Thank you Scott for promoting peace through communication. When we realise we all breathe the same air and have the same fears, we can surely get along. Every individual is vitally important at this time. Our thoughts... our actions motivated by love and understanding. Thank you Danny for this heart-warming interview. We need positive, visionary leaders. ❤️
Beautiful words. Thank you.❤️
True words spoken....
Ukraine and democracy should never be mentioned in the same sentence. EVER!!
Ukraine is a satellite state of Israel
How about Ukraine is no democracy but a western owned oligarchy?
The US / UK and EU not either
✨@@rolfsautter4186
Ever? You just mentioned Ukraine and democracy in the same sentence, genius.
I saw the factory video with Putin. That’s a true Statesman! Great admiration for what his done for Russia.
I find Scott’s awakening to appreciation of the citizen peace movement to be so encouraging and moving. From blind warrior to humane advocate - makes me feel a bit of hope for us
Brainwashed keep dreaming is a new Era now not 5oyrs ago 😂😂😂
I wouldnt say he was blind he pushed back on weapons of mass destruction and they tried to destroy his life for it
It's a common sense to live in peace and grow your family.
But the world is full of crooks looking for free ride on the backs of others to make money and get power over others.
Because of internet and some honest people like Scott etc people can know the truth in 24 hours instead of months or years as it used to be in the past decades due to PROPAGANDA controlled by the LOBBY.
But it's also important to know the enemy of peace and harmony called WARMONGERS and don't support or vote for them.
Besides, if Russia gets pushed to the wall by WARMONGERS they use nukes and it's going to be ugly for every nation in the area of war or even beyond that and that's the Russian mentality.
So let WARMONGERS themselves fight with Russia for money and power.
Why anyone would feel the way you say by the very bigoted Jew hating Ritter is puzzling? That he is a convicted pedophile having spent 5 years in jail must be reassuring to so many of them who regard a 9 year old girl as a suitable bride like Mohammed did. Please fact check both statements by all means.
Ritter hates the society that convicted him as a pedophile. He was a clerk in the military inspection unit he never laid a boot on hostile territory or took part in any action.
@@rodiculous9464 most radicals have a ‘come to Jesus moment’, and that was Scott’s. He could’ve toed the line for the establishment and kept his career intact, but he didn’t.
I must admit, it's quite surprising to find myself praising an American service man, past or present, but Scott Ritter has truly earned my admiration amidst all this chaos-a lone voice of reason and moral outrage. Hats off to you, sir. Cheers from Patagonia!
Scott is spot on about Israel. We are America, not Israel. Too many politicians believe we are an Israeli state when it should be the opposite. We got to get rid of these politicians
Dual citizenship
They need to ban political donations.
Agreed
we need to fully ban foreign agents like Aipac
Lets put America First
man youtube is deleting comment in less than a min
this platform buffed up their censorship game.
Scott does really understands Russia. Not many people could.
Yeah he’s a convicted child predator
Yeah. POOTIN's 812th WARNING 😂😂😂
Do
@nvs2815 😂😂😂 Sure thing you petulant child😂😂😂
@@nvs2815 Putin never threatened with nukes, he said they will be used if Russian state comes into question. So what did Kaya the prime minister of Estonia said the other day, quote: "The goal is not to defend Ukraine, Ukraine is just a tool to disintegrate Russia?" end-quote. Oh? So Putin was right all along? Kaya's "small Russia is OKAY" is going to backfire epically just as sanctions. She dreams of disintegration of Russia, and she will face disintegration of EU. People in EU are boiling. 17 million Ukrainians are laying and receiving "welfare" together with millions of immigrants from Middle East. How much more EU can take? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? I don't think so...
from a German living in Australia. Thank you for your analysis. I am watching your programme regularly and agree with you. Australia and Germany are vassals to the USA unfortunately
Economic warfare
As a fellow Aussie I completely agree
Germany used to be powerful, such a shame to see Germany become a cuck 😢
Germany is the bottom of the many of us vassal . And Germany has another master to submit to that is Ben Shapiro country as well !
Aussie here too, it's incredible how most Aussies here have no idea what's going on 😢
I could listen to Scott all night. Great man.
This child molester said many times that Ukrainian army already collapsed 6 months ago 😂😂😂
Agree. It all makes sense what he is saying. 💯
Would you let him babysit?
@@UKProperPrepper you missed your 5th booster.
@@hereandnow990 lool
LOVE how Russia's Progress and President Putin's ruling is explained!! Thank you Mr Ritter and Danny for this clear interview.
US foreign policy is dictated by Israeli zionists, 5 mm in Palestine, 3 mm in UK, and 100 mm in N America, including jews and Evangelical christians.
Scott is absolutely right
scott grapes kids
@@jasonvoorhees5640 + How come your comment doesn't get deleted? That's how we know who is in control!
Scott is always correct 👌 check out Col Douglas MacGregor, he has been bang on like Scott since the start of the war.
Yeah. POOTIN's 812th WARNING soon 😂😂😂
@@jollcheist1443 that guy or bot just spams the same crap everywhere.
