I hope Scott is right. As the Kherson offensive came into play I figured if I was the Russian commander I would be more than happy to trade land for blood - let the Ukrainians come to me, let them advance into salients and then cut them off and grind them down. The goal of warfare is to break the will of the enemy to resist, and heavy casualties in a failed offensive are more valuable than land in that regard.

So I hope this is what is happening, to force Ukraine to break with the globalist oligarchs and restore ties and stability with Russia. The alternative is that NATO weaponry does force Russia back, putting them in the same position as when NATO originally sought to put a boot on Russia's neck. That will be just as intolerable to Russians in the future as it was in the past. Only this time with fewer options we will more likely see a stronger response, such as significant use of tactical nukes or a broader war to turn things around.

What would a broader war consist of?

Escalation by Russia will just increase support for Ukraine and decrease interest in Russia as an economic partner. That’s a dead end for Russia. Putin has painted himself into a corner and Russia is paying in blood for his bungling military strategy.

—”Ritter the pedophile.”

When did he get out of prison?

Here it is:
Ritter rejected a plea bargain and was found guilty of all but the criminal attempt count in a courtroom in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on April 14, 2011.[2][36] In October 2011, he received a sentence of 1½ to 5½ years in prison.[37] He was sent to Laurel Highlands state prison in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, in March 2012 and paroled in September 2014.[38][34][31]

Why in the world would you want Scott Ritter to be right?

He is saying in response to Russia’s defeat they are going to mobilize more Russians and Double down.

That means an EXPANSION to the war.

Wouldn’t it be way better if Russian just Said “F This we are out”?

Ritter is an RT mouthpiece for Putin. If you aren’t being paid by Putin, Wishing for an expanded war is pretty F-d up...unless you ar are personally invested in some kind of Russian “victory”, which is also pretty F-d Up.

Putin is fighting for himself and not “against Globalists”.

When HE started the war, the Globalist plan already was over (The Globalists were poking him, thinking he would back down).

Since We had an actual war, the Globalist plans are screwed and the New Ukraine that emerges will 1) be nationalist and 2) never give up their guns... ever, which is the Globalist Nightmare. Do you think Putin will let the Ukrainians keep their guns? Think this through for a second. Yeesh.

We all should want Russia to give up... unless we have some type of Gay man crush on Putin and can’t quit him.

“The Ukrainians have no air cover.”

Apparently they don’t need much air cover.

Why would Russia give up? Makes no sense. NATO is out of control, riots coming soon during the cold winter. Of course good old Klaus and the WEF do want to get rid of a few billion, so it does make sense. Happy NWO, blessings.

Why would Russia give up?

When the Russian people fianlly find out 100,000 Russian kids died for nothing, who knows?

The Russian people think things are going great and only a couple thousand Russians have died fighting those mean old Nazi's.

How would we feel if it turned out 100,000 America soldiers died in Iraq in 2003?

I'm pretty sure GWB would have been publicaly hanged and there would have been bipartisan cheering as his head popped off Saddam style

This week's defeats aren't the first Russia has suffereed. They were 1 mile from Kiev, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernhiv and had to retreat from all, losing 10's of thousands of soldiers in the process.

Putin fans on FR act like none of those previous defeats ever happened and thing are going great, just like Russian people. Blissfully ignorant.

Nonsense, Where the hell you get your info? NPR, CNN, MSNBC? It is the other way around. So many lies from the media and you just gobble it up, sad. We started the war in 2014 and that is a fact.

I’d estimate Russia has lost at least 40,000 soldiers KIA and Putin-bots are wanting him to “mobilize” and double down, so 100,000 seems like an achievable number of deaths in 2022. His yes men are telling him “Go for it, Vlad!”

I don’t watch the MSM, I watch the video’s posted by Soldiers on the ground.

Every night since February 25th I’ve seen 10-20 videos of Russians being killed. Lots of Russians being killed. I’m sure I’m seeing only a tiny Fraction of those being killed.

Just tonight there was a Hilarious Video of a Russian Tank Flying through a Uke Convoy, while getting shot at, with Russians being shot & falling off the tank onto the road, then the tank crashes into a tree and 60 foot tall tree falls directly onto the Russians still hanging onto the top of the tank. Pure Russian Comedy gold. Maybe 3-10 dead Russian total, maybe they all survided and are Uke prisoners, now.. don’t care either way... but some Russian Babuska does.

40,000 killed, 100,000 wounded Russians seens in line with what I have seen. Maybe Ukraine has lost twice this, but the Ukrainian people KNOW their soldiers are dying fighting for THEIR country. The Russian people have NO IDEA.

Russia losing 40,000 troops would be the equivalent of the US losing 90,000 troops... in only 6.5 months. What US war has that happened in the last 150 year?

They haven’t lost ANY for us. They may have lost some BECAUSE of us, but that is water under the bridge. The HIMARS we are giving them is a downpayment on an apology for Obama’s CIA screwing up their country.

Ukes are fighting for their country. Russia troops are begining to realise they are fighting for nothing.

I’m confident Scott Ritter will come out in the next couple days and say “everything is going to plan” because RT is paying him to say that (and he’s become a tool).
