This photo underscores everything that’s wrong with America today.
The man-child poses with the anti-American Al Qaeda operative and his Saudi paymaster.
Anyone who served in Iraq should be outraged at this photo.
Anyone who lost relatives on 9/11 should be outraged.
Anyone who calls themselves America’s should be outraged.
Trump has betrayed everyone and everything.
And he’s too stupid to understand why.

THE PEDESTAL OF HISTORY
Vladimir Putin has been the leader of Russia for more than a quarter century. In his lifetime he has served as an officer in the Soviet KGB, as a private citizen (taxi driver) trying to make ends meet in the post-Soviet era, an advisor to the Mayor of Saint Petersburg, within the Presidential administration of Boris Yeltsin, as the head of the Russian state security service, as the prime minister of Russia, and as the president of Russia.
During this time, the Soviet Union collapsed, the Russian Federation was born, Russia struggled with the consequences of the failure of Perestroika and Boris Yeltsin’s inept leadership, fought two wars in Chechnya, three wars in Georgia (Ossetia 1991, Abkhazia 1992-93, and the 2008 war), intervened in Syria, and continues to wage a three-plus year conflict with Ukraine and the collective West.

This week The Russia House with Scott Ritter does just that, reflecting on Victory Day and the Russian journey of self discovery that this moment in time reflects.

THE ODESSA MOMENT
Russia has informed Ukraine of its baseline condition for conflict termination—the withdrawal of all Ukrainian troops from the territory of lands which, from the perspective of the Russian Constitution, constitute part of Mother Russia. These include Kherson, Zaporozhia, Donetsk and Lugansk.
Russia has also made it clear that if Ukraine does not accept these terms, the next time Russia is willing to sit down and negotiate with Ukraine their demands will include four additional Ukrainian oblasts, or administrative regions—presumably Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov.
We have reached the Odessa Moment.

“Vladimir Putin decided to remain in power after his constitutionally mandated presidential terms ended in 2008, rotating into the Russian prime ministership while clinging to the real levers of influence. That same year, Moscow began a brutal invasion of Georgia, a young democracy located just to Russia’s south. Putin’s troops killed thousands there, repeating a playbook developed in Chechnya and Moldova in the 1990s and early aughts when the West was enticed by the prospect of cooperating with the new Russia. Facing little serious resistance, Russia would soon continue its pattern of death and destruction in Syria, and, of course, Ukraine. All while Vladimir Putin continued to rule Russia with an iron fist, hiding behind the facade of fake elections and suppressing the last vestiges of freedom.”
You wrote this.
In 2008, the United States was embarked on a policy of regime change in Russia.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the mission of the CIA’s Moscow Station at that time. Regime change was the coin of the realm.
That meant expanding NATO to Russia’s borders and seeking color revolution style unrest in Moscow similar to the Orange Revolution orchestrated by the CIA in Ukraine. Navalny, Nemtsov and others were on the CIA payroll for this purpose, perverting the very notion of democracy.
Russia did not brutally invade Georgia. It was Condoleezza Rice who encouraged Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to break off diplomacy with Russia in favor of a Georgian invasion of South Ossetia, offering vague promises of US support. Georgian troops fired upon Russian peacekeeping forces in their barracks. Russian forces responded, and drove the Georgian troops from South Ossetia, advancing into Georgia itself before accepting a ceasefire brokered by the European Union.
You liken the Georgian conflict to Chechnya. The only thing these two conflicts had in common was the involvement of the CIA in stirring up trouble. The Russian-Chechen reconciliation will go down in history as one of the greatest collaborations in peaceful resolution of conflict in modern times. The partnership between Orthodox Russia and Muslim Chechnya is a role model other nations, including the US, could and should learn from.
Russia was invited into Syria to stop the advance of US-supported Islamic extremists loyal to Al Qaeda. Your misrepresentation of this intervention can only be the product of ignorance or a deliberate distortion prompted by Russophobia.
Your ignorance of the Russian political and social reality is manifest.
You are angered that Russian Cosmonauts would fly a banner celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany, not comprehending that they were celebrating an allied victory over evil.
I have often cited the “overview effect” experienced by persons who travel into space as an ideal for all mankind, given that it compels one to realize the fragility of the planet we live on.
Your ignorance-laced anti-Russian screed is evidence that space travel does not purge one of national prejudice.
The anger you evince toward your one-time Russian colleagues is simply the byproduct of your own ignorance and hate, proof positive that even the rigors of international space travel cannot cure stupid.

THE LVOV MOMENT
For some time now, I have been predicting that the Special Military Operation, or SMO, would be reaching what I termed “the Odessa Moment”, a decision point where Russia would offer Ukraine one last chance for peace before making the strategic decision to transition the conflict from a simple matter of restoring Russian sovereignty over the totality of its constitutional territory to the political and physical destruction of western Ukraine.

Russia (Putin) did not start this war.
America did.
You’re the former Director of the CIA.
I know you brag about lying being a core value of the institution you led (pro hint—it’s not a good thing), but for once reach into your dark heart and tell the truth.
Did the CIA maintain a relationship with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Bandera faction (OUN-B) from 1948 through 1990?
I’ll help you—yes.
Did the CIA use its connectivity with the OUN-B to build connections inside Ukraine designed to promote Ukrainian nationalism in a way that sought to bring harm to the Soviet Union and, after 1992, Russia?
Again, yes.
Did the CIA facilitate the work of USAID and NED, through various US funded NGO proxies, to help bring Ukrainian nationalists to power in the 2004-2005 Orange Revolution in Ukraine?
Yes.
Did the CIA view the return of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2010 as a threat to US strategic goals and objectives regarding Ukraine and Russia (i.e., Ukrainian NATO membership)?
Yes.
Did the CIA help orchestrate the 2014 Maidan Coup designed to remove Yanukovych from power?
Yes.
Did the CIA use its connectivity with the OUN-B in Ukraine and diaspora to promote an anti-Russian agenda in post-Maidan Ukraine?
Yes.
Did the CIA fund and help build, organize, train, and operate up to 20 bases inside Ukraine from which covert operations could be conducted against Russia, including actions that could be considered acts of war?
Yes.
Were you the CIA director when these bases were built and operated?
Yes.
Did the CIA help Ukraine prepare for a military operation designed to seize the Donbas from pro-Russian elements that was scheduled to take place in late February-early March 2022?
Yes.
Were you aware of these plans when you were CIA director?
Yes.
Who started this war?
You did.
