but it came about because of the expansion desires of nato. and now we have the ukranian deputy defense minister turning to the united states. and i am sim, he's making similar offers to the nato membership saying, hey, use my country's a test grant. now it sounds copacetic, bring the weapon in, test them in combat, and then you'll get a stamp of approval. but the reality is, bring the weapon

scott ritter format, marine corps intelligence officer, ortho knowledge. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. the latest meeting of the un security council? russia says it's has surprises in store for its former western partners, telling them not to relax. well, it's cost live now to see corresponding caleb more pin kayla. give us the main takeaways from this unusual sounding u. n. s. c meeting. sure, well it's the 2nd day in a row that we've had united nations security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations, convened a meeting regarding the situation in ukraine. now from what we understand, this will continue and there will be another meeting happening to morrow. this meeting will be taking place the following day. there will be yet another meeting on thursday to discuss ukraine. and the deputy permanent representative of russia says that russia has some surprises for western leaders. i that they will be presenting before the council. here is what deputy ambassador polanski had to say. ukraine week in the security council

our gas, scott ritter, says washington's plans to weaken russia in this conflict. have been obvious from the beginning with ukraine being used as a means to an end. we've seen the transition where we're talking about a nato army, the army that's fighting russia right now, and ukraine is no longer a ukranian army. it's a nato army. it just happens to be manned by ukrainian troops, primarily. but these ukranian troops are supported by nato intelligence by natal communications, by nato command staffs, by logistics. and there's reports that, you know, hundreds, if not thousands of a former military specialists are contracted to the ukrainian military to do specialist tasks such as operator advise on the operation of advanced nato artillery systems and things of that nature. so already that's crossed a boundary, but now what we see to is this international legion that has always been in this fight. it used to be sort of a joke, a bunch of fat, former veterans, many with no combat experience in the cranes didn't want to use them, but the international legion has been tra

let's cross live now to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott is great to have you on the program today. now we've just seen how these foreign mercenaries are both staying on line very close to the russian border. so do you think this is reckless on their part and on the part of the western government, what is your take on the situation? well, i mean, it's never a good idea if you're in the military to be posting tick, tock, videos that you know where you are and what you're doing on the battlefield. you know, we live in an, in the social media driven age. and a lot of what these guys post is propaganda. but clearly, what, what's going on here is you know, this, this new phase, you know, and we are in a new phase of this conflict. let there be no doubt what you crane pulled off this past week. so this is no longer about, you know, a ukrainian military that's, you know, trained and equipped by nato. this is a natal army that's manned by ukrainians and buy orange mercenaries. there's a large number of them, apparently participating in this c

it's not the first time scott ritter has gone against the grain.ng it all out. yes, without any rhetoric. that’s clear, so to speak, in a military way, and but when i listen to him, i always ask myself the question, when is this what he says, a those who don't want to hear it, when after all, uh, they can't. that's not it. because actually, uh, scott ritter, he's not the only one that's breaking through. we know. yes, uh, all the time. yes , some more retirees are breaking through. uh, the military say experts say, but it has not yet become a new mainstream, because there are such generals that we have seen before that, which says that it is necessary to go even further, even more so to say, so that deep into the depths of russia are applied here, and at the same time that we remember that not so long ago, and none other than the head of the state department we have stated that this is all only for use within ukraine, not outside. and ukraine, and now look, quite a bit of time has passed. and how is it all blurred, right? so blinkin promises one th

i also agree with ritter here.k that the americans do not raise doubts, that they say that this cia shopentagon. i didn’t know anything, that’s all, uh, this fairy tale for the uninformed, the cia has, of course, technical means. they have the means aerial reconnaissance, but they do not have landing craft. this is exactly what it is. i’ll correct you, when there was an incident in the bay of pigs, it was carried out, just by the central depraved administration with the help of the us navy. so exactly with the help of that’s why what the pentagon says, no, we don’t know anything that we brought combat troops there swimmers what we brought there, uh combat drones. and then we don't know what they did there. this, of course, i say, these are all fairy tales; americans have a lot of elements, vulnerable infrastructure of this those, uh, submarine cables connecting uh, europe and north america. the internet will come out, all communication channels, this is a tracking system for submarines. that is, there are a lot of

