Scott Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and author of 'SCORPION KING: America's Suicidal Embrace of Nuclear Weapons from FDR to Trump.' He served in the Soviet Union as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty, in General Schwarzkopf’s staff during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a UN weapons inspector. @RealScottRitter
On Ukraine, Biden’s State of the Union address was just ‘good vs. evil’ President Joe Biden delivers his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Biden’s simplistic “good versus evil” pronouncements on the Russian-Ukraine conflict did little to prepare America for the consequences of declaring economic warfare against the Russian state. It wasn’t surprising that Russia’s ongoing military incursion into Ukraine topped the list of issues addressed by US President Joe Biden in his first State of the Union (SOTU) address, delivered on March 1, 2022, to a joint session of Congress.

We may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other, but only at the risk of his own life.” -- ROBERT OPPENHEIMER Scorpion King: America’s Suicidal Embrace of Nuclear Weapons from FDR to Trump is a history of America’s corrosive affair with nuclear weapons, and the failed efforts to curb this radioactive ardor through arms control. The book’s title refers to the allusion by Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the American atomic bomb, to dueling scorpions when discussing the deadly nuclear rivalry between the US and Soviet Union, and signals the dangers inherent in the resumption of the perilous US drive for nuclear supremacy.Providing a vivid and gripping A-Z history of America’s deceptive use of arms control as a means of actually furthering its quest for nuclear dominance, Ritter sheds light on a contradictory US agenda little understood by the lay reader, while providing sufficient detail and context to engage the specialist.Originally published by Nation Books in 2010 under the title Dangerous Ground, this new version has been streamlined and significantly expanded to account for the failed arms control policies of the Obama administration, and the rejection of arms control as a policy during the first term of the Trump administration.The Trump administration has pulled out of one landmark arms control treaty, the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty, and is threatening to let another, the 2010 New START treaty, expire. The terrifying Cuban missile crisis of 1962 demonstrated the apocalyptic folly of nuclear arsenals operating without limitation, and led to reciprocal constraints that moderated the nuclear ambitions of both the US and Soviet Union Those constraints, for the most part, no longer exist. The next missile crisis could prove terminal for humanity.Scorpion King is a book that can, and should, occupy the shelves of academic libraries, diplomats and military professionals, as well as make the reading lists of concerned citizens, given the dangerous state of US and Russian relations, now hovering on the cusp of a new and increasingly hazardous nuclear arms race. It provides a road map showing how we collectively returned to the nuclear cliff edge, and shines light on the possibility of an exit from a seemingly endless dark tunnel.Providing context for the forthcoming 2020 Review of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Scorpion King is must reading for an imperilled world.
Reasons for Mirroring And Timestamps Noted
I am not wading into the minefield of proclaiming loyalties to any of the current macabre cast of characters whom are playing parts in potentially initiating atomic weapon warfare destruction: I abhor the present-day events and have been avoiding them to retain sanity. I continue to abstain from expressing comments that may (will?) be misconstrued as casting my lot behind one side over another.
I have uploaded this interview with Scott Ritter that was uploaded today onto the fantastic independent journalism YT Channel: Public Opinion for posterity's sake because I feel the opinion and facts expressed by Scott are required listening. This is also why I noted some of his comments as timestamped links to the YT video.
He has done an exceptional job in this interview, elucidating a very turgid, complex, racially charged and historically obfuscated conflict. Having an ex-US Military, ex-US Intelligence employee provide an assessment from a position of significant life & work experiences in the USSR / Russia, USA and Eastern European (particularly Ukranian) theatres of potential conflict helped me understand what the situation is.
Some of his commentary astounded me, particularly his affirmation of CIA & MI6-controlled Information Operations(a form of direct, covert action that is non-lethal in nature) that have successfully portrayed Ukranian's actor-cum-president Zelinsky as "The New Churchill" or "The New King Leonitas." I was also blown off my feet by Scott's fierce condemnation of the Zion-Nazi Azov Battalion.
I implore listeners to consider all the nuances described by Scott Ritter in this interview. The programmatic imperative to defaulting into a painstream media #msm engineered false paradigm or inserted narrative is one clear enemy here (I hope we can agree on this). At times so unclear where the collective consciousness is being whipped into emotional frenzies, you must consider the nuances as the nuance could embody an error of nuclear proportions.
I pursue a shared (yet suppressed) Human Imperative of Seeking Any Divine Truth - there's no greater purpose for existing to bear witness a present-day calamity without comparison. I do not claim to know divine truths, nor speculate whether I will discover any at all...
