RE: What Do You think of Scott Ritter's comments on the Ukraine?

The realisation that Ukraine is losing badly is starting to percolate through in The West.

For those of us that ignored MSM propaganda, sought out reliable independent sources of information and exercised our own independent rational analysis, this conclusion has been obvious for a long time.

You ask good questions but there are two questions you forget to ask which impacts the others.

Q1: Is NATO currently capable of defeating Russia in a conventional war in or near the territory of Ukraine?

A1: NO! NATO is completely outmatched by Russia in quality and quantity of arms, experience and quality of troops and military industrial capacity.
The Ukraine war has shown that Ukrainian troops fighting with old Soviet equipment do BETTER than NATO trained Ukrainian troops with NATO equipment.

Q2: What are the consequences of NATO directly fighting Russia and losing?

A2: Collapse of NATO and Russian troops in Berlin, Warsaw, Paris and Amsterdam.

Consider this before answering the above questions.