you know a lot of folks today we'res are being delivered to the ritter center would san rafael, which provides meals and medical care to hundreds of families in need? rain is on the way we're concerned at the back of the pantry might be flooded, manager jorge garcia says ahead of the weekend storm. a new sump pump has been installed. even this huge generator is standing by in case the power fails. it seems like you guys are doing everything you can ahead of the storm here. correct yes, we are. we're trying to be prepared. more prepared than last time. she was less of it was very epic, and it was very damaging to us in our services. during last october's heavy rains, the center had two ft of floodwater inside its food pantry, forcing them to close for several weeks . umbrella. nice. ambarella pulled out and then i raincoat jacket patrick terrasson, or getting free rain gear to help them. stay dry. is that going to help? oh yeah, i have some pants. i have some like rain pants. but that will be good that will complete the ensemble in santa rosa. this sandbag station is now open and ready

for marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter says the proposed testing as likely to backfire on the ukranian army. it sounds copacetic bring the weapon, then test them in combat. and then you'll get a stamp of approval, but the reality is, bring the weapons in, turn them over to ukraine military. it's not really configured to incorporate them and watch my soldiers die. that's what he should be say, watch my soldiers died because that's the result. if i was ukrainian, deputy defense minister, i'm sure i could have wonderful glossy photographs taken of the ukrainians, receiving these weapons and the trains using these weapons. but the russians would be able to counter with imagery of ukrainians di trying to use these weapons because that's the end result. ukraine is losing this conflict. you're going to use this loses conflict and there's no amount of weaponry whether proven or to be tested, that can change that outcome. and any ukranian who touches an experimental weapon, combat environment is basically setting them sentencing themselves to death. anybody in congress believes tha

scott ritter, a former us marine co intelligence of the says washington is responsible for the effect on the pipeline is based on the quiz statement. joe biden made about the us shutting them down. i think in this case we just go to the one party you actually made a confession. that's the united states president joe biden february, 8th of this year, stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, that united states would shut down the north stream to pipeline. and when asked why he could do, how we could do that, it wasn't as a german allied cetera. he said, we'll shut it down. it appears that joe biden is, in this case, at least a man of his word. 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, etc. and we're going to demand that the north strea

all of this as former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says he believes that the deleted tweet of the former polish foreign minister reveals washington had a hand in what happened. i don't think sikorsky sat in on any meetings. i don't think sikorsky at any insider knowledge. i think of course you're just stating the obvious with the pipeline was blown up. he knew it was the united states. well, i think in this case we just go to the one party. you actually made a confession. that's the united states president joe biden february, 8th of this year, stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, that united states would shut down the north stream to pipeline. and when asked why he could do how he could do that, it wasn't as a german allied center. he said, we'll shut it down. it appears that joe biden is, in this case, at least a man of his word. 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 b

alleged sabotage as the north stream pipelines. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter believes that the deleted tweets of the former polish foreign minister that washington had a hand in what happened. i don't think sikorsky said it on any meetings. i don't think sikorsky any insider knowledge. i think of course, you're just stating the obvious with the pipeline was blown up. he knew did it, it was the united states. i think in this case we just go to the one party you actually made a confession. that's the united states president joe biden february, 8th of this year, stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, it's united states would shut down the north stream to pipeline. and when asked why he could do that, how he could do that. it wasn't as a german now, et cetera. he said, we'll shut it down. it appears that joe biden is, in this case, at least a man of his word. there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out and be, have the incentive, you know, the united states was confronted with the fact

use of many new from fall out of scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officers, says it using computer game images to the big russian nuclear missiles is unthinkable using the computer game. to illustrate this, all they did is a is trivialized. the issue would turn it into something that you know, becomes believable. well, i mean people wake up when it impacts them. it's sometimes it might be difficult to, especially in europe to project the reality of ukrainian battlefield. many people still will think in terms of, you know, abstracts doesn't really impact them. but when you speak about putting a nuclear weapon on european soil, it's a wake up call. this is what happened in 19 eighties when germany and the rest of europe woke up to american nuclear doctrine, which would be employing tactical nuclear weapons on german soil. stop a soviet advance is why the german said no, we're doing forward defense because we don't want you nuking german soil. i think right now of people are waking up saying, we don't want nukes, used at all in europe. u. s. congress has reached a preli

the conflict with the cross fucking the current situation in ukraine, i'm joined by my guest, scott ritter in del mar. he's a former intelligence officer in united nations weapons inspector in washington. we have michael maloof. he is a full repenting on security policy analysts. and in london, we cross the real consult. he is founder of a consulting and a foreign affairs analyst. i gentleman cross talk rules and effects. that means you can jump in anytime you want. i always appreciate scott, let me go to you 1st here. the title of this program is catalyst. okay. what do i mean by that? we had these recent successes on the part of the ukrainians in the conflict. we were not expecting that, but then in retrospect, maybe a lot of people shouldn't be surprised. on the back of it, we had part of the energy grid in ukraine. go out. was that a message? we don't know, it will continue. we don't know. but over the last week or so, is this a catalyst to go from the special military operation to something else? and we've talked about this before. go ahead scott. no, i, i think you're right. i back i

