TRUMP IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A GLOBAL DEFICIT IN LEADERSHIP

Russia and China have made a point of not wanting to challenge the US in terms of global hegemony.

Instead, they opted to wait for the US to succumb to emerging geopolitical realities that would have the US downsize voluntarily.

In the process, a global leadership vacuum emerged.

Trump has broken with expectations regarding the downward spiral of American power, and instead is moving to fill this vacuum forcefully.

There is a method to his madness.

This doesn’t make it right.

But it does create the opportunity for the US to once again flex its muscles in a world where countervailing potential has largely atrophied.

The question is who, if anyone, will push back on the global stage?

BRICS is not mature enough.

America’s allies are too beholden and besotted to mount any viable pushback.

Which leaves Russia and China, neither of which are prepared to act decisively on the global stage.

This creates maneuver room for audacious and outrageous policy initiatives, of which Gaza is but the most recent incarnation.

THE RUSSIA HOUSE

Today I am announcing the launch of an exciting new project, The Russia House with Scott Ritter. This is a subscription based service using the social media platform Telegram.

The Russia House is a collaboration between myself and Alexandra Madornaya, a long-time senior administrator of my Telegram channel.

The Russia House with Scott Ritter represents a continuation of the important work of helping overcome the Russophobia that exists in the United States and the West which serves as an impediment to the furthering of better relations between Russia and the West. Its success, of course, hinges on the quality of the product published as part of this project. But quality production does not happen in a vacuum, and the sustainability of The Russia House will ultimately depend upon the creation and sustainment of a viable subscription base.

CAN TRUMP AND NETANYAHU RESHAPE THE MIDDLE EAST?
Interview for Palestine Chronicle TV

@ScottRitter | Substack | Donate | Q&A

A GAME OF DRONES

Death during wartime is usually a very personal experience—a moment of pain, usually preceded by fear, followed up by darkness.

The anonymity of the bullet, grenade or artillery shell is a constant reality, leaving bodies littered on the battlefield to be collected afterwards by those fortunate enough to have survived.

On rare occasion, news photographers and videographers who are brave enough to venture forth into the killing fields can capture death as it occurs—grainy images showing bodies from a distance crumple to the ground, a scene of tragic finality which is oddly impersonal given the intimacy of the action.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict, however, has provided an entirely new way to witness death, live on your computer screen, a first person view of the taking of human life as it occurs. These video images appear torn from a computer, a first-person shooter format those familiar with games such as Call of Duty.

A Game of Drones.

It was because of this article that the channel was blocked almost immediately after the announcement of the launch of The Russia House was published. Now the subscription is active again.

An interesting guest visited The War Room of The Russia House with Scott Ritter — Dmitry Petrovsky, a writer, screenwriter, engineer, who spoke about the use of drones in the SMO.

Drones are becoming increasingly popular and are used in a variety of areas — from agriculture to rescue operations, and—increasingly, as an instrument of war. Dmitry shared his experience and knowledge about drones, talked about how the use of drones began, how it affects people who control drones.

“Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has ruled out the possibility of restoring diplomatic relations with Russia — Euronews

Any progress on this issue will only be possible if the Russian Federation withdraws its decision to recognize the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.”

Wait…isn’t this the guy the Georgian opposition was calling Putin’s puppet?

It seems he cares far more for Georgian sovereignty than all of the USAID-funded puppets of the West.

USA AND RUSSIA: UNDERSTANDING THE TREND
Interview for East Calling

One of the problems is that Russians have a great sense of humor that we don't understand in the United States. And when it comes to Russia, unfortunately, the Americans don't have a similar foundation of humor, which I wish we did. We have a foundation of politicized ignorance.

In this conversation, we sought an answer to two questions, “What are the trends, the great forces of history, which led to the state in which the world now finds itself?” and “What can be done about this?”

Two documents to read:

“The Long Telegram” from George Kennan, February 22nd, 1946

“The New Long Telegram” from Wayne Merry, March 28th, 1994

⁣A flash from the past: my article in Consortium News regarding the FBI raid on my home last August. President Trump and Attorney General Bondi have issued a series of memos which seek to investigate and remediate the consequences of the weaponization of the Justice Department for political purposes. My case clearly falls under this category. More to follow!