...but one truth I know in my bones for certain: The Enemy Within is the First Enemy to Overcome... (how could you truly try to "Know Thyself" until the Enemy Within is overcome?)
Also my American friends: listen to your fellow learned geopolitical and military expert, not your Project Mockingbird media stooges please. Thank you.
| YT Timestamp | Excerpt |
|---|---|
| 6m 15s | SCOTT: "Whole purpose of Russia going into Ukraine was to create A New Reality. The existing reality NATO wasn't willing to budge from." |
| 10m 53s | SCOTT: "...when Russia gives them A New Reality, and NATO has the chance to examine the consequences of that reality, NATO may very well accept the solution that Russia's offered." nb: the host rejects Scott's assertion here & alleges that the complete opposite is currently happening, with more and more troops pouring into the border conflict areas. |
| 16min | SCOTT: "and if you look at these videotapes the Ukranians are releasing, you'd think the Ukranians are winning the war. They're not - they're not even close." |
| 18m 36s | SCOTT: "...it's fiction: most the weapons that the West has promised haven't been bought yet, the ones that have been bought haven't been shipped yet. The ones that have been shipped are still waiting at the border because its too dangerous to go across. "Um, so no I think there's a lot of propaganda going on right now." |
| 20m 46s | SCOTT: "...rightly called it a Propaganda War. Let there be no doubt that the Central Intelligence Agency (#cia) & MI6 both heavily involved in Ukraine prior to this war. They both have extremely close relationships with the Ukranian Government and the Ukranian Security Services." |
| 21m 08s | SCOTT: "The CIA especially right now is running a very effective Information Operation they call it. It's a form of direct covert action that's non-lethal in nature. The CIA has been running it.. forever. They've never stopped running it but the whole purpose is to shape the narrative that binds decision-making in other nations." |
| 22m 15s | SCOTT: "The CIA has been very effective in creating the image of a Heroic Zelinsky. I mean they just had a photoshoot, CIA-run photoshoot where they call the guy "The New Churchill" or the "King Leonitas: The Leader of the 300." They've shaped this guy's image to be some sort of Superman." |
| 22m 50s | SCOTT: "...there's a lot of courage on the courage on the side of Ukraine. These are people who have been put in a very difficult situation. I have sympathy for them all except the Azov Battalion Nazis who I believe should die like dogs..." |
| 23m 14s | SCOTT: "The CIA has been very effective in creating this New Zelinsky. A man who can now appear on the videoconference to the European Parliament and speak In Crafted Words" to get an interpreter to cry live on TV, therefore magnifying the moment, I mean this is all made for TV nonsense - carefully scripted by the CIA." |
| 24m 04s | SCOTT: "...people need to understand what's going on here and then this entire CIA-crafted Narrative is being echoed in the mainstream media and they all use the exact same terminology, the exact same phrases, the exact same way of describing..." |
| 24m 54s | SCOTT: "The Ghost of Kiev - some mythical MIG-29 pilot going around becoming an ACE in one day - never happened. Most of the stuff you've heard about on TV, about the "Glory of the Ukranian Military" never happened; they're doctored videos, they're old videos from the earlier Donetsk thing repurposed for modern times. But this is manufactured. This is what the CIA and frankly speaking, the MI6 does - Information Operations. |
| 26m 30s | SCOTT: "...the more difficult nut to crack is going to be Western Ukraine. That one... i don't know how you denazify Ukraine unless you go after the den of the devil which is Lvov. That's where the followers of Stepan Bandera are, that's where the nazis are, that's where the monuments have been raised. That would be a whole different level of fighting and I don't know if the Russians will have the appetite to do that." |
| 27m 20s | SCOTT: "The Europeans have done a very good job of ignoring the horrific reality of this Nazi Movement, that is thoroughly infected Western Ukraine. Thoroughly infected." |
| 28m 06s | HOST: "well those Nazis might be used as stay behind forces, as saboteurs Scott." SCOTT: "There's nobody better than the Russians at killing those people." |
| 30m 01s | HOST: "...if we just decide we're going to cut off relations with Russia, we're going to demonize Russia could actually lead to a confrontation: even a potential nuclear Third World War Scott. Do you think that's a possibility?" |
| 30m 18s | SCOTT: "Once you go down this route, anything's possible and it can't be discounted: it's a very dangerous game that's being played right now. But I will say this now too: the idea that Putin walked into a trap is ludicrous - he made this decision on his own timetable. This a decision that's been 15 years in the making so no one tricked him into doing this. He did this when he wanted to do it knowing full well what the consequences would be. Everything the West has done by now has been predictable. And not only that, they've telegraphed it for so long that Russia's had plenty of time to study the options." |