a military analyst or scott ritter believes regrettably, the west is involved in a type of proxy war with russia. and the unfortunate staging ground is ukraine. the army, the fighting russia right now in ukraine is no longer a ukrainian or a nato, or it just happens to be manned by ukrainian, proved, or supported by nato. intelligence, by nato communications, by nato command, staffed by natal logistics, and by or in the mercenaries. there is a large number of them, apparently participating in this current offensive. they played a role and penetrating the russian defense is carrying outraged behind the russian lines and you know, doing some of the. ready reconnaissance work, et cetera. so they're an active participant in this conflict. the u. s. is willing to fight russia to the last ukranian. he doesn't care about ukraine when it cares about is doing as much damage to russia as possible, and they're using ukrainian conflict to achieve their goal and objective. ah, to have been coals in turkey for the government to stop sending weapons to ukraine . thought for a website linked to be u

earlier i spoke with former marine corps intelligence officers, scott ritter, who was concerned that the us may be involving efforts to calm down on such global voices or position. they're not just calling. so in a rush propaganda, so that's all they're calling somebody a terrorist and demanding that actually be taken to, to respond to these people as if they were terrorists. ok. they're calling for the liquidation of these p, let's deaf murder, sas nation. so this isn't just games, this isn't just word games isn't just, you know, ukrainian sitting back in ukraine calling you know, calling names. i don't care what they call me. i am a little concerned when my government empowers them, pays the organizes the meetings and then sits back end of facilitates legitimizes, their actions. this is in the front not only to free speech, but this is my government in effect, empowering political terrors of if it wasn't the ukrainian government, let's say this was al qaeda or isis. we put putting bombs on their facility. that's what we do to terrorists. we kill them. ukrainian government is a terr

centers, demonstrating maturity and restraint, a former officer of the american intelligence scooter ritter said about this interview . what will be the reaction of the west to such strikes? the community will most likely react negatively to this, which, in turn, can both demoralize the west and push it to fight. now the news of the economy alexander russia will not sell energy carriers at a loss , as stated in the ministry of energy. at the same time, the west is trying to set a price ceiling for our hydrocarbons. tell me when these restrictions will come into effect tatyana on oil the us expects to activate the mechanism on december 5, but for now i'll start with news from the tourism sector. the european union today completely suspended the agreement on simplification of the visa regime. with russia now the production of a short-term visa. it can take up to 45 days instead of ten; its cost has increased from 35 to 80 euros. countries also have the right to require additional documents. about the conditions for a multiple entry visa should become more stringent permission to enter for non

we spoke with a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who says everyone who is on ukraine's notorious blacklist could full victim to a targeted killing. united states funds this activity we pay for it to. there's not a civil servant in ukraine today who salary isn't paid for by monies appropriate by the u. s. congress. when a blacklist was published by the u. s. funded center for countering dis information on july 14th of this year. it was a published any round table meeting that was organized by an american funded non governmental organization that had been set up by the united states congress. and the meeting was attended by representatives of the united states state department, an existing list, the so called peace seekers on and on this list. not only was darya, davina is name there. my name is now there. other americans names are on this list, and this isn't just a simple smearing of main calling list. this is an assassination list. we know this because there are 2 geena was assassinated. so anybody whose name is on this list, this peacekeepers are peace maker

of course live out to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott, thanks for your time today. ma'am. now do you think it's acceptable for a news channel to use computer game images? it illustrates real life scenarios on the one hand, it could be considered to be quite amusing. do you think there are a series of undertones to this? was extremely serious undertone. first of all, france is one of the permanent nuclear powers or the at that, you know, earlier this year said that nuclear war can't be one. therefore, it should never be fought. so one would think that that principle would, you know, service the foundation of, you know, any, any french effort to discuss nuclear weapons and the potential for, for their employment on the battle for by using the computer game. to illustrate this, all they did is it is trivialized. the issue would turn it into something that you know, becomes believable as opposed to something that could be unthinkable. what, what just how serious is this? sabre rattling this nuclear saber rattling that's coming from bot

