Yep. And not just Ritter. Loads of 'em. Berletic, as usual, a light in the darkness.

Talk is always trumped [:O)] by action.

The last working-class hero in England.

From Simplicius .. what Ritter says:

I’ve lost faith in the good faith of the Trump negotiating team. A 30-day ceasefire would be a boon to Ukraine. A chance to stabilize the frontlines. To strip all tactical and operational advantages Russia has accrued through the blood and sacrifice of their soldiers. And once Ukraine recovers, then to sit at a table where a rejuvenated Ukraine rejects Russia’s conditions for peace.

Trump’s team has not negotiated in good faith. And the fact that this proposal is offered after Ukraine carries out a massive strike against Moscow? Russia will reject this ridiculous proposal. And hopefully escalate the violence to such a scale that the US will realize that there needs to be a realistic peace proposal agreed to in writing before any ceasefire takes hold. One that includes the withdrawal of all Ukrainian forces from Constitutional Russia. The Ukrainian troops can leave voluntarily. Or die. Trump isn’t serious about peace. And Ukraine will reap the whirlwind as a result.

...but as far as I know, the interview didn't happen.
I say as far as I know, because I didn't get to listen to the whole show...missed a few bits here and there.
Doesn't sound like he's a happy bunny!

Re: Thanks...Ritter was meant to be on MOATS last night: He was on!

It seems that Ritter thinks Trump is playing 4D chess. Not sure about the timeline with respect to Simplicius' quote. Anyways, we'll all know tomorrow for sure when RF and US have direct talks.

And not a mea culpa from Ritter in sight. nm

"NATO IS FINISHED, I TELL YOU!" Shouts Old Testament prophet, Scott Ritter.

A week or so back Ritter laid into Danny Haiphong and Haiphong has since been proved right. While Ritter has been proved totally wrong. "What's the matter with you people? Can't you detect a real prophet when he appears before you? (shouting)". A wee bit of paraphrasing there.

And people are still giving Ritter the time of day. Sure beats me.

Russia will string them along by supporting a ceasefire then negotiating it forever …

.. at least that is what I would do, and as everybody knows, I am Putin’s b**ch therefore I may as well treat you to this prediction.