Thank you Scott for your commitment to Peace. With brave men like Mr Ritter on side, my prediction is, sooner or later Peace will break out!
The only difference between Nuland and a bulldog is lipstick.
A bulldog has a smaller appetite.
That is insulting to all bulldogs
😂😂😂😂😂does she still have teeth
And one is a sadistic sociopathic demon while the other is just a dog.
@@EA-dweller. Ha!! That's great. And unfortunately true.
And there aren't many bulldogs that will be instrumental in a nuclear holocaust.
Victoria Newland is John Bolton in drag.
Yep . . . Ouch . . . lol . . .
This I like it a lot!
Hey, . . . It's That Toxic Cookies, And Pastries Woman Nuland, Which $preads Her Vile Toxicity Around Europe, Like The Female Pied Piper Of Hate, Discord, Conflict, Coup d'état's, Death, And Destruction . . . Ouch . . .
Hahahaha 👍 I'd go as far and say Bolton is better looking than Miss Piggy
Is it the mustache that gives it away?
What a great podcast! Mr. Ritter is a wealth of knowledge.
ritter touches kids dood
You know he went to prison for child sex offences?
Scott is not trust worthy he is a corrupt person by cia. He was exposed in recent meeting with Carl zha. He saying everyone to bow down to America and don't talk back or protest ...he is a little macron..but act like he is against current America politicians
@@brennanandoWhat has it got to do with the Zios?
@@spidermann1256 what's wrong with Zionism?
I remember seeing that video a few years ago and being really impressed by Putin. Thinking, this is what we in the West need. Someone to call out and kick out these Mafia criminals. What a great leader.
Scott was Excellent!
Danny was Excellent!
The Video was Excellent!
The Content was Excellent!
Yay
Sometimes Ritter fails.
Thank you for your active involvement, Scott Ritter, a very good man and a real professional!!
God bless you and protect you brother Scott. Be always safe. Thank you Danny for making this happen.
If Russia put nuclear weapon in Cuba, what reaction would USA do?
Usa would beat the drums for WW5, or WW6, 🥶🥶🥶
If they got a hint of that , Cuba would be invaded yesterday. Ain't going down like that this time round .
Or Hawaï want to break free and China send them weapons !!!!!!
Nothing that's what America will do. Its achieved what they wanted to keep Russia as the ennermy of Europe!at the same time getting Europe and Britain to totally demolish their own countries economy's? If this proxy war stops tomorrow! It's not going to alter the future of Europe and Britain! The shortage of food and mass starvation has to hit Europe and Britain! Then we have the millions of immigrants that's going to kick off allover Europe Britain Australia and America!?.
That already happened! "The Cuban missle crisis"....look it up! 🤦♂️
Im in Russia visiting now. Scott is right when he talks about Russia prospering economically. They have hundreds of Crain's putting out new buildings everywhere. Its insane to see.
Also keep in mind, when Russia wins rhe war, they will no longer sell energy to Europe for the same price as pre war. Eu will be forced to go back to business with Russia, and rhey will have to pay extra now for fighting against Russia.
Plus the whole belt and road initiative is under way. Plus the new BRICS currency.
Also, now that Russia has proven itself capable to defend itself, MANY INVESTORS will start parking their money in Russia. Trust in the west has faltered, and many of those who depended on the US will now jump ship to Russia.
Russias has a very strong economic future.
The US has absolutely 0 reason to have any economic future. Their country is extremely overpriced and has extremely little economic perspective. Remember, those looking to make profit can make the most money in economic GROWTH not economic PEAK.
Sanctions are working?😅😅😅😅
Really ?
@@gullybull5568 Yeah, the city I am in (Tyumen) has probably thousands of cranes putting up new buildings. You see them everywhere you go. Many brand new sections added to the city on all sides.
Honestly, I don't understand who will fill so many buildings because everyone I talk to from other cities say the same thing is happening there also.
@Chemike21 maybe the new Russians from the former Ukraine will be filling up those buildings.
Scott, no matter of what the naysayers said about your evaluation of the world situation, it was and is spot-on. Thank you for sharing and please keep your information as it is :)
Scot is the best realist historical, military, geographical and geopolitical commentator in alternative media or media in general. With that said, he needs a trip to Asia to have a wholistic view that will only make him an even better analyst. I personally have the greatest of respect for this man and think him a treasure to the US. Though my opinion is of no significance I just had to say it.
he is also a pdf file
What does have to do with his assessment ? When you expose their dirty game they ll come after you , I can guaranty you if your local news throw some lies on you because you expose some officials many gonna believed what you are accused for NOW if he did it he’s sick !
Yeah, don't worry about his love of children.
@@brennanando Why worry about a father's love for children? As a father I can relate, seem you are not a father or just cannot relate?.
@@seeker2118 you do know that he went to prison? He seems to love children a bit too much.
When will Americans open their eyes….America is falling apart…thousands of homeless…open borders…infrastructure falling apart…good education expenses ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 45:25
Due to you live in the most corrupt country in the world that is u. S. A !
