as we raise the whole issue with a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. i couldn't think of a more absurd statement. it wasn't. russia withdrew from the anti ballistic missile treaty. it wasn't russia that withdrew from the intermediate nuclear forces treaty . it's not russia that's actively violating the new start treaty. it's not russia promulgated a nuclear posture which allows for preemptive use of nuclear weapons and non nuclear situations. it's not russia that's threatening to field a new generation of nuclear weapons into europe that threatens, you know, a moscow within 5 to 7 minutes. a, you know, from launch. it's the united states. it's fueling. this is lloyd austin, is trying to say that the situation in ukraine is a feeling, you know, an increase in nuclear tension. then the united states should have thought about that when it refused to put pressure on ukraine to implement the minster course. when you have a problem, a rather than acknowledge your problem and seek to a fix this problem, you simply throw that problem at the other side and try

but we spoke with former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he believes by relocating the troops. russia's deprive ukraine of a pretext for destroying the dan. if russia remained on the right bank and continued to defeat ukrainian attacks the ukrainians once their forces spent might come to the conclusion that the only hope they have in preventing a rushing counter attack is to destroy the dam in flood the region. so i think this is a, a prophylactic move on the part of the russians to prevent the ukrainians trying to have justification for blowing up the damn. and the russians had been preparing for this by evacuating the civilian population and critical infrastructure. so it's not like the russians just made this up. the russians have been pointing out for some time now of the risk that is accrued by any forces and civilians. imagine next, let's say the russians didn't evacuate and next week the damage is struck by ukrainians . and is breached. now, the russian leadership has to explain why they didn't evacuate, why they didn't get the civil

but former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter safe. warsaw may have turned to south korea because washington didn't live up to polish expectations. poland was asked to give up. so it's so he had era equipment, t $72.00 tanks and another job combat capability. a to ukraine on the expectation that the polar would receive modern tanks and as a replacement and was hoping for the in one o abrams tank. and this was not forthcoming. so what poland is doing is taking matters in your own hands. going to south korea who produces a tank, that is the equivalent of the m one. we're, we're not in a position to replace the soviet era equipment that we best of many european nations to pride to ukraine. so i think they're gonna start looking to south korea to get the some of these weapons that they've been seeking. yeah, that's as u. s. analysts have sounded the alarm over europe turning to so for arms on the financial hit that would entail the side korean president recently shared plans for his country joining the world's top for a weapon, suppliers. but the outlet for the current leader

alone, around 8 times more than russian losses. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter sais that by relocating troops. russia is depriving ukraine of its pretext for destroying the dom. i think another thing that the russians are doing, by withdrawing from the right bank is reducing or eliminating the justification that ukraine could have been blowing up the damn. now the russia is evacuating the city of care song and the right bank. there's no reason for your grain to, to blow this damn. so i think rushes literally removing any justification ukraine could because of russia, remained on the right bank and continued to defeat ukrainian attacks the ukrainians once their forces spent might come to the conclusion that the only hope they have in preventing a rushing counter attack is to destroy the dam in flood the region. so i think this is also a, a prophylactic move on the part of the russians to prevent the ukrainians trying to have justification for blowing up the damn. well, the president of ukraine's biggest ally, the united states wasn't exactly on the ball when talk

we heard from a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who said is difficult for russia to believe that the u. s. would indeed. busy adhere to its commitments. i think one of the big obstacles that will be necessary to overcome from the russian perspective is trust. can the united states be trusted to adhere to its commitments? i'm given what happened with the i n f treaty, where frankly speaking, we lie to the russians about the ages of shore system that we said was only so surface that you know air anti missile system. but in fact, less than a month after the treaty at we got out of treaty, we tested a ground launch cruise missile from the system. something the russian set was always a capability. that's what ours reduction in our control treat her about. it's about getting rid of weapons, not trading the conditions where weapons and continue to exist, or expands rushes. very concerned, for instance, about the he 61, a thermal nuclear weapons at the united states, currently maintains in europe, under the nato nuclear umbrella. a russia would very much like to fi

when we got the thoughts of former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who says america is trying to pin the blame for its own problems anywhere and everywhere except at home search statement. it was in russia, the withdrew from the anti ballistic missile treaty. it wasn't russia that withdrew from the intermediate nuclear forces trade. it's not russia that's actively violating the new start treaty. it's not russia the promulgated a nuclear posture, which allows for preemptive use of nuclear weapons and non nuclear situations. it's not russia that's threatening to field a new generation of nuclear weapons into europe that threatens, you know, a moscow within 5 to 7 minutes a from launch a. it's the united states. it's fueling. this is lloyd austin, is trying to say that the situation in ukraine is feeling it, you know, an increase in nuclear tension. then the united states should have thought about that when you refuse to put pressure on your crane to implement the minster course . when you have a problem, rather than acknowledge your problem and seek to a fix this probl

they have already led further everything in the logic of the state, because ritter said.antly, he said that the russian army is preparing, right? so that's the day of the week. i don't know when the russian army will be ready. well, this is going to be a tough fight. you see, dmitry, this will be it. and we are discussing here badly, so that we are talking about 21 the date of 2013, but even worse is what may be ahead and we can’t influence it in any way. e. well, what do you mean we can't? well, we can do see. here in russia the doors are open for conversations , please, but uh, they just explained everything, here with all your wishes for the first year and everything else, well, goodbye. goodbye. since the ninety-first year, we will not discuss anything more, here is peskov, the presidential press secretary that week and today repeats clearly russia will achieve its goals, it will achieve them at least through the negotiation process. though holding your own. here, in fact, that's all. and i, if allow me to touch on another topic, i was walking, when i already looked a