former united nations weapons inspector scott ritter is now anxiously reviewing footage of the detonationsar bomb, some nato leaders are already openly talking not only about the use of nuclear weapons in response to a russian nuclear attack, but also about the possibility of a pre-emptive strike that would prevent a russian victory over ukraine before joining the un scott served in the pentagon and was an intelligence officer. and, of course, he knows by what principle the gears of the american military machine rotate. i think that first of all it is necessary to understand that this is not a conflict between russia and ukraine - this is a conflict between russia and nato, we are waiting for radical territorial changes to the donbass in the kherson zaporizhzhya regions. referendums are now underway, according to ritter western leaders who now unanimously condemn this plebiscite and i deeply regret the choice made by president putin in recent hours. at the same time, they are well understood. why are these referendums being held? i think it's time for the us and europe and nato to ask you

referendums are now being held, according to ritter, the western leaders, who now unanimously condemni deeply regret the choice made by president putin in the last hours. at the same time, they are well understood. why are these referenda held? i think for usa and europe and nato it's time to ask you the fundamental questions. are they ready to sacrifice something more for the sake of ukraine, does ukraine play such an existentially significant role that the united states is ready to sacrifice its very existence to protect it from and the famous american scientists professor of new york university michael rektin, wald, heard in putin's speech about a very, clear message to the west, if nato or ukraine itself continues to fight for these territories, which proclaim themselves part of the russian federation, this will be regarded as serious encroachment and mortal threat to russia and also as an invasion of its territory, so i think this is a very serious ultimatum from the us and nato and in particular ukraine should not treat this as a simple bluff, the us department of justice this w

seem that europe is excited about this thing. former us marine corps intelligence officers, scott ritter says that until hostilities in ukraine find the end no security guarantee is possible on any deal would need to consider russian security interests . that the thing is, how do you guarantee security when a conflict is already underway, or what guarantee can you provide one day? you're not part of the conflict the next day. you are, if this was implemented, i'm with the conflict still under way. in short, nation signing on is guarantors of security. would be declaring war against russia, and that is suicide. so it literally isn't going to happen until there's actual cessation of hostilities. only then does a security guarantee a make any sense. otherwise, literally anybody signing on as a guarantor of ukraine security while ukraine is engaged in military operations against russia is signing a declaration of war. and i just think that so absurd, that no serious person would ever consider when the united states in europe and nato dismissed the russian proposals. russia had no choice but

meeting tonight of the un security council regarding the sabotage on the north stream pipelines, scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence offers, seized out the former polish mister. it stated the truth in his deleted tweet, and the washington is likely responsible for the attack. i don't think sikorsky sat in on any meetings. i don't think sikorsky had any insider knowledge. i think of course, you're just stating the obvious with the pipeline was blown up. he knew it was the united states. i think in this case we just go to the one party you actually made a confession. that's the united states president joe biden february, 8th of this year. us stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, that the united states would shut down the north stream to pipeline. and when asked why he could do that, how he could do that. it wasn't as a german ally, et cetera. he said, we'll shut it down. it appears that joe biden is, in this case, at least a man who was word. there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out and be, have

we heard from a messy alice scott ritter, who says the west is involved in the conflict. the fact, so using ukrainian soldiers to fight russia. the army that's fighting russia right now and ukraine is no longer a ukranian army. it's a nato army. it just happens to be manned by ukrainian troops. are supported by nato. intelligence by natal communications, by nato command staffs, by natal logistics, and buy orange mercenaries. there's a large number of them, apparently participating in this current offensive. they played a role and penetrating the russian defense is carrying outraged behind the russian lines and, you know, doing some of the reconnaissance work, et cetera. so they're an active participant in this conflict. but the u. s. is willing to fight russia to the last ukraine. he doesn't care about ukraine when he cares about is doing as much damage to russia as possible, and you're using the ukrainian conflict to achieve that goal. and objective of course, london in the dumbass spoke with a cap for the cleaning. a soldier that says he was fighting alongside farm must

well, by deduction and by comments made by president biden in early february, as my friend scott ritter pointed out this, that pretty well tells the tale. who might have been engaged? i think we are going to have, they would have had to have been very big explosions. it would have had been a, a, a nation state of sometime that had that capability to do to do that kind of activity. and i, i don't think it would have been ukraine or as off, but who knows that do they have that capability that has to be assessed? i don't know. but my, you know, if you do know sort of jump in quickly, but you do know the person has a tendency in recent years of something like tit for tat. you expel our bathroom, we expel your ambassador. i mean, is on many, many levels of that. it goes tit for tat. is it possible that could be some sort of tip a top play in response to the sabotage of the military and pipelines? well, it could be, it could be the just the enhancement of a, of activity in ukraine. that's what i envision immediately. i don't think he'll do anything toward the nato countries, per se. and of co
