[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 18 2022]So the fat lady hasn’t sung and Ritter is no longer a Z-tard.
Speech given by Ukraine defense minister to EU defense ministers. Ukrainians are prepping for attritional fighting this summer.
Here is a recent interview with Ukrainian DoD intelligence chief.

In Russia it is illegal to refer to the special operation as a war or invasion. (Does that mean Putin has only committed special operation crimes?)
Putin needs soldiers but how does he do that if they are not at war?
I think Putin is looking for on off ramp, I doubt the steel plant victory is going to generate a surge in new recruits. China/India likely see the writing on the wall.
Here is a damning assessment of the “special op” aired on Russian TV.
In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles. pic.twitter.com/0mr7WAgSx6

“NATO Pledges Open-Ended Military Support for Ukraine Ahead of US Senate $40BN Aid Vote”
Sounds like we’re in the war.
“NY Times Blasted for Writing Ukrainian Fighters “Evacuated”, Didn’t Surrender”
Remember, “Gentleman and a scholar, loving husband and father of three” for the ISIS terrorist Bagdadhi? Good times! Ah NY Times, you so funny! No wonder you post North Korea as your beacon of freedom and hope.
Anyway, no literally, they wrote Azov “Ended their combat mission” and were therefore “Evacuated”.
Says Ukraine: “Mariupol’s defenders have fully accomplished all missions assigned by the command,” said Hanna Maliar,”
“Mariupol fighters in Russian hands; both sides claim wins …” –Denver Post
“pretty much everything coming out of Western media about the tactical progression of the war is a distortion. They’re operating within an impenetrable superstructure of ideology” -Journalist Michael Tracy
Speaking of “Impenetrable Ideology”: “Biden gives emotional speech after Buffalo shooting: ‘White Supremacy Is a Poison’”
Completely forgetting his ‘94 Crime Bill is the greatest single reason for Black oppression, poverty, and family destruction in the last 30 years. Plus helping Barry kill all those black people in Africa, and steal their houses for Wall Street back home.
From “Yuval Noah Harari | What to Do with All of These Useless People?” yesterday:
““OK, these rich people they have it good but they’re going to die, just like me.”
“but the rich people, in [50 or 100 years] they also get a exemption from death.”Same old stories: “Ye will not surely die,” the serpent told her. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God.” That’s like Genesis 1. Yet they still believe it, recycling stupid. Don’t believe me? “Never fight a land war in Asia.”

Talk to your pal Fukayama about that. Again, what’s he saying? “You will be as God.” Why does this work, or does it only work for low-IQ inbreds like our “elite”? If I came down and said, “Buy Slick Ray’s Miracle Snake Oil and Eternal Life Elixir today! Only $1B and the deaths of 100k per bottle!” Would they buy it? Because that’s what they’re doing.
“After millions of years of evolution, suddenly, within 200 years, the family and the intimate community break; they collapse. Most of the roles filled by the family and by the intimate community for thousands and tens of thousands of years are transferred very quickly to new networks provided by the state and the market.”
You guys didn’t have anything to do with that, did you? And isn’t that reversing already? Families are living together.
“The most interesting place today in the world in religious terms is Silicon Valley. … This is where the new religions are being created now by people like Ray Kurtzweil and this these are the religions that will take over the world.”
So now we know what he’s doing, his goal: he is religious zealot, an acolyte. He is promoting and installing a religious theocracy run by corporations and billionaires, renting out the government’s army to use against the People.

Both for this, and commenting on Elon yesterday, where Twitter will do ANYTHING to lose money:
“”Our jobs are at stake; he’s a capitalist and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist,” –Twitter Engineer Siru Murugesan
Exactly as Tim Pool has said:
“Ideologically, it does not make sense like, because we’re actually censoring the right and not the left. So, everyone on the right wing will be like, “Bro, it’s okay to say it; just gotta tolerate it.” The left will be like, “No, I’m not gonna tolerate it. I need it censored or else I’m not gonna be on the platform.”In other words, conservatives are willing to engage in the give and take of an open society with free speech. Leftists, however, hate that and will shut it down for everyone.
The Right is losing because they have normal human acceptance and tolerance while the Left are intolerant religious extremists.
“Twitter’s model is not set up to make a profit, leading him to believe that it’s actually being sponsored by…” Somebody, who may not be the U.S. Federal Government but is clearly the Derp State. Who else in keeping them in business at a perpetual loss?
“Macron: “We are not at war with Russia” – but White House still appears uninterested in negotiations.”
We are trying to get Europe to abandon and reject us, the United States, to grow some balls and exist. But so far they won’t and would rather commit suicide. “We” do this – that is our White Hats – because if we don’t break it, the next election they will just pop up and do it again. This needs to be a permanent break, a sea change. That means Europe has to be irrevocably done with us. Thank God. “No foreign entanglements in Europe”, the Geo. Washington version of “No land wars in Asia.”
I’m a bit conflicted about Ritter since learning (from Dexter White talking to Tom Luongo) that he’s a twice-convicted paedophile. That should be unlikely to affect his military judgment but the sudden 180 makes me wonder if he isn’t somehow being leaned on.
I didn’t highlight it so let me repeat it:
“new religions are being created now by people like Ray Kurtzweil and this these are the religions that will take over the world.”
They are violent religious extremists.
Every and every unit of gas, gasoline, diesel or oil that Eurotardistan buys in Rubles from the Russians WEAKENS the Euro as a currency via the increased demand for rubles and the corresponding lesser demand for the Euro.
Hey, it’s Math and common sense, ganging up on inbreds.
The English hatred towards Russia is because they have historically produced better writers and better scientists and have 78 TRILLION dollars worth of stored and buried natural resources on their land.
It’s a uniquely English form of Penis Envy.