Eyes wide shut. Due to media
The IRS is after me to pay $16.71, and if I don't pay before the dead line, I will pay 25% interest.
Yet the government sends billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel from us taxpayers.
I can't hardly wait to retire and leave this hell hole.
We’ve had someone that actually stood up and addressed the problems but they have been resisted like no one else. The corrupt politicians and media have brainwashed millions of Americans in believing the person fighting for us is the criminal.
I like what Scott is saying about his plans into expanding the knowledge of what American's understand about Russians and what Russians understand about Americans, I have had Russian friends and love them they are just like us, want the same things and very capable people well educated etc. I went to electronics school after the Navy my teacher was a Russian he made the entire thing understand able I was the top of the class because his passion to teach mathematics. I hope Scotts effort becomes a myth busting nonsense our political class and media decieve the publicity c about this wonder people and culture of our brothers and sisters share with us.
scott "likes" kids my dood
Sorry to be pessimistic but it ain't gonna happen. Americans are far too attached to the idea of their exceptionalism. Those Americans who are not--"the woke"--have zero interest in the issues that do not involve race or gender.
@@jasonvoorhees5640yes, thats what they say to nullify his words because they cannot stand someone speaking the truth.
@@jasonvoorhees5640 just like Biden?
@@Cnupoc it's not the same. Biden touches them in person and those are real minors, in this case it was via webcam and the kid was a roleplaying 24 year old woman. It's pretty clear what is worse.
It would be great if Scott could sit down with Putin, we could finally get an intelligent, valuable interview!
Scott is a good analytic, but as interviewer who knows? Tucker already did good job. Let's use professionals.
Scott Ritter is the greatest of them all ❤❤
From Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
Zelensky's own lies are coming back to haunt him. How many times have we heard the Ukrainians say that Russia launched 50 missiles and Ukraine shot down 55? Or Russia launched 100 missiles and drones and they shot all of them down, but the news would report that there were several explosions heard in the city and people report dozens of ambulances rushing to the scene of these explosions? But now Zelensky is begging NATO to shoot down Russian missiles; tell us Zelensky, which one is it, because it can't be both.
Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island 13 Martyrs, Kramatorsk train station attack, all demonstrable Zellensky BS.
Zelensky don't know what happening on the ground he to busy spending America money and hiding underground. He's a clown. Time up zelensky.
Tick check.
This has been my argument from the beginning of this conflict. Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Zelensky should be honest. He has lost and should seek peaceful negotiations with Russia 🇷🇺..
Зеленский звонит Байдену,, мы проигрываем, пришли мне супергероев"Каких супер героев???,, рембо, железный человек, халк, человек паук, всех"!Но это виртуальные герои, не настоящие., Ты думаешь я нстоящий"?
Can't praise Scott enough for his outstanding analysis and his fearless critic of moraly corrupt leaders
Scott Ritter that is the one who is morally corrupt.
Here is the problem with Victoria Nuland. She is married to Robert Kagan. Robert’s father, Donald was a historian soeciuzing in wars, his soecialty was Greece,l. With his son Ribert set up the brain of today’s foreign policy direction -/ The Project for New American Century. The name is rather a curiosity. The reason is - Kagan is a noble title used by Momgol, Turki, Tatar and Russians, But most importantly it was used by rulers of Khazar empire, The title is derived from Khan, and that title waoused to rule Ukraine! Khagan means king of kings. Russia under Svyatoslav I defeated Khazar Kaganate in 969, and it never recovered. Svyatoslav’s symbol was God Odin Runic symbol, as Russiabs were very much cohabitation with Norway and had famiky links.
What suprised me was to see the same symbilol on Russian military trucks and tanks. In Kharkiv. Is it saying they are fighting against return if Khazat Kaganate. ? And judging the obsession Victoria Nuland had with Russia. - Looks like some kind of messaging is going on.
Amen!
It must have been discombobulating for her to encounter the in laws there. If that's an excuse.
This war is to empty the land of Slavs, so the Khazars can take it.
The Khazarians have been fighting for “Ukraine” for over a century. They always get others to do the fighting for them. Napoleon, Hitler, and next Biden.
Why did the Bolsheviks almost immediately Establish Ukraine and include Nuevo Rusia? Why did Khrushchev “gift” Crimea to Ukraine? Why did they released 1000s of Banderites from prison? This has been in the works for a very long time.
Her grandpa was a nazee and she knew him
Good luck for your trip, Scott! And thanks for the good peace work you do. Wish you great success.
Scott is great speaker,my favourite guest❤❤❤
good to hear that not everyone forgot the horrors we created in laos.🤮 insanity
So happy you continue to bring Scott Ritter on for these conversations. The subject is depressing but the dialogue you provide is much needed, maybe just for my understanding and peace of mind. Keep up the great work 🙂
Kharkiv is Russia's 2nd biggest city......SHE said it.
Yes haha

