Scott Ritter joins Stephen Gardner on this exclusive interview to discuss the Russia Ukraine war, the conflict of Bakhmut, the bad feelings between Putin and Zelenskyy and how this war will end. Russia rained down over 80 missile on Ukraine last night after figuring out how to bypass their air defense systems. Scott Ritter and Stephen Gardner also discuss military predictions of Colonel Douglas Macgregor on how this war will end and Putin’s next military moves.

Russia is not the only country becoming demilitarized from sinking resources into Ukraine.

On February 24, China published its “Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis.” The US reacted very negatively very quickly. They reacted more negatively even than Ukraine.

The growing, partisan divide in the US over Ukraine could ultimately put an end to Biden’s political career when voters go to the polls next year, writes Professor Joseph M. Siracusa.

If the Donbass city of Bakhmut falls to the Russians the U.S. may need to save face in order to reverse course in Ukraine, writes Joe Lauria.

Both sides readying to go big militarily with nature’s thaw & place Europe on the brink of a great catastrophe

There is bipartisan agreement that the US should use Ukraine to fight Russia to the last person in Ukraine. The only dispute is over whether the US should increasingly risk every last person on earth.

As of now any end to the war is unlikely to be on better terms for Ukraine than were on offer before Russia invaded, writes Mary Dejevsky

As of the end of February 2023, one year has passed since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. The joining of the two Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to the Russian Federation preceded by several days the launching of the SMO on February 24.

Wars are started by political forces. They are promoted by propagandists, fought by soldiers and it is always the ordinary people that suffer. Wars are almost never about principle and almost always about profit in one form or another. The war in Ukraine, like all other wars has been sold to us as a struggle between the forces of good and evil. A simple message is repeated and in Goebel’s world, a lie, if big enough and if repeated loudly enough will be believed.