IMHO, Scott Ritter is gradually adjusting to the idea that the conflict in Ukraine is not a just regional skirmish between two quarrelsome neighbors, nor is it a proxy-war between NATO and Russia. No. Ukraine is the first phase of a broader plan for crushing Russia, collapsing its economy, removing its leaders, seizing its natural resources, splintering its territory, and projecting US power across Central Asia to the Pacific Rim. Ukraine is about hegemony, empire, and pure, unalloyed power. Most important, Ukraine is the first battle in a Third World War, a war that was concocted and launched by Washington to ensure another unchallenged century of American primacy.
I recommend Whitney’s write-up for a balanced view on the true status of the war on the Eurasian steppe. As much as I value Gonzalo Lira’s perspective, I think he does let just a little bit to much Russian propaganda seep into the things he says in his videos. And as we all know, truth is the first casualty of every war ever fought. I think Russia can win, but they’re going to need rather more manpower to pull that off.
@RaulIlargiMeijer “But key ones are missing?”
Apparently so, and therefore the $64,000 question is who has the intention, the power and the finesse to actually make those key emails go missing. Not to even mention (Heaven forbid !) the unspeakably vile porn and other evidence of human (child) trafficking/abuse/worse by the same individuals who are currently having a go at crushing Russia.
If I were Vladimir Putin for a day I would use my vast spy network to hit “The Collective West” where they are the weakest : their CRIMES of every sort. Dangerous work, but, hey, what’s he got to lose?
“So the fat lady hasn’t sung and Ritter is no longer a Z-tard.”
Ritter’s is not “flipping” as he was never a “Ztard” to begin with.
He is questioning the unrealistic attempts by the Russian command to limit the conflict to a “SMO’ when the US led NATO coalition is openly running a proxy war aimed squarely at destroying the Russian state as it exists now.@FieldAble
I agree, but would add this : of the two approaches (full-on war waged by the Western cabal versus Limited Special Military Operation waged by Russia) , which one burns through the respective party’s finite resources the fastest ? In other words, which side runs out of vitally necessary stuff first?
My own opinion is that Putin (and a large bunch of other realistic Russians) is fully aware and fully willing to play the game all the way to “Last Man Standing.”
It’s one helluva game of chicken, but I’m placing my bet on the side that has gas, oil, coal, iron, wheat, fertilizer and manufacturing capacity (and relatively sane realists as citizens) versus the side with stacks of counterfeit money and mentally ill vaccinated criminal drug addicts holding most key positions from sea to shining sea.
It’s going to get spicier, for certain, but the Western Cabal (and its Eastern Cohort) will eventually lose world war 3 . . . and everybody else will win.
“I had not see this when I wrote my piece yesterday. A curious turn around” Raúl
It’s hard for everyone to keep up.
Ritter engaged in the same behavior with regard to SaddamHussein. So why shouldn’t Ritter’s nonsense continue?
As to why anyone pays attention to him, y’all will have to take a look in the mirror because Ritter’s game has been transparent. Most people recognize Marine Intel is an oxymoron and not a credential.
Tom Clancy = Scott Ritter? Perhaps…😑🥝
Reading Batiushka’s piece on the Saker blog in contrast with what we have recently learned reveals that what you read on that blog is to a very large extent Russian war-propaganda. That may contain a much larger grain of truth than what the US press is pumping out, but it is propaganda nonetheless. In Chris Martenson’s video on YouTube last week, he revealed that embargoes against Russian oil have hurt the Russian economy because Russia’s ability to get oil the Chinese and Indian customers who are willing to buy it is rather limited. Changing that situation will likely require a substantial investment in some new infrastructure. Also, it’s fair to say that Batiushka is not accurate when he claims that Russia “controls” Ukraine now. At most, Russia is on its way to controlling only the easternmost oblasts of Ukraine bordering Russia.
Russia is about to fully liberate both Donetsk and Luhansk. After a short period, I expect both to vote to join the Russia Federation.
This is a done deal at this point.
This was objective number one on the Russian agendaand it is in sight.
Because the sock puppet Zelensky refused to negotiate in good faith, Russia will now also take the entire Black Sea coast of Ukraine, land locking the Rump Ukraine into an agricultural backwater with no coast and no industry. Good luck with that.
I trust Andrei Martyanov’s military analysis more than Scott Ritter’s.
Any ‘heavy’ western weapons, like tanks, cannot arrive at the eastern front on ANYTHING less than railways.
Those railways are not working in the center and east of Ukraine, the key rail bridges and sub-stations have been blown up big time.
A Ukrainian tank driving across the Ukraine from West to East will be destroyed by Russian Air Superiority, period.
The Ukronazi have NO MOBILITY at this point, none. They re using civilian cars and SUV’s to ‘move troops’. What a joke.
So how can they move thousands of tons of weapons to eastern Ukraine, vehicles disguised as deliver bread trucks?
Here’s a Ukronazi civilian SUV ‘moving troops’ that caught the eye of a Russian tank.
The Ukronazi are stuck in place, if they have to come out from hiding behind civilian human shields into the open, this is their fate.

