So you agree that Ritter is not an expert on the geo politics of eastern europe?
That was the question at hand after all. Do you or do you not agree that Scott Ritter has no experience or expertise in the field of eastern european geopolitics, a field he now makes videos about after losing his career in the US for being a convicted pedophile and moving across the pond to work for Russian state actors, such as RT? A simple yes or no will do.
If you do think Ritter is an expert, isn't this guy even more of a trustworthy expert to you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Petraeus . After all he has written extensively about modern warfare (among them the Soviet invasion), he has even more experience at a high level both in the military and in CIA intelligence. He says that Russia is a total disaster whos invasion was essentially riddled with massive mistakes. Wouldn't you trust Petraeus more if that's your bar for being an expert?
scott ritter has a vandetta against US poltics, so what he says publicly is often a reflection of this vandetta rather than serious political and military assessment. He is a military expert, extensive background and has worked in intelligence with the soviets before you were probably born. Furthermore, i don´t care about this person, and don´t view him as a good source of information for reasons stated before but to deny his credentials is a matter of mental gymnastics.
You brining up david petraeus is telling, how out of depth you are. The persons most knowledgeable about this conflict is probably gerasimov, putin, antony blinken, lloyd austin, charles brown etc. Yet somehow putin doesn´t seem to agree with antony blinken about what will happen? How is that possible???
You are a nobody, your views are shit, all you do is regurgitate sewage. don´t @me again
