⁣My benchmark for judging “journalists” and “the media” will always be the 2003 Iraq War.

Jim VandeHei worked for the Washington Post during that time.

Both sold the false narrative used to promote that war.

Jim VandeHei is not a journalist.

He is a stenographer for Washington DC warmongers.

Elon Musk is correct: X is the media today.

Jim VandeHei is just a washed up stenographer.

And Axios is simply an extension of the warmongering class.

⁣Russia, it seems, has already invested in deep, precision strike capability against NATO.

NATO playing catchup with an empty bank account and decrepit defense industry.

This is a recipe for disaster.

HOW CLOSE TO NUCLEAR WAR?
Interview for Judging Freedom

@ScottRitter | Substack | Donate

Wake up, America, before it’s too late.

@ScottRitter | Substack | Donate

The reports of the US considering the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine are lies.

No such discussions took place as described.

First and foremost, the US is in no position to “return” nuclear weapons that were on the territory of Ukraine when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Not only did Ukraine never have physical possession of these weapons (Russia did), all of these weapons were returned to Russia by 1996.

Russia isn’t going to give them back.

Any “official” who stated this as a possibility shouldn’t be in government, which leads me to believe no such statement was made.

This is yet another example of the New York Times just making things up in order to stir up tension with Russia.

⁣Stupid take.

To embrace this, you have to deny Americans dominion over their own lives, to accept as fact the notion that the average American cannot discern between lies and truth, right and wrong.

That Americans must yield to the tyranny of the state and a controlled and compliant mainstream media.

This, of course, runs counter to the purpose of free speech to begin with.

The American people weren’t given this right—we possessed it at the time of the founding of our Constitutional Republic.

The First Amendment isn’t something bequeathed by government to we, the people, but rather a restriction we, the people, put on government.

To suggest that the American people cannot be trusted with what is already theirs is fundamentally un-American.

Which is a good definition for the mainstream media and their government masters today.

CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL & LEBANON | RUSSIA'S HYPERSONIC MISSILE CHANGED EVERYTHING
Interview for Dialogue Works

@ScottRitter | Substack | Donate

Israel can never be forgiven for the crimes it committed against the Lebanese people.

This ceasefire is simply a reprieve from the justice that will eventually be delivered to the illegal apartheid Zionist entity.

In the end, Israel has been, is, and will always be its own worst enemy.

To defeat Israel, just let it exist. It will soon collapse from the decay of its own rotten core.

⁣American foreign policy is already corrupt.

And American exceptionalism died a long time ago everywhere except in the brains of those deluded elitists who run corrupt American foreign policy.

Trump is far from perfect.

But he will offer a break from the failed policies and processes of the past.

Whether he succeeds in his efforts is another question.

⁣When faced with the threat of nuclear war, understanding that your national security is premised on the bedrock principle that nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought, building more nuclear weapons is not only counterintuitive, but insane.

Disarmament and arms control is the answer.

But you can’t make a trillion dollars promoting peace.

This is what happens when you cede the future of your nation to military industrialists.

They get rich.

And then we all die.

The offensive against Aleppo initiated by Turkish-allied Islamists from Hayat Tahir Al-Sham (a re-branded Al Qaeda that has made common cause with ISIS) and the US-allied Syrian National Army is the consequence of a strategic plan between the Israelis and Turks, backed by the US, to cut off the supply route from Iran to Lebanon for Hezbollah, and threaten to destabilize/topple the Assad government, forcing Russia to divert resources from Ukraine to salvage their position in Syria. Ukraine has provided advisors to the anti-Assad militants on drone warfare. Israel has apparently extended its explosive pager/radio scheme into Syria as well, disrupting Syrian tactical command and control at a critical moment in the fighting.

Syria had largely demobilized, and Hezbollah had mostly returned to Lebanon. Iranian-backed Iraqi militias are ill prepared to contain this assault.

It is highly likely Aleppo will fall to the pro-Turkish Islamist forces. There will most likely be a concerted effort, led by Russia and Iran, to salvage the situation in Syria.

This will take time.
This offensive may threaten the ceasefire in Lebanon.
The biggest loser in all of this is Turkey and its President, Recep Erdogan.

This offensive could not have been carried out without close cooperation and coordination with Israel and the US.

Erdogan’s critical words against Israel have been exposed as empty rhetoric.

Erdogan has once again betrayed Russia.
And his support for Palestine has beed exposed as fraudulent in every way.

Russia and Iran will stabilize Syria.
This will take months.

Syria and its allies will destroy the Islamist stronghold in Idlib.
This will take years.

The Iran-Hezbollah supply line will be restored/maintained.
Israel will be defeated.
And the US will withdraw from Syria, probably in mid-2025.
And Turkey will continue to betray everyone it does business with, because Erdogan stands only for Turkey.

⁣FAHRENHEIT 7232

Russian President Vladimir Putin, addressing the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) at a meeting held in the Kazakh capital of Astana this past Thursday, declared that Russia's new intermediate-range ballistic missile, Oreshnik, which was used to strike a Ukrainian military production facility near the city of Dnipropetrovsk, possessed destructive power comparable to that of a nuclear weapon.

“Dozens of warheads, self-guided units attack the target at a speed of 10 Mach (ten times the speed of sound),” Putin said. “This is about three kilometers per second. The temperature of the striking elements reaches 4000 degrees. If my memory serves me right,” Putin noted, “the temperature on the surface of the Sun is 5,500-6000 degrees. Therefore, everything that is in the epicenter of the explosion is divided into fractions, into elementary particles, everything turns essentially into dust.”
