Scott Ritter & Nima Alkhorshid: Ukraine Collapsing on All Fronts and NATO's Strategy Being Completely Defeated (7-20-2024)

https://rad-patriot.com/scott-ritter-nima-alkhorshid-ukraine-collapsing-on-all-fronts-and-nato-strategy-being-completely-defeated/ (This very thoughtful discussion is a hard reality check on the significance of NATO, Europe, Germany, France, UK, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and their military postures in today's world. Of course, we all know that the USA is a member of NATO and NATO is simply an extension of US policy. Today NATO is only trying to impress itself and how important it is in the world, which is far removed from reality.

The German, French & UK militaries are shrinking. Also, because they haven't been maintained, they are rotting at the core, just like a house infected with termites. NATO can't even generate enough military equipment & ammo to supply the needs of Ukraine. Throwing more $money into Ukraine doesn't help, since Ukraine is losing more soldiers every week than they can possibly replace. Even sending in old F-16 fighters will only accelerate the defeat of Ukraine. This is all a pipe dream with no substance to back them up. NATO is panicking.

President Eisenhauer warned about the dangers of the military-industrial-congressional complex in 1961. After WW2, in order to maintain our military, we have pursued a policy of conflict & wars around the world. There is not a single place where we have promoted peace.

Back in the 1980s, the US had the best military in the world. We needed massive fuel, ammo & other supplies to support the types of Cold War conflicts envisioned and were geared up to provide this. But when the Cold War ended, we cut back significantly since that is very expensive. Now we are not in a position to fight any major sustained war. To think otherwise if folly.

Scott's daughter studied at Georgetown University. Last December he took her to Russia, Georgia, Chechnya & related areas to give her some first hand experiences, since her studies were focused on those areas. She got to meet many very influential people and had substantive discussions & was even invited to their homes. But when she got back, Georgetown University ostracized her in very cruel ways, instead of having discussions to better understand what she had learned. Contrary to Georgetown saying that they had an 'open mind' about what is happening in the world, they demonstrated exactly the opposite.

Whether you agree with China's Belt & Road initiatives or Russia's BRICS & SCO focus, these countries are taking the opposite approach to our focus on chaos & war.

Unfortunately, the US is currently the greatest threat to peace in the world today. Our military-industrial complex and foreign policy can't be sustained by peace. Peace is our enemy. It will require major changes for us to switch from a war footing to a peace initiative. Unless we make these changes, we will destroy our country.

I would encourage you to take the time to thoughtfully listen to this discussion by Scott & Nima. Scott is a student of history and was a Marine with significant involvement in the Iraq war and helping implement the INF Treaty.)
