Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union..

Long before he was a weapons inspector, he worked extensively the soviet block

If you think you are more knowledgeable than him, im sorry to burst your bubble. He obviously knows his shit, but that doesn´t mean his publicly expressed views aren´t bullshit.

Ritter was an analyst on the invasion of Afghanistan (from the Soviets) and the Iraq - Iran war before his continued work in the middle east (especially revolving around munitions and WMDs). Ritter is not an expert on the geo politics of Eastern Europe and has by my knowledge never claimed to be. You are giving him credentials he himself has not accepted.

I have never said I know better than Scott Ritter when it comes to munitions (i've actually said as much in this thread), I do however have less of a vested interest in this conflict than Ritter does both economically and in terms of future career. Thats just a few facts you'll have to live with i guess.

Is he considered an Expert ? Or a Russian Shill ? Or no experience or etc etc . Probably smear him that he has Dementia since he is 94 Years Old . J

I don´t know how someone can read something, and entirely miss the meaning of what was said

Usual crap of bitching on NATO etc... Congrats.

Ukraine intends to destroy Russia's illegal Crimean Bridge in Kerch in the first half of 2024, The Guardian reported on April 3, citing anonymous sources.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/ukraine-eyes-kerch-bridge-crimea-drone-attack
==> Why so late ?

How any Ukrainian attack would unfold is unclear and there are serious doubts about whether the HUR is capable of pulling off a special operation against such a well-defended and obvious target. Russia has taken extensive measures to protect the bridge, strengthening anti-aircraft defences and deploying a “target barge” as a decoy for incoming guided missiles.

The officials indicated that western weapons would allow Ukraine to destroy the bridge more speedily and Zelenskiy has repeatedly asked Berlin for its long-range Taurus missile system. Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has so far refused, arguing that this would be tantamount to his country taking a direct role in the war with Russia, and a dangerous escalation

Taurus status?

Assuming those guys are not Putin shills paid cash by the KGB - why are they building up their reputation by going against current US foreign policy?

Eg Mearsheimer has built quite a name for himself for the last 2 years. From an obscure Chicago professor, to a regular guest on every possible podcast imaginable?

I think John has been doing it since 1990s. Podcast and Youtube streams are the in thing at the moment or at least for the past 5 years. He was already famous. But the internet blew a lot of them up onto another level.
WW3 coming , people get famous. There is probably a betting syndicate underground that are placing wagers on whether John or Kotkin is right.