"Kharkiv is Russia's 2nd biggest city......SHE said it."
No, she didn't. YOU did.
10:56
Nuland "Russia's second city", not " Russia's second biggest city".
Your intentional misquotation reveals that you knew what she meant and that she misspoke, because "Russia's second city" doesn't make sense, and Kharkiv is in fact Ukr's second biggest city.
The irony of inaccurately quoting someone to make fun of her inaccuracy....
Of all the criticisms of, and jokes about, Nuland that one can make, this is quite a petty, trivial one. Worse, it paints you as a blind, biased nituP tool--and an unsophisticated one at that. At best, a distraction.
@@liuj88 making fun of someone, who calls several thousand dead children an acceptable price, is mandatory.

I am thankful for your voice Scott, your wisdom, and your courage. With leaders like you there is always hope for a brighter future for all of God's children. Danny, BRAVO for making this interview happen!
Israel relies on US like a beggar. The Palestinians rely on courage like true warriors
Nazi Fascist Israel is ruling in US
Not a beggar...they have Zionists in control of DC. That's the problem.
Very correct
True! 👍🏻
Screw that war, it’s been going on since I was 5 and I’m 41 now. Not to mention their war won’t lead to the end of the world like Russia and Ukraine can
If All American politicians were like you Mr Scott America would be a free country
God bless you, Scott Ritter. Likewise Mr Danny Haiphong 😅😅😅
Sanctions can be really helpful. You guys remember when Danny was working for The Intercept and was forced out because he did not toe the line on Russia? Look at him now. Doing great, getting the word out, getting the guests HE wants and calling it like he sees it. He is his own man, and crushing it.
Fantastic night with Scott. Wow. Many thanks Scott
Scott Ritter you are simply the best with your analysis. Great man. Thanks Danny
Too much honest and realist and also a brave us marine scott God has already bless you . your honesty is so strong and believe me Bob marley said it all , who Jah bless no one course thank God we pass the words . scott only the real day God called no human can do you evil . one love scott

Thank you Scott

And a pussycat!
Great Analysis Danny, keep it up. Research is truly a luxury most Americans don’t have.
Keep up the great work!

I’m puzzled and every seconds I ask this question why all these killings? And why? Spending trillions of money for developing arms to destroy mankind,animals and and nature

and trafficked South Asian men to serve as more troops in its war:
“Russia ignores calls to stop hiring Nepalis to fight against Ukraine”, 24 Dec 2023, The Kathmandu Post
“India says it uncovers trafficking racket duping people into fighting for Russia in Ukraine”, 8 Mar 2024, Reuters

Thank you Scott for the excellent analysis
Thank you Danny
Poor people of Ukraine 😢😢😢
That was a wonderfully informative program both about Russia and then about Israel's war on Gaza. It gave me a different way of looking at the potential for a different outcome than is usually touted in our media. We will see how it works out. Best to Scott Ritter in his travels.
Great pod cast
I. Love. Your show
Scott Ritter you are the greatest . I really respect you, a fine United States Marine . You make me feel stuff in my heart.
finally a big cleanup, 23 years after he started :) I am not against Russia, but Scott is overwhelming positive about everything from Russia. I think its a positive spin.