Well, Gonzalo Lira claims that the complete collapse of the Ukrainian military as a fighting force in imminent. While I am skeptical of that, I am really trying to keep an open mind as I attempt to piece together what is happening through the fog of war from the other side of the planet. So if Lira is right, this is something that should happen by US Memorial Day or shortly after that. If this does happen, then I probably would reconsider whether or not I should listen to Scott Ritter in the future.
A perspective which I find helpful in understanding the war in Ukraine is that NATO set it up since 2014 to exhaust and drain Russia, and was finally ready to pull the trigger , even if Russia did not take the bait and pull the trip-wire by invading.
Russia knew this, and knew that NATO could attack Russia if Russia became weakened.
Russia reserved the best troops and weapons to counter an overt NATO attack, and still does this.Russia “invaded” with 1/3 the force of the “defenders”, who were arrayed to attack, then hunker-down and drain Russia. Russia had to re-engineer modern warfare this way, working hard to wear down the foe, without being worn down.
This continues.
It looks different, and it is hard to use the usual metrics to define “winning” and “losing”.
Russia still awaits the overt war against NATO.Russian forces appear to be meat-grinding Ukrainian forces in human terms. Howitzers are getting through, but not to critically contested areas. Russian artillery has a very high rate of fire and of accuracy, which these howitzers, in Ukrainian hands, so not begin to approach, maybe 1/3 of the rate of fire, and lesser (how much less?) accuracy.
We will need to be patient and monitor the global economic situation.
I am calling this a WW-3 because the global economic and financial systems must change.
Neoliberalism did not win quickly. The Ruble rebounded. Western financial capitalism has not clearly lost yet, either, but morale in the EU is rapidly declining, since EU citizens are the ones who will have to suffer the most, and already had a bad winter, followed by a spring of insecurity.I am with Michael Hudson on this. I think the western global financial capitalist machine, which needs to expand into Russia or admit collapse/failure is being thwarted at a critical moment in history. It is already in overshoot. It is already eating itself. It has long since destroyed most of its own industry, except Tech, military, American-farming and oil. It really, really needs TROTW to keep paying those $US debts, but TROTW now glimpses a real alternative, just at a time when it must choose between paying $US debts and importing oil and wheat to feed and fuel the citizens of the debtor countries.
The choice is not obvious, though it seems obvious to me. Some countries will choose each side of the choice, and next year TROTW will monitor how the “leaders” of those countries fare, siding with globo-cap or siding with their own people and “national interests”.We will no doubt stay tuned-in here, too.

If this turns out to be true, just think what it will do to inflation!?!?!
More confidence in our criminal leaders will vanish, and what is money today but confidence?The thing is, I tend to gravitate towards sources that seem to be providing the most nuance. Sources such as Gonzalo Lira and the Saker’s blog come off as so one-sided at times that I really have to wonder just how accurate of a picture I’m getting from them. We’ll see soon enough, I guess.

(less than a minute)Rather than let Ritter’s paradoxical or diametrically opposed ruminations distract, perhaps it’s time to engage a sophomoric technique in lay psychology and go:
“Grey Rock Method? Disengage. The first rule is to disengage yourself.”If Scott Ritter is as elite an influencer as suggested on multiple websites despite his “vacillations”, then history judges Marine Rittter poorly for his historically bad first informed guess that led to Saddam Hussein’s torture, murder and the Iraq War’s destruction of 1 million people. Sure, then as now, Scott changed his mind but GWB, Colon Powell and Dick Cheney adhered to his first rumination since Scott wasn’t as persuasive enough with his regret, I suppose.
God bless him🚮
